Give it all out to the contributors.

And I would also like to see the website improved, showing the different sports.

The federation should try to design mechanisms by which the level of all its sports especially that of soccercould be significantly improved inorder to join the US soccer leagues. Various cities within each state could compete and best players could be picked to represent the state in general, and at the national level, the same could be done to make a team that represents ESFNA and sent over to the US leagues.
It's doable.

try to e-mail this petition to everyone again, and ask them to contribute their own ideas. It will help us improve many things.
Good luck,

I agree with the petition's idea, and I hope things will change in the future events.

But, I think, it is a legitimate question.

But there is still room for improvement to make things even better.
Good job petitioner, and good first step ESFNA.

Let ideas be out for the public to debate them and act upon them inorder to produce more new and improved ideas bringing an uplift in our lives.

Had it not been for such excessive conservatism, this idea would have been easily accepted. We're always punishing those who think outside the box, hence our backwardness and dogmatic thinkings and traditions. This blind following the norm could open the door for corruption.

The volunteers in the organization are doing their best to make the event better and better every year. We don't know what they go thru! So what I suggest is: They are doing a great job and let's leave it that way!

I support your petition fully. It is as it should be! The ESFNA that thrives partially on the income it drives from the general public through various techniques should assist team members and individual players who participate in the games. I myslef know good players who do not take part in the ESFNA annual events due to financial constraints - inability to cover costs of transportation, hotels, etc. ESFNA should encourage more participants through all means in its capacity.

Your initiative is supportable and legitimate. It helps many, specially the youth and the unemployed, to obtain some means of augmenting their meagre resources to participate in the tournament. I see no reason why the ESFNA should not accept the idea.

Good Luck!
Selamu B.
