DISAPPOINTED IN PAVLIK
FANFARE:
I NEVER DREAMED I WOULD BE WRITING A LETTER LIKE THIS. SO WHY AM I? BECAUSE I CARE AND CARE A LOT.
A HOMETOWN HERO GIVES OUR COMMUNITY A BLACK EYE. AS A NUMBER ONE FAN OF KELLY PAVLIK, I, LIKE MANY, MANY OTHERS, WAS DISHEARTENED TO SAY THE LEAST WHEN I HEARD THE NEWS THAT PAVLIK HAD GOTTEN HIMSELF IN DEEP TROUBLE.
WERE ALL MY DREAMS OF ANOTHER HOMEGROWN HERO GONE UP IN SMOKE?
WHAT CAN PAVLIK DO TO MAKE US BELIEVERS AGAIN?
ADMITTING TO AND APOLOGIZING TO THE POLICE OFFICER AND TO THE COMMUNITY WAS A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, BUT ONLY THE FIRST STEP IN MAKING US BELIEVERS.
TAKING WHAT EVER PUNISHMENT THE JUDGE ORDERS AT SENTENCING AND GETTING ON WITH YOUR LIFE IS THE SECOND.
I KNOW HOW HEART-BROKEN I FEEL AND CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE HURT AND EMBARRASSMENT YOU HAVE PUT YOUR FAMILY THROUGH.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO PROVE TO US OR YOURSELF WHAT YOU CAN DO INSIDE THE RING, ITS WHAT HAPPENS AND HOW YOU CONTROL YOURSELF OUTSIDE THAT RING THAT YOU HAVE TO PROVE TO US AND YOUR FAMILY.
I KNOW YOU WILL DO WHAT'S RIGHT. DON'T LET US DOWN AGAIN. I AND I'M SURE THE WHOLE COMMUNITY WILL BE BEHIND YOU AGAIN.
DO US PROUD KELLY.
YOUR NUMBER ONE FAN
