Update # 3- Public Writing

My article is based on the initial introduction of this issue.  Not many people outside of the sailing team know exactly what happened and why it happened.  As an article of this sort, I included voices (from team members) to show ‘how this event is being responded to’ (Shamoon 64).  These voices also shed light on what exactly happened, and I give the angle on Joey’s reasoning to quit. 
In the next part of the piece, I offered suggestions to show the next steps that should happen in order to help resolve this piece.  As my final copy, I think I have offered resolution to the issues.  The comments I received noted that the issue stated should be magnified further to help show why the coach left, and what my piece had to do with public writing and resolving the issue.  I have also provided comparison to what happened to the coach and what the public can do to help prevent this from happening in the issue. 
My question to the audience is, what you think of a club sport turning into a varsity sport to protect their coach from leaving again?  The reasoning to why the coach left is simply because he was worn out of too much work and too little money.  If the coach was paid as a varsity coach instead of club coach, he would have likely not demised the team and left them at the decline he did.
