Sky I haven't seen any of the football threads (I'm not into sports) so I didn't see what happened.

One thing that is very difficult about being here is how we effect others... but almost ANYTHING we post has potential of triggering another. People also have to take some responsibility for their own fears and their own safety in reading and interpreting threads. Otherwise no one would be allowed to post anything about anything.

Unless something I am unaware of occured, I can't imagine that finding a little pleasure out of a winning sports team should be hurtful to others, as long as there is no taunting or bad sportsmanship involved. I think sports is clearly a "distraction" that deserves a place here and some fair, light discussion. As I said, anything we post can potentially be a trigger to someone. But it is not a topic like religion or politics that carries potentially deep beliefs that are easily disturbed and that some of us find important to our healing and so should be kept safe, even if that means not discussing them publically.

I don't know... I'm rambling... I guess I'm just saying I think that you should be able to feel good about your team winning... that's what sports is all about... one team wins and one team loses... even regardless of your other troubles. Considering other recent events, I think it is great for you to have something to focus on that can give you even a moment of distraction or joy.

Anyway for the more important stuff... I hope you are doing well surviving the aftermath of the hurricane, both physically and emotionally, and I hope that everyone in your area received the PROPER support that they need from the local and national agencies, for help in rebuilding their lives.
