Leonidas and his agent walk into the doors of Kansas City High School.

“Thank you for coming, Mr. Leonidas,” the principal beams.

“The honor belongs to me,” Leonidas responds.

The principal leads Escanor to the Gymnasium. Inside of the gym, all of the students have gathered in the bleachers. The principal walks up to the podium.

“Good afternoon, students. Today I am very excited to announce our special guest speaker. You may recognize him from your history books, or maybe as a starting safety for the Kansas City Coyotes. Please give a warm welcome to Leonidas!”

The students cheer as Leonidas approaches the podium. Leonidas accepts the microphone from the principal to address the students.

“Good afternoon, thank you for having me today. Today I am here to give you all a motivational speech. But before that, I would like to announce that I am partnering with local companies to help build Youth Innovation Centers around Kansas City for kids of any age to hang out. Whether you would like to read, do homework, work out, play sports or anything else, our Youth Centers will have it all.”

Leonidas continues on to give a motivational speech, and exits with cheers from the teachers and students. 


“Only 17 more schools to go.”

For his community outreach event, Booter McGavin and his teammate Snappy Gilmore hosted a charity golf tournament. The tournament was to raise money for local hospitals and the restoration of historical houses in the area. The tournament is held in the hometown of both players, Waterbury Connecticut and last year had over 300 participants. The event includes ways for people of all ages and skills to participate. From long drive competitions to rounds of mini golf, there is a multitude of events that are sure to drive interest. Participants that win one of the events are rewarded with various prizes from winning signed San Jose Jerseys to a round of golf with the legend himself Booter McGavin. Last year the even raised over $500,000 for the children's wing at the hospital and this year, Booter and Snappy have pledged to match all donations up made during the course of the event up to one million dollars.

for my event we had a combo skyline chili cook off/skyline eating competition. the catch was that whatever you cooked, you had to eat yourself. the winner was whoever cooked and ate the most cans of skyline chili in 45 minutes. any uneaten cans were counted against the competitor at a rate of 2x (8 oz of leftover skyline = 16 oz deducted from final tally). the winner ended up cooking 6 cans of skyline chili and finishing them all absolutely blowing away the competition. the next closest person cooked 4 cans but only ate 3.5 worth of chili. it seems that the prevalent strategy in this competition is to cool as much as you think you can eat at the start, then drink it straight. that’s what our winner did while the losers ate the chili either in burrito form (chilito) or on a hot dog (coney). all in all, it was a great event and we are all looking forward to it again in the future.

After a series of disastrous offseason escapades resulting in the wanton destruction of an expensive Berlin private garden, Mary Marie's image in the press was truly in the pits. Her agent repeatedly encouraged her to make token gestures of goodwill and charity to repair her image, but the suddenly apprehensive Marie refused, citing a desire to no longer waste her newfound wealth. She was dragged repeatedly for her greed and selfishness, but it was not until many months later that she ever really addressed anything. Wanting to "give back to the plants [she had] harmed", she launched an effort to protect local plant biodiversity in places that would otherwise not receive those protections, first by purchasing plots of land with endangered flora that were otherwise slated for development, and turning them into community gardens instead. Marie would personally work on every project, going from place to place and learning about their local plants, meeting people, and working hard to build something better. Working on these projects gave her an excellent opportunity to stop partying so hard every offseason and go sober, and while it never fully repaired her image in the media, she had discovered a love for both botany and community that would consume her every offseason.

The Honolulu team has finally decided to do some community outreach and help all of those people around their community that love and support them. Lenny Longpipe and the rest of the squad have decided to do two programs, the first being a clean the beach event, and the second is saving the turtles! The first phase is to of course clean up the beaches around the islands of Hawaii in order to restore some of the beauty and awe of the most amazing beaches in the world. The entire Honolulu team has gotten friends and family , while meeting up with fans, to help clean up the beaches in order to provide a better experience for the island goers, but as well as the environment of the surrounding animals in the ocean and around the beach; the turtles especially. They are a species that is slowly diminishing and by helping provide them a better home, and cleaner beaches, we can all hope that no more straws or plastic waste is invading their homes and causing them issues.

The city of New York has many homeless people living on its streets. As rent continues to go up in the city that never sleeps, New York’s homeless population is bound to increase minute by minute. Luckily, a certain party-throwing, non-homeless individual named Donte Darius has decided (at the urging of the team and his sponsors) to give back to those that need it the most. Not in any professional sense of course, he’s just gonna go around giving money to homeless people. He takes to the streets in his brand new Mercedes-Benz, throwing 100 dollar bills at random homeless people. Some people he doesn’t even know if they’re homeless or not, but if he sees a cardboard sign with words on it that’s enough for a 100 dollar bill. In other news, Donte Darius has been released by his sponsors for “conduct detrimental to the brand” which I am sure is unrelated to this incident.

Notso Smart’s community outreach is just an ongoing part of his obligations to the people of Arizona, along with the rest of the Outlaws roster. He doesn’t need to be told that he has to get out there and be amongst the people, it’s just part of the Outlaw identity and one of the reasons that they have been successful for so long — as well as one of the reasons that the fan base and city as a whole remains on their side when things don’t go their way.

Smart has a pretty packed schedule on this front, doing everything from hospital visits to spend time with sick children, hosting sporting clinics, participating in charity events, volunteering at a local school and collaborating with various local nonprofit organizations. His role in all of these situations varies from event to event but his presence is what matters the most, using his platform for the betterment of the community as a whole.

Blaine Falco is definitely a man of the people. He has always made time for charity and that goes back to his father's time in the league. There are many opportunities due to New York City being such a vast metropolitan area, but I think Blaine would want to do something to help underprivileged children in the city. We could have some schools bring some kids out and runs routes and throw some passes. Get them active and running around. The big thing about sports is that it teaches so many lessons that we can use in our day to day lives. Discipline and teamwork are just two main things these children can take away. So talking to them about the importance of these things on top of staying active and leading a healthy lifestyle could help keep them out of trouble or at least set them down a path of making good, healthy choices. I think it would go well and we will have made some Silverback fans for life.

Alita Battle Angel is a rookie in the ISFL. She has had a great season so far with many interceptions and big plays. The Hahalua organization has decided that Alita Battle Angel should be one of the players to host the local Honolulu kids day activities. She helped organize the event and also did some autograph signings with the local kids. She’s a big hit among the girls of the community who look up to her as one of the few female football players in the ISFL. She gave a short talk with the kids of the community, emphasizing the need to work hard at whatever you do and to never give up. The message was well received from both kids and parents who were at the event. Alita Battle Angel also insisted on getting as many pictures with kids as she could to give them memories of this nice event. Alita enjoyed her time volunteering and plants to do it again.
