Brandon Roy Charity Article

There was a long article in the Seattle Times today that talked about Brandon Roy's charity ambitions. Since it doesn't look like anyone else posted a link to it, here it is:

Click here.

There were a couple of other interesting articles about athletes' charities that were printed on the same page. Neither of them directly involve any Blazers, but I figured I'd include the links anyway:

No Prob :)
This is actually my first diary. It seems that people on this site usually find and post the news here before I ever find it on my own (which is why I come to this site first). But since most people here don't subscribe to the Seattle Times, I finally found an opportunity to contribute.

Forgot to mention
This article was on the front page of the sports section, and mentioned on the front page of the Times. So I'm guessing there were alot of people in Seattle reading this article yesterday.

it feels good to see you posting
now its time for you to rufflle some feathers ..so tell me... do the people in the emarald city  think that this team in the rose city is eventually going to be theirs... I mean we have the owner, president, and  two players in roy and webster that rein from that city   plus our coach is MR Sonic.. it would be their team..also do they believe webster will pan out as a player who deserved to go # 6
if it can be conceived it can be achieved

Haha
Haha, I figured it was only a matter of time before you came around and stirred up a controversy :D.  Seriously, some people around here have the impression that the Blazers will come to Seattle, but it's only the apathetic non-fans. The real Sonics fans want the team to stay and realize it is cost-prohibitive for Allen to move the Blazers here. What amazes me is how few Sonics fans there are here. Seriously, Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis couldn't get people interested in this team, and Durant isn't doing it either. I really want the Sonics to stay here, but I honestly don't blame the NBA for wanting to move them. Alot of people (including non-fans) like having the team around, but don't seem to realize that the only way to keep the team around is to support them by buying tickets and gear.

And yeah, I haven't posted as much lately because I took a job that has me working 60-70 hours a week. I still drop by a couple times a day to see what's new, though.

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.
