A Video Recap: Athletic Supporters Charity Success

Thanks to Rachel A. for the pictures, video, interviews and editing!! Also, thanks to Tyler M. and Nabeela I. for pictures too!

AS we already mentioned, the basketball event that helped MDream was a complete success. In celebration, we decided to put together a video recap to show everyone what it was like to be there and all the fun that everyone had.

Enjoy the video and know that Athletic Supporters is there to provide future events for causes.

First Athletic Supporters Event

Athletic Supporters will hold it’s first event come October in South Korea. We are expecting a nice turn-out and will provide an educational message to support volunteering and conservation causes through athletics. Stay tuned as we will provide more information about the event.

Conservation Journalism

In an effort to promote conservation efforts, Athletic Supporters is looking for journalists to submit their stories. We are looking for investigative stories that are focused on culture, conservation and athletics.

Athletic Supporters plans to establish itself as the ‘athletic gateway towards conservation and volunteering events’…Furthermore, the website will have a journalistic approach as interviews, cover stories and investigative work will be a normal routine to further promote athletics, volunteering efforts and conservation causes.

Rematch?

Another controversial event occurred within the world of boxing. The Bradley–Pacquiao fight was certainly a thriller but, as many claim, ended with the wrong victor. The Filipino boxer and politician was suppose to win another fight and continue on his way as one of the world’s greatest. Bradley was suppose to put up a challenge but, according to everyone’s scorecards, was not suppose to demand a win from the judges.

In an unexpected turn of events, the fight concluded with Bradley as the winner.Though the scorecards show that Pacquiao landed 34% of his punches and landed almost 100 more than Bradley, the judges felt that Bradley won despite the evidence.

Is the world of boxing hurting because of this calamity? Or is the skepticism drawing in a reaction that means more views, money and support from fans? Certainly tarnishing a reputation that Manny has garnered over his career is something the boxing world would never do. However, and many skeptics point out, the boxing world has been crumbling for years and this fight was the icing on the cake. An injustice was done. So, who’s to blame?
