   There will always be misunderstandings. Glad the LAF set it straight. Keep up the good work and focus on the fight against cancer!

   Truly an incredible idea and a logical “dynamic” partner would be NIKE. LAF should develop a proposal asap and get it in the hands of the appropriate NIKE folks. “Just Do It.”

   Reporters are always in the way… huh?
   But it was a great thing to quickly put these absurd comments to rest.

   LIVESTRONG

   I’m TOTALLY behind the Nike/LAF “Just Do It” cycling team! That would be awesome. Not to mention it’d be nice to have another US based cycling team.

   It completely makes sense to start a Team Nike-Twitter.

   How about taking the LiveStrong Team public in partnership with the hundreds of thousands of folks committed to the LiveStrong cause? Sell shares to regular folks. Set up a separate for-profit company, but funnel the profits to LAF. How many people would love to have the chance to be a part-owner of the LiveStrong team? If Nike and Twitter want to be major shareholders, that’s ok, too!!!!!

   It would be great it Lance & Co. would support women’s cycling too. There is another very fast Armstrong out there and a whole lot of great women racers, who would be perfect vehicles to get the Livestrong message out.

   I would go back to buying more NIKE products if there was a LAF/NIKE “Just Do It” Cycling Team. How cool would that be?
