Here's the latest cynical plan from a local sports franchise: Pick up drunk people off the streets and take them to go see a soccer game in Kansas City.
At least that's the premise of a new Wizards promotion which I think I'm going to re-purpose in order to entice more chubby white broads into my basement.
A program providing FREE “Legends Express” buses to Kansas City Wizards matches at CommunityAmerica Ballpark for groups of 50 or more. As part of the Wizards Soccer Shuttle program, groups will be picked up from anywhere inside the Kansas City metropolitan and surrounding areas, dropped off at CommunityAmerica Ballpark at the Legends in KCK and then returned to their initial location after the match . . . Alcohol will be permitted, but not included, on the Legends Express vehicles for patrons 21 and older, excluding kegs. Tailgating at the stadium will also be available and encouraged in a special Legends-Express parking section. Participants in the Wizards Soccer Shuttle program will receive commemorative T-shirts as part of the package.Let's get this straight:
Very nice. Are they offering liver transplants as well?
Actually, it sounds like fun or at least something pleasant that might explain a 300lb woman lying in your bed with her underwear on inside out if you can't recall the circumstances on your own.
Again, promising someone a night of drunken excess is probably the only way to lure more people to a soccer stadium in this town that hosts one of the worst attendance rankings in MLS. . . Similarly, staring at a putrid toilet bowl while breaking out in a cold sweat is just as entertaining as waiting to watch a scissor kick for two and a half hours.
So . . . Bravo, soccer fans!!! Join the long list of corporate interests in Kansas City who want to get the people of this town drunk and then take advantage of them.
I'll go but only if I can ride with those two.
ReplyDeleteF*ck you, soccer basher.
ReplyDeleteIt's no secret that soccer fans drink before, during, and after games. Just like football fans, if I recall correctly, so don't try to single out soccer fans for being drunk misfits. At least the team management is trying to help keep some of these drunks OFF THE ROAD after the game. Does Clark Hunt do that?
ReplyDeleteBy the way, it's okay that you don't like soccer...but why the constant bashing? Millions of people worldwide can't be wrong. If you had an attention span longer than a gnat, you might learn to enjoy the beautiful game. I guess you need timeouts to gather your thoughts between plays, don't you.
when bashing something you should understand it first... Its just a "party bus" if you will that that groups of 50 plus can get, purchased before hand. Its not "picking drunk people up of the street". Reguarding attendence the ball park is much smaller than any other place other teams play, it sells out at 10,600.. Take advantage of them? Tickets are cheaper a dinner from Applebee's.. Rant all you want but its clear you simply dont understand what you are ranting about
