Another reason not to play UB......Aruba boycott
http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/11/08/aruba.boycott.ap/
Im sure those of us from North America are very familiar with the story of Natalee Holloway. The governor of Alabama has recently called on all other states to join their boycott on travel to Aruba. Perhaps its too late for UB to pull out of this year, but they should try to have their WPT event held elsewhere. Send UB an email and let them know what you think. rJ |

Re: Another reason not to play UB......Aruba boycott
rJ... what exactly would you like Aruba to do about the NH situation???
Should we boycott every country where someone gets killed? It happens that I was in Aruba, shortly after her disappearance, and can bear witness to everything that was being done at the time. Yes, seeing the grieving family, was difficult, and you certainly can feel their pain. But, there is nothing that will bring her back!!! |

[/ QUOTE ] I was under the impression that the Aruban government was getting in the way and not doing what they said they would. I saw the ban news and figured i'd pass it on. If its not an issue to you then no need to pass on your feelings to UB. If it is an issue to you then do so. rJ |

[/ QUOTE ] At the time, Aruba closed down the workings of their government and enlisted ALL their employees to walk the island in search of her. Its an unsolved case... there are many of them around the world. Aruba is one of the safest places to vacation!! It's still not clear what more you expect from Aruba?? |

If it is an issue to you then do so. [/ QUOTE ] It's about as much of an issue to me as it is to you and I don't think UB should pull out of Aruba. 10 or so years ago there was some serial-killer guy in Florida who was preying on foreign-tourists. The local police weren't getting far in doing something about it. Some of the European and Asian countries were issuing travel-warnings to Florida. There are some Americans who seem to think that NH is the only person who has been ever been killed in a foreign country. Also FWIW - this little boycot plan of the Holloways isn't exactly recently news. |

Re: Another reason not to play UB......Aruba boycott
who gives a crap? So some blonde girl got killed and the murderer's aren't found. that NEVER happens in any other country.
If you have ever been to aruba (and i am guessing you haven't) you would realize that the people of aruba are by far the nicest people you will ever find on a vacation. It is considered the safest travel destination in that region. VIolence against tourists is non-existent. I am sure if she was fat and ugly you would still want to boycott aruba? |

Not sure why people are changing it to a black and poor girl. Even if it's an ugly white chick the attention would be a fraction of what it is b/c she's a hot blond.
