"To Our Season Ticket Holders:This off-season has certainly presented a lot of challenges to us, and we realize it has been difficult for our fans. Therefore, we thought it would be helpful to let you know where we are as an organization.Any time a player in our league – and especially a Falcons player – shows up in a negative light for any act, it is disappointing to us. While unsubstantiated to date, the current public situation concerning Michael Vick puts us in a particularly difficult spot because of the daily attention it is receiving in the media, and our inability to respond because we don't yet have all the facts with which to deal.We hope you understand it would be inappropriate and premature to make any definitive statements or take any action until we know the facts. Therefore, we are awaiting the outcome of the investigation just as you are. For the benefit of our fans, the Falcons and Michael, we hope there will be a quick and clear resolution to this matter so we all can move forward.In the meantime, we want you to realize there are many examples of our organization impacting our community in a very positive manner.We have a large number of players on our football team who go above and
beyond in giving back to our community. For example, this off-season Tight End
Alge Crumpler was one of four NFL players who spent 12 days on a USO tour to
U.S. military bases in Iraq and Afghanistan. Defensive Tackle Rod Coleman,
through his foundation, gave metro Atlanta teenagers a head start on their adult
careers by sending them to a Youth Business Camp....."(Blah, blah, blah...you get the picture.)
Anybody want to join me in pouring a little liquor out for their '07-'08 season?
