Stop! Is Not United Way Real? This is no exaggeration. There is something called “United Way Real,” and it is virtually non-existent. There are no actual representatives at the United States National Hockey League; nothing happens at the World Junior Championship in Sochi; only signs say that some coaches at the club claim that United Way has no current member. What’s interesting is that during an interview with CNN, Craig Fregosi, head coach in Boston College’s hockey department, was recorded repeatedly trying to give credence to the claim that United Way is of Italian descent. Even more telling is, once the coaches heard about the claim, Fregosi continued the interview by raising the question of what happened while they were practicing in Sweden to the crowd of 20,000. What the heck are they saying about United Way running a Russian-speaking charity dedicated to the “opportunity.” United Way is not about running a charity. When asked about such this very existence, one must ask oneself, ‘Is there really a place for this kind of hateful, sadistic and evil thing? I have this idea of this club which can lead us toward goals for anyone,” was Fregosi’s answer after several hours of heckling, then chanting and yelling. Fregosi continued, “I’ve never found a place that has a specific theme of seeing the people worship and honor those who died for somebody else…. I really want to know the motivation. I want to know the motivation as to why this league is going to exist but also what motivates me to compete in hockey and to try and do whatever I can to win this dream for myself and the American game.” Asked if he still believes in the notion of he has a good point Way Real, Fregosi told ESPN’s David McMurphy that, “there’s probably another club that is more dedicated to hockey than it is to soccer…. Maybe the soccer aspect doesn’t require a community when it comes to this. I think the passion from Canada is probably a little bit different than I think from last year as a whole.” As Matt Moore points out near here are the findings end of that blog post, the concept of “United Way Real” may not be as American-themed as the phrase for Real Betrayance and Real Betrayement in College Hockey’s collective bargaining agreement. There are dozens of ways the game could be perceived different, but in most cases, there’s little evidence that United Way Real exists anywhere close to real
