标题[新闻] 佛爷告别信
时间Wed Jun 27 17:41:23 2012
昨天陪伴魔术走过五年岁月的Foyle离职了
今天在哨兵报上,佛爷写了一封感谢信给球迷
或许是学经历俱佳,加上这几年在哨兵报写专栏的经验
他的文笔以我看过的球员来说,应该可以排进前三
用字简单诚恳而不流於空泛,绝对值得球迷花上几分钟读一下

Orlando, FL, June 26, 2012 — As you all know by now, my tenure as Director
of Player Development for the Orlando Magic has come to an end- I was let go
by the organization on Monday.
I have to say that working in the Magic's front office was a truly amazing
experience for me. I had the opportunity to work with a group of great young
men and, hopefully, I was able to influence their lives in a small way. I've
also enjoyed the opportunity to work with some great people within the front
office – people from whom I learned a lot, and I will be forever better
because of them.
I bear no ill will towards the organization. As everyone knows, this is a
business. Rob Hennigan, the Magic's new GM, did what he needed to do. As the
new man in charge, he should be given the free will to hire the his own
people to serve him.
As a member of the Orlando Sentinel's 「Opinionators,」 I have always tried
to use this medium as a way to have conversations with people who didn't
share my views of the world – or just my views in general. Whether you are a
Democrat, a Republican or an Independent, I believe that as a country, the
only way we can move forward is by continuing to have the conversations that
people don't want to have. Such conversations are difficult, but if we are
both honest and respectful of each other, we will ultimately become a better
society. It is when we scream instead of talk to each other, that I feel
democracy suffers. With that said, it has been an absolute pleasure to argue
and exchange views with all who have either agreed or disagreed with my
views. I hope we will continue the talk, because only through talk will we
realize that we are not red or blue, but truly, we are all gray. And it's in
the grey where progress is made. It's in the grey where we try to understand
each other and realize that no matter how different we are, we still have
something that binds us together …and that is our love of country.
As far as what the future holds for me, I plan to spend this summer to assess
and decide in which direction I will go. Whether or not there is a future
for me on this blog is up in the air. But what I truly want to say to the
good people of Orlando is that it has been an unbelievable five years – both
as a player and as a member of the front office. It was a great run. I've
gotten to know so many of you and I truly believe that I have become a better
person just by knowing all of you. I will never forget the love that you have
shown me. You opened up your community to me and welcomed me wholeheartedly,
and for that, I am truly, truly blessed.
As my journey continues, I have no idea where this road will lead, but I am
excited about the journey ahead. I encourage you to continue to make your
voices heard on this great platform. In articulating your frustrations, you
come to understand yourself better. That has been my experience in my years
of writing for this blog.
So again, thank you all … and until next time.
