We spoke to the Broncos and Jake’s representatives and emphasized that we too want to continue to keep Pat Tillman’s legacy alive but that we have rules regarding personal messages on uniforms that we needed to apply consistently.

The idea of Jake doing a public service announcement relating to our service men and women arose during these discussions and we look forward to working with him on it and showing Jake’s message in all our stadiums beginning on the weekend (November 14-15) after Veterans Day.

We appreciate Senator McCain’s interest as expressed in today’s letter. We have worked with Senator McCain and his office on several tributes to Pat Tillman since his death. Senator McCain has most recently endorsed our $250,000 contribution to build the first USO facility in Afghanistan that will be named the Pat Tillman USO Center for the military men and women stationed there. The formal announcement of the Tillman USO Center will be made at the annual USO Gala tomorrow night in Washington.

For the record, Jake Plummer has not been fined for his actions on this issue and we have no intention of doing so. Rather, we look forward to working together with him.
