Have done... here's a copy of the letter....

What a load of arrogant nonsense "real sport for real people" speaks.
Is he (presumably a he) frightened of the fact that ice hockey may be
taking up his 'precious' air time? I mean, I can see how he is upset,
because sports like football hardly get any coverage do they?
I don't think so. Football saturates the media. Other sports give
people a breath of fresh air, especially the ones like me that find
football too slow and extremely dull.
The world would be a better place without these selfish,
inconsiderate, narrow minded stupid lunatics foisting their
old-fashioned opinions upon the people who actually decide to try
new things. The Storm will grow and keep on growing. Ice hockey IS
the way forward. There is NO going back. And that's a FACT.
