Back from a 4+hr excursion as RNO begins it's foray into video! Wellll we'll see. We had been talking back and forth with David Monsalves, Rick has a camera, why not? Let's see how this goes.
Per usual (well in my experience across different mediums and subject matters) the best stuff comes out AFTER the red light goes off. But that's ok, it was cool to just hear stories, especially those pertaining to Canada and TFC.
It's sorta funny because I'm sure as with anything, as it grows more and more, ideas sprout in your head and especially where we are from in the time that we live, your time always has $$$ tied into it. It was awesome last night to put something out and feel good about sticking to the mandate of why we launched RNO, which was to give exposure to the teams and players in Canada who deserve it. That's it. If we play even the most minute fraction of helping that happen, if the profile of the players and sport here goes up just enough so some 10yr old thinks "I want to play football in or for Canada" - amazing.
I guess what the point is amoungst so much else out there, it's easy to get lost, but we don't seem to worry about it because we're not trying to BE something, we're trying to DO something.
We were standing on the balcony overlooking the indoor pitch and I thought to myself (and said it) - those kids down there should know who David Monsalves is. The guy is one of a small handful of Canadians who have lifted a European trophy. The dude doing laps on the balcony knew who he was (but said nothing to me wtf?) and that was pretty cool.
