Or Michael Jordan at Midwest.....Or even worse, (f)Art Modell for Chesapeake.... Many sports figures have tortured the city of Cleveland in the past - that's why it's the most tortured fan base in the country. It's a good thing security is so good at the Naval Academy, because I think all of Northeast Ohio would try to descend upon that place if they found out Modell'd be there in person....
Surprisingly enough, I actually rooted for good ol' Happy Horse Teeth in his Super Bowl victories. He was a Bronco in every sense of the word. Heck, he was even originally drafted by the Colts. The horse thing was in his blood.
Weren't a few Colts players scheduled to pay a visit to the IRI in 2003? A lot of these players, in addition to being high-priced entertainers who represent the professional sports whose core principles counter those of FIRST, are still very active and positive contributors to local charities and schools. I would think that all regionals would benefit from asking such celebrities to attend their events and speak on their behalf.
