Alright, some few things I wanna talk about really quick
is A: I'm still recovering from a nasty stomach infection where it's
You don't really know where it came from but that's why I really haven't been uploading for last the week--
S- Sorry about that.
Still feel kind of shit now probably pale. (Hope you get better! :D)
I'M PALE ANYWAY!!1!1!
NOMME ??? :^
B: The second thing is I want to give a kind of background to this video real quick and Uhhhhhhh...
Just kinda explain what the hell you're gonna watch so this whole video is basically around a sponsorship that I did with a Rugby club-
that kind of just...
Escalated out somewhere that I'd never really think was possible, but I reached out to this Rugby club,
UH. It's a local Rugby Club the I have been to for many many years played against many many times
I asked if they needed any help so one of the guys just head up with the club used to be my-my manager,
So he can I got me in touch with everybody.
He was like; Yeah! Don't Worry! I got you! :D
This should be a lot of fun and he can escalate it from I want this to be a sponsorship to...
What you're about to see so I really didn't be real quick, and I run the video
And then I come to you guys they've ever answer to talk about everything going off, rightGUVJHBKFHDYGHBSD-
He's come a long way since arriving at City of Derry Rugby Club on the foil in Londonderry College School Bus.
Craig Thompson's rise in popularity has been eye catching over the last few years.
The 22 year old; from Edmonton who's a gamer and youtuber called Mini Ladd has more than four million subscribers.
(Yay, free Shoutout! :D)
*gibberish.*
Sponsorship of City of Derry over the next 10 years is believed to be in the region of a quarter of a million Pounds. ($330,400.00 in U.S Dollars)
I played seven years worth of Foil College rugby. It was in my First Three years and every single year I came to down here played in this pitch many many times
I live not too far away from here myself, so I come down here at Boxing Day. I would come down
And just chill so this is kind of like a second home for me
That's why I want to kind of give back to the local community for just kind of like all the years of joy this brought me really
For City of Derry rugby club, it would make perfect sense to rename the stadium
Well if somebody comes in and decides to sponsor you for 10 years and make sure that our
Cross Community oftrue rugby bringing kids together
Can be sustainable to the next 10 years, and he's prepared to invest in it
and we're happy enough to do that it is a very special weekend for Craig Thompson as
He visits the stadium now named after him to meet players and staff
He has no intention of returning to the field of play
He says he's going to stick to doing what he does best.
So I just realized, I haven't actually introduced its blog yet. So welcome to this video (Glad to be here!)

Yeah, how do you feel what this whole thing it's still pretty weird. I mean. It's really cool that they're giving you the recognition
everything but
Cuz the same time like you even said yourself many times like you just know me as Craig
you kind of forget that many lot is also a thing so saying all of this you're like ah

craziest of my day so far if you realize this is exactly the same spot where I started my intro so
So what's gonna happen now? We're gonna. Go inside Ireland's first South Africa is going on national. We're gonna go a chillin
Up
Here a little bit until later on where I talk to you guys and just explain everything on
Hope you guys we go in the plaza fine. I love you bad
It's the whole thing is select really overwhelming the whole thing really still doesn't make sense. I can't like walk
Don't you go on in the video a little bit life can be very doom and gloom a can be very down
Depressing no matter. Where are you from and for me? I come from a very rural background to the point
Where kind of growing up in and around there? There's not much hope for?
Anything really and so I don't know one blow there can relate if you promise
Small towns even bigger cities where it can be a very very overwhelming like coming to LA is extremely overwhelming so I can't want to
Give people that glimmer of hope and saying that it doesn't matter where you're from it doesn't matter what your background is
You can kind of do what you want cuz for me
I never expected any of this to happen so with me even sponsoring this ropey Club. It can get a lot of the people who
Maybe wouldn't even try rugby before or who wouldn't even try and sort of get out there a little bit more
Because they're too Frater to kind of like
Closed off from everything like I was for a lot of my life to be honest with you because it doesn't really matter what it
Is whether it's rugby?
Whether it's watching mini live videos or whatever because I know they love people as well who's reached out to me saying
Hey like
I've met so my best friends because we all watch mail-out videos or my girlfriend or my wife or
Crazy things like that so the one thing that I cannot thought about going forth is where we sponsorship
it's a because it's really funny having it's
Taken after me and be
Because it doesn't really matter what it is as long as you have a common ground to get started with something
Like with rugby for example if you like rugby
then you already know everyone who's there also like froakie so you already have that common garden to get going and make friendships make
relationships make swear that make whatever with same thing with the whole mail-id thing is like even though my odd is me I
understand that it can become like a bigger thing in the sense that people can come around and there's a community and based in and
Around my video so even if the common ground is people watching my videos
I want to give people that little push to say like hey if you want to go out there you go do it
Don't let anybody hold you back. He's even with me like I have no shame in admitting up old people many times
I got straight bullied at school before doing YouTube
But I still persevered and the funny thing in though is going back to those same people. And going fuck you sunshine
I guess we're going to leave this video. I think y'all so much for watching
Moral the story if this entire video is don't let anybody hold you back seriously no matter what it is
I've talked about many videos before whether it is YouTube whether it is
Music acting doing whatever you want even if it is going down to a pottery class
But you know people to laugh at you for some weird reason just go out there, and do it enjoy life enjoy for everything
It's worth There's so many opportunities out there you just gonna reach out and take it don't let anybody say otherwise
Cuz otherwise the other ones gonna. Hold you back in there
They're from where you're not gonna invite to anything themselves go prove them wrong not for me. Not for your family
Not for anything that but for yourself enjoy life, so ladies you ever think y'all so much for watching
appreciate y'all watch this video
I still feel like absolute shit
But if you did enjoy sir don't forget to leave a like subscribe if you're new and lads as always I subscribe stuff
I'll talk to you on the next one
