Fellow hardcore fans, are you suffering from Sportism?

[Nakor]

Aside from being a new marketing campaign by The Score (a Canadian sports channel—at least, I don't think it has American coverage?), Sportism is a form of discrimination against hardcore fans and their many incarnations. It fights against no jersey dress codes, the unfair sophistication of sports bars, and the physical abuse of streakers. Funding of Stop Sportism also receives less funding than Save the Whales, Keep the Peace, and Bring Back the Moustache.

Never heard of The Score before!. Interesting cause though!

Not familiar with The Score here either...

Pretty sure hardcore fans of hibernation aren't aware they suffer from sportism...

or anything else for that matter....

Yeah, I kind of figured it was Canadian only. Actually, it's far from the best sports network (SportsNet > CBC > TSN > The Score IMO, with the middle two debatable), but I found this particular campaign amusing.

Painting your entire body your football team's colors and dancing around in just your shorts like an idiot, even though it's snowing outside: fine. Naming your kids after your favorite sports players: fine. Dying your dog blue to show how big of a Giants fan you are: assuming it's not hurting the dog any and you can wash the dye out later, fine.



Streaking, and therefore forcing everyone to look at your arse for however long it takes them before they can avert their eyes: not cool.
