Lame Sport Promotion: Pony Tail Night

I'm pretty sure the Vancouver Whitecaps need to fire their promotions director. They just don't get it:

The Whitecaps are offering a free ticket to the first 500 girls accompanied by a paying adult wearing a ponytail for their game on Friday against the Seattle Sounders Saints.

"The ponytail is symbolic of women in sport, combining femininity and athletics," said Bob Lenarduzzi, the Whitecaps director of soccer operations. "We have a number of players on our team that wear ponytails on the pitch."

How totally lame. Deadspin finds the gems of Minor League Baseball this week for a quick comparisson of fun promotions. They include: Napoleon Dynamite Night with Efren Ramirez, Superhero Saturday, College Course Giveaway, and my favorite Britney Spears Baby Safety Night. The key being fun Whitecaps.
