I just we get a pro team some day heck Myrtle Beach should of gotten the A's down here but I think wnba or NBA would be better less maintenance and less up keep in taxpayers.

Thanks! It's hard to believe that this could even happen. Moss was def. the real hero.

II hear ya! I should have explained a little better. They were stuck on the ship for over a month without their consent. Most of them just wanted to go home, but couldn't
