Backed by NFL Flag, in a world with many possibilities and opportunities, I've decided to bring my first, among many more, a co-ed flag football league to New Orleans. I want to give kids of all ages an outlet. An outet for anger, an outlet for despair, an outlet for feeling like their unheard. Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope, where once there was only despair. It is more powerful than governments in breaking down racial barriers. It laughs in the face of all types of discrimination.”
