Fresh Links: Spirit Day Edition

Hey, you know what's cool? The fact that there are tons of major league sports teams getting on board with this whole Spirit Day thing.

By sarahconnors

For those who don't know, Spirit Day is run by GLAAD and it's an anti-bullying campaign. The Flyers are on board, and so are the Canucks - I'm sure other teams are as well, but those are the primary teams I've seen from the NHL being talked about today.

Awesome! Okay, here are some links.
