Via Stensation, who is bidding for RandBall Story Pitch Contributor of the Year, comes this PR pitch from a new web site: A new website has been launched that gives unhappy sports fans the forum and opportunity to vent, argue and ultimately divorce their favorite professional sports team or player.
We know what you're thinking. Isn't that Access Vikings? But no! Read on ...
The site, DivorceMyTeam.com offers irritated fans two choices. They can either vent about teams in an area called
"the Arena" or they can choose to file for divorce in the Divorce Court.
It's like boiling all the venom of an entire book into convenient web site form. But wait, there's more:
When choosing to divorce a team, the disgruntled fan selects one or more reasons to sever emotional ties and may opt to
write a personal message to the team owner. Those who are truly serious about having their voice heard can elect to have their divorce document mailed directly to the teams owner along with a personal message. An animated court scene plays out depicting the court process. Fans are represented by skilled divorce lawyer, Slick Johnnie. All cases are heard by feisty Judge Julie. Once the divorce is granted, a summary is displayed in "the Arena" for all to view and comment on.
So we ask: Which local (or non-local) team would you like to divorce, and just how far would you go in these on-line proceedings to have your voice heard? (Note there is a small fee, apparently, for sending a personal message to a team's owner).
