Heard this story on the radio during the commute today. Apparently the NBA's New Jersey Nets are to begin a promotion aimed at helping their fans find employment. Basically, they will hand out 1,500 game tickets free to unemployed fans if the fans submit their resumes (CVs) to the organization. The club, subsequently, then plans to distribute the resumes amongst their corporate sponsorship partners and owner organizations. In the current economic situation and the hardships facing many families, this is an outstanding move of sheer brilliance on the part of the Nets and one that surely could be duplicated by all teams of all sports around the world. I'm not particularly a big NBA fan and certainly not a Nets fan, but this has to be called out as a rare example of a professional sports franchise truly returning something to it's fanbase.
Without a doubt worthy of a Golden Tractor nominee.
