After a 12-year-old from Yukon, Oklahoma, hand-wrote letters to executives of 32 NFL teams, he was shocked and delighted to receive a personal response from the owner of the Carolina Panthers, who have undoubtedly made a fan for life.
一个来自奥克拉荷马育空地区的12岁孩子，亲笔给32位国家橄榄球联盟经理写信后，很惊讶也很开心的收到卡罗来纳黑豹的亲笔回信。毫无疑问成了他的终身球迷。
When Heather Pope's son Cade was home-sick from school the week before Christmas, he was "kind of bored" and "needed something to take up his time," so he asked his parents if he could write to every professional football team. On December 26, Cade sent 16 letters to the NFC teams.
圣诞节前一周，Heather Pope的儿子Cade在学校很思念家乡，他很“无聊”并且“需要做些事情来打发时间，”因此，他问他的父母他是否可以给每个职业足球队写信。12月26号，Cade给国家足球联盟队寄了16封信。1月5号，Cade给亚足联队寄了16封信。第一封是寄给加利佛尼亚黑豹队队长Jerry Richardson。
On January 5, Cade sent 16 letters to the AFC teams. A letter to Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson was in the first batch.
Cade写道：“我的家人和我都热爱足球。我们每个周末都会踢足球和看国家足球联盟对的比赛。我的父母是St. Louis Ram的球迷。我的哥哥是堪萨斯城首领的球迷。我还没有为之喝彩的球队。我准备选择一支国家足球联盟的队伍来作为自己终身支持的球队。”
Cade wrote, "My family and I love football. We play football and watch NFL games every weekend. My parents are St. Louis Ram's fans. My brother is a Kansa's City Chiefs' fan. I don't have a team to cheer for yet. I am ready to pick an NFL team to cheer on for a lifetime!"
他的妈妈说：“因为圣诞节和其他一些活动的耽搁，他花了整整三周来手写这些信件。”她还说：“他其实并没有期望收到任何一个队的回信。他只是想看看他会接到怎样的反应。”上周，他的妈妈收到一个来自黑豹队的盒子。那个时候Cade还在学校，但是妈妈给他发了一张照片。“我让他猜猜是哪支球队，并且给他提示说他们之前在参加复赛。他首先就猜到了黑豹队。”
His mother Pope said, "With Christmas and different activities it took him about three weeks to hand-write all of those letters . " "He didn't really have one team that he wanted to hear from," she said. "He just wanted to see what kind of response he'd get. "Last Thursday, His mother received a box from the Panthers. Cade was still at school, but she texted him a photo. "I asked him to guess which team it was and gave him a hint that they were in the playoffs. The Panthers was his first guess."
当Cade回到家，他打开包裹发现一个来自Richardson手写的便条。这个队长写道：“如果我们卡罗莱纳黑豹队能够成为你支持的队伍，我们将倍感荣幸。我们会用漂亮的方式让你们骄傲。”
When Cade came home he opened the package to find a handwritten note from Richardson.
Richardson 在信中也“对他的一些队友大加赞赏”。Pope 说 Cade 收到那样的回应非常高兴。
The team owner wrote, "We would be honored if our Carolina Panthers became your team. We would make you proud by the classy way we would represent you."
