the mighty argonauts

the Nobel Peace prize to the mighty Toronto Argonauts football organization!!!

I saw much of the eloquent, moving speech by Toronto Argonauts head coach Michael (Pinball) Clemons on television yesterday. Their "Stop the Violence - We are Toronto" campaign is giving at its best. They are reaching out to help Toronto's disaffected youth to quell the violence that has threatened to swallow them and the Toronto community.

Individual team members are speaking out against the violence many of them lived with first-hand back in the U.S. The team is moving their practices to affected neighbourhoods. There is a town hall meeting scheduled for September.

God bless these guys!
