May 27, 2011 Happy Memorial Day Weekend
"And they who for their country die shall fill an honored grave, for glory lights the soldier’s tomb, and beauty weeps the brave". — Joseph Rodman Drake, To the Defenders of New Orleans Read more » |
Last week in a Herald Sun article, Hawthorn President, Jeff Kennett questioned the rationale and the AFL's commitment to growing the game outside of Australia. "I don't know why they do it. AFL football will never be an international game. To be quite honest, I would rather my players, if they were asked, didn't go on the trip. It's an unnecessary risk. I think it's just a junket for the officials of the AFL and the media.''
The USAFL Board and Staff members would like to wish everyone a safe and enjoyable long Memorial Day weekend as we welcome the unofficial start of summer.Pages
