Hi Sharon,

I think you're probably talking about Donald McPherson. He's a former
all-american and NFL football player who now does anti-violence work in You
can reach him at Adelphi University and at 


We hosted him here at Harvard in the Spring and he was wonderful.

Several years ago, at the Safe Schools conference in Orlando, I saw a  
former NFL player present on his sexual assault/harassment education  
efforts. Well, I'm pretty sure he is a former NFL player. I remember  
thinking at the time, that he'd do a great job getting through to  
athletes on sexual violence.

Well, our athletics dept., particularly football, is looking to bring  
someone in to talk with the men about this issue. I was hoping to  
find some contact information for this man, or someone like him. The  
delivery is going to be crucial with this group and I want to help  
athletics find someone to whom the players will really connect. I'm  
so excited they're taking this step (instead of doing this "in  
house"--within athletics) and want to be supportive every step of the  
way.

Does anyone know the man of whom I speak (or someone like him)? For  
some reason, I think his name may be Don and he may have player for  
the Dolphins--but that could just be SportsCenter brain infiltration!

Thanks in advance for any help!

:) Sharon



?Part of the reason I wanted to come back (for a 22nd season) was  
because I hoped for a better finish for the team,? he said. ?And I?m  
hoping my final year and my final game didn?t end with me being  
helped off the ice.?    Steve Yzerman 9/16/04

Me too.
