Goddddddamn, sons.The New Jersey Nets are struggling. They have the league's worst record at 6-53. Because of that, they're last in attendance.
To combat this they've tried a few bizarre promotions over the years. First, they gave away tickets to unemployed workers, and also gave them career advice. Then, if you bought a 10-game ticket plan you got a jersey that featured not just a Net, but also an opposing player.
This Friday, the Nets will unleash another in their long line of minor league-esque promos:
Their latest promotion will be unveiled Friday, when the Nets play the Orlando Magic. New Jersey residents 18 or older who attend the game will get a coupon that they can redeem at a Roni Deutch Tax Center to get their state income tax done free.
No one likes doing their taxes, but is it worth having to go to a Nets game? At just a $29 value, I'm not so sure.
But you have to admire the gumption of Roni Deutch, the eponymous tax attorney offering the promotion. She says, "The hallmark of a strong company is one that aligns with young companies. I'm a betting woman, and I think the Nets are going to win a championship this decade."
Probably not, but she's not the first to make such a proclamation.
Is it really that bad?? Nets management is reaching crackhead levels of desperate, Next thing you know the front office's wives will be turning tricks just to put people in the stands.
, maybe they still got Joumana on retainer as a 'consultant'.
I know. Tax returns? They aren't making people turn up for games with their crappy arena, location, basketball play. They are just trying to save some face for the camera flashing across the empty arena. Next you know you might be getting free coke, popcorn and fries in their last regular season game. Or maybe they will give out the $5 taco bell box.
I'm not suprised Nets aren't filling up the arena, we didn't even sell out during those two years they made the finals in 2002 and 2003.
state but no federal....
i didnt see rim job listed there
How about they play hard and win some games that might work? Just sayin
