[Kestrels]An open letter to our dear Axe; (and management, since they're pulling your strings)
You need to lighten up. I'm sure you'll take great offense to this letter, but I just want to point out some things.
19, 20, 24, 24, 24, 25, 27. That makes the average age of our starting players, including yourself, 23.3.
Just some other tidbits I'd like to point out and request information on:
Just how many times have we lost because of what was printed in the Tattler or other rags?
How effected would you say our actual playing is by rumors spread or attention given to us?
Would you rather have a team rife with marital discord and pregnancies? Or would you instead care to have a team full of coups for the captaincy, drama and fascinating infighting? Or maybe you'd like to stick with the young and rambunctious team, that although is rowdy, we remain hungry and eager to play and learn. Or maybe you'd like to throw out the team that you have because shockingly, they get along really, really well, work together amazingly and have a captain that refuses to lighten up and join us.
If you, or the management are thinking that threatening us with losing our jobs is going to have a good outcome, I would think again. I was picked up to play for the Kestrels in Hogwarts. And many other teams, I have to point out.
I was asked to play. Not the other way around, but I picked the Kestrels.
I would ask you to look at United, when they were our age, young and in the tattler all of the time. I know for a fact that they were just as wild and out there as us. So why should we have our jobs threatened and be chastised not only for bringing publicity to our team, but it being a very well thought out team building exercise?
Just because we have fun doesn't mean we don't take our jobs, winning and this game seriously. Above all else, none of this team has ever been about the bottom line, we're too young and still love playing too much to make it about that. Until you and the management make it that.
So why are some boobies being shown to boys and women being taken on dates such a big deal?
I play quidditch to play quidditch, not for any other reason and I'm pretty sure the rest of the team feels that way. That's why we all get along so well.
xoxo, Zoey!
p.s. we're going to Paris for New Years, your attendance is required.
