Laughing at Losing

While a lot of major league teams sit and make war analogies about games and such, things are much different in the minor leagues (or in minor sports).  They tend to just want to be entertaining, and when they lose, they’re much more likely to have a sense of humor about it.

From the Boston Globe via Ben Maller:

Not exactly flushed with pride

As promotions go, you’ve got to hand it to the Grand Rapids Rampage of the Arena Football League. After going 1-15 last season, they sent out season-ticket renewals with a bonus gift: a roll of toilet paper with “1-15” printed on each sheet. The roll came wrapped in a message that said, “It’s time to put last season behind us.” The promotion was the brainchild of the team’s ad agency, Justice & Monroe.

Love it.
