Good question Sean. A couple of others have asked me this in PM, so I guess I should share it here. Some of those big names are fan pages, and some are the real thing. Mark Brunell is real, as is Kurt Warner. Even the ones that are fan pages attract thousands of other people, so any message I leave them will be seen by a lot of people. I do check each page I find for the NFL guys to see if it is real or just a fan page. Often you can tell if they have relatives or team-mates personal pages listed as their top friends. Almost all of the college guys are real, but some don't log into their pages very often. Ex. I'm still waiting on Jacob Hester to accept my friend request because I don't think he's been on in 2 months. We do have his older brother as a friend though. Luke Lippincott, Danny Woodhead, Owen Schmitt, Brock Bolen, Tim Tebow, and Jake Locker are some of the more prominent friends of the page. I have slowed the "friend gathering effort" down a bit over the last few days because I've been swamped with school work, but we just (as I type this) hit the 500 friend mark!
We are getting a lot of high schoolers and college players who are asking to be friends, so that is a good thing. Thanks for the comments gentlemen. I hope this will get the truth out to more people. By the way, I had a young black guy send me an add request two days ago, and he later sent me a message and said he had wondered why there weren't more white skill players starting in the NFL and that he agrees with us.
