For the love of the Rebels
Compliment the Rebels
An invitation from Dawn Weir
Las Vegas, let’s show our Rebels some love.
Football at Allegiant Stadium, basketball at the Thomas & Mack, volleyball and women’s basketball at The Pavilion. Write a sincere compliment for a Rebel player, a coach or the whole team. I’ll gather every one and share them with the team.
A gift from the fans, not an official team program.
This is a community invitation from Dawn Weir and Compliments for Change. UNLV and UNLV Athletics haven’t partnered with or endorsed it. Every compliment is read with care and shared with the team as a gift.
The countdown
Four teams. One city behind them.
Every home game is a chance to tell a Rebel what they mean to this city. Here’s what’s next, in every sport on the app.

How to write one that lands
Make it specific. Make it sincere.
A compliment a player remembers names something real and says why it matters.
- Step one
Notice something real
Their effort, their teamwork, their courage, the way they treat teammates and fans.
- Step two
Say why it matters
What it means to you, your kids, your family or your town.
- Step three
Keep it about heart
Effort, character and team spirit. Never bodies or looks, and no favors attached.
To a player
“You play every snap like this whole city is watching, and we are. Thank you for representing us.”
To the coaches
“You teach these players to fight for each other. That’s the kind of team Las Vegas loves.”
To the team staff
“Trainers, managers and equipment crews: you make game day happen. We see you.”
From a Rebel family
“My kids wear scarlet and gray every game day because of how you carry yourselves.”
