Damian Lewis reads a hilarious letter from a girls' football team coach

When he sent the letter you're about to watch in March of 2009, Michael Kinahan was the coach of a football team in Massachusetts consisting of seven-year-old girls. Sadly for him, many of the letter’s recipients—the girls’ parents—failed to see the funny side of his “playful” letter and complained to league officials. Kinahan resigned from the role days later. Damian Lewis joined us to read Michael's letter at a Letters Live show on March 6th, in the week of International Women's Day, at London's Royal Albert Hall.
