Announcement
|
|
|
After watching the 14th player since I have been following high school sports in Delaware since 1995 leave the field on a stretcher, I have decided to make some changes to what I do on Delawaresports.com.
I am going to do this a bit backwards and make this announcement first and then give the reasons why afterward.
I have talked about doing this for some time but have become so bogged down in the daily minutia of this website that it has my priorities backwards.
We are going to create a foundation called the Injured Athletes Assistance Foundation and use Delawaresports.com as its home base, at least for the time being.
This foundation, at least as of this moment, will have the following purposes:
1- To identify those in our athletic community who are still struggling with disabling injuries without regard to when they took place.
2- To monitor our athletic community for athletes who become severely injured and to continually monitor their progress and needs.
3- To financially assist athletes who become injured playing sports. Our priority will be on those who become permanently and critically injured whether on the field or off the field.
4- To never let anyone forget those in our athletic community who become disabled. Our site and organization will not allow our community to forget what is happening with this people.
5- To provide counseling services to injured athletes and their families.
6- To provide further counseling services to coaches and teammates of fallen athletes.
7- To build a center where physical and emotional therapy can take place.
8- To expand our reach nationwide.
9- To continue to create events and gatherings to raise awareness and funds to achieve the above objectives.
10- Create workshops for new coaches designed to raise awareness of safety issues and concerns.
11- To keep these injured people on top of our priority lists FOR AS LONG AS IT TAKES to see them healthy again.
Hopefully I can find some more like minded people willing to help me with what could be a very large project. Alone, I cannot do this.
I am looking to start to do this with a lot of assistance and hopefully my friends and community will not let me down with this project.
First I would like to find people interested in brainstorming this project and fine tuning an ultimate mission. Anyone is welcome to help.
Second, I will clearly need an attorney and an accountant who are willing to donate time to set up this organization as a not-for-profit entity and to keep the books.
Third, I do not need to run this organization. If someone wishes to take the lead because he or she has superior organization skills, that would be great. But if not, it’ll be me. I will need folks willing to join a board of directors and take on real responsibilities.
That is the starting point and I am taking phone calls right now at 302-547-4645 to discuss any of this further.
Now, a little more about why these changes will take place.
As I had mentioned in a previous note on the site, there are plenty of places online to get the trivia about local sports…the scores, the standings, etc. When I first started this site there wasn’t anyone doing what I did and not even the newspapers. Now, of course, everyone has caught up and the large companies surpassed what I was able to do with all of the resources at their disposal. And all of the schools and sports teams have their own websites so unless I did something particularly creative there was no real reason for the generic sports fan to visit the site journaling the minutia of sports. So with everything that I do these days there just isn’t any justifiable reason for me to continue chronicling these things and have decided to stop doing so.
But my reasons for stopping that are trivial as well and just not really important to anyone.
So what is important to you and to our communities? There is no doubt that there are plenty of answers to that but for the purpose of this the answer is simply about these kids who get hurt playing sports.
When I saw Nyerere Pritchett from the Charter School of Wilmington lying face down in the cold wet muck of Concord High School’s football field last Saturday, there were a couple of things that ran through my mind, besides the simply obvious fact that I hoped he was going to be ok. First, it was a lousy weather day and because it was as miserable as it was those around me at the time just wanted to get home. In fact, while Pritchett was getting medical attention someone even said that this was sort of “good” because they would have to stop the game now.
I’m not sure that I can properly articulate what it feels like to hold an injured friend or family member in your arms. And writing about having held someone or a pet in your arms as they breathe their final breaths is something even more difficult to describe.
But there was only one thing that ran through my mind in those moments that have happened to me and it’s simply this…I would have given anything that I had or done anything that I could to keep that from happening. Everything else and I do mean everything else was and is trivial. Nothing else is important at that time and really in the grand scheme of things everything else is placed into a different perspective then. For me all of those moments have combined to completely alter the way that I think about life and what my priorities are. Not that they were skewed in any poorly prioritized way, but rather that my thought process was just different.
I was watching Pritchett’s mother on the field standing over her fallen son and it brought back those thoughts of my experiences. It’s such a dark, lonely, and desperate feeling.
Yet that is the potentially just the beginning for that family. God forbid that Pritchett became paralyzed that day which, thank goodness, he did not as I learned the next day. What happens then to our fallen athletes? Well, generally there is an initial outpouring of support from the community and our community does not fail there.
Do you have any idea what happens back at home with these families? I’d say that most do not. Some don’t know how such an injury can tear apart a family financial (although most people can certainly guess). Most don’t know how it can tear apart a family emotionally and that is perhaps the worst part of it all.
There are two other things in particular that bother me about this. Have you ever had someone tell you how much they wished for everything to be ok for you in a real extra serious tone? It’s almost as if because they use some extra inflection in their voice it makes them believe they are really doing something special to help you. Perhaps they put an arm around you and say it or they do something different with their expression. Whatever it or the sentiment might be is normally sincere and sometimes will do the trick, but still they are simply just words. While the words are welcome, what do they really do if you have just lost someone to injury or death when your own world has fallen apart? Now, I’m not talking about those out there who really mean what they say and will follow up with action, I am again referring to those who use that extra inflection and expression who really won’t, or even can’t, do anything else. Am I one of just a few that bothers?
Perhaps that is just a pet peeve, but the second thing is more disturbing to me…that we forget who these critically injured people are after a while. Sure we go out and run a 5K to raise money, perhaps send a donation right away. We might even go out on the one year mark to remember and support again. But after time, we stop doing so. We forget about these people. I can’t blame anyone for living their own lives of course, but I can imagine that there are some people out there who might see that perhaps their priorities could be re-arranged a bit to help out some people who have been forgotten and are still in need. Perhaps there are some people out there who will join me to make yet another difference in our communities.
Well, I continue down this path further that I care to at right now although I might continue on at another time, but that’s enough to begin to explain what I will do with my particular time on Delawaresports.com from this point forward. Feel free to call me at 302-547-4645 to talk about this further.
Regards,
Marshal Manlove
