151. Keep the name "Seattle SOUNDERS!" 
This petition has been started in June 2004 by Seattle Sounders Supporters after a statement in the press by Sounders' GM Adrian Hanauer:
"My feeling is that we need it (possible MLS team name) to be something huge and new, and not have it just be that the (current) Sounders are adding four players and moving up to MLS. That's not to say there won't be a way to keep some of the tradition and refer to that nostalgia. But I'm leaning toward a new brand."

153. Ferris Junior High and High School Soccer Team
The Ferris ISD offers a limited number of sports to its students. Many members of the community travel to Red Oak in order to compete in soccer. With the upcoming growth of the school district due to added housing developments and the student demand, we feel it wise to offer soccer as a school sport in Ferris.

This is a petition to get SpeedVision added to the lineup at CBC. With the large population of motor sports fans in Barbados, we should have enough say to have a channel that caters us.
155. Stop The Production of Child Labour Made Products
We would like to boycott products made from child labour in stopping the production of these products, such as soccer balls or carpets.

158. Bring Back Roy
Republic of Ireland captain Roy Keane has been sent home from the World Cup because he publically spoke out about about the FAI & poor training conditions.
Irish management felt Keane's presence would be too disruptive to the rest of the players.
In sending Roy home, the only thing the Irish management have disrupted is Irelands chances in the World Cup.
Forget saving face, for once!
WE want Roy, so bring him back.
159. Help the residents of Aberdeen trying to prevent a soccer stadium in the countryside
A soccer team wants to build a giant stadium and associated structures in country land next to a new village. The guy who owns the soccer team also built most of the homes in the village. But when he was selling the homes he didn't tell any of the owners he was going build a soccer stadium when he was done.
The stadium would attract crowds of up to 30,000 in an area surrounded by country lanes. There are no plans to put in any new roads. 389 residents of Aberdeen objected to the Scottish Government's plan to waive the regulations for building in country land. The Government dismissed the objections, saying they were "incompetent." Then 1459 residents of Aberdeen lodged objections with their planning authority and they are now worried that these will also be dismissed.
32 grounds for objection were submitted by 1459 residents. These included :
1) Traffic gridlock
2) No railway link
3) Noise pollution
4) Light pollution
5) The landscape will be ruined
6) Urbanisation of country land
7) A precedent will be created for more developments
8) A better site exists in industrial land next to a highway and a railway line.
We need help to avoid getting rail roaded by the city and national Governments.
160. ebskatepark.org
We the residents of East Brunswick believe there is a need to construct a Skatepark in order to give every one (children and adults) who enjoy the sport of Inline Skating, Skateboarding, and organized Roller Hockey a safe location and facility to do so. Neighboring towns have constructed skating facilities, or have them under study for future construction. We believe East Brunswick needs to do the same. Rollerblade sports should be given the same consideration baseball, soccer, and baseball receive. The construction of a Skatepark is an important step.
