Fort Lauderdale Strikers News Release
MIAMI-August 5, 2009-- The Miami FC team has put their heads on the line this season, launching a challenge to fans that will ultimately leave the entire team bald.
In a bid to show fans their passion for the game, the players of Miami FC, along with Head Coach Zinho and President, Aaron Davidson, have agreed to shave their heads bald for the September 19th game that will be held at Lockhart Stadium at 8pm vs. the Puerto Rico Islanders. In a challenge to unite South Florida around soccer and prove to the world that South Florida really wants and supports soccer, the team has agreed to go bald to fill seats.
To launch the challenge, Miami FC has joined forces with Fire Advertainment to let fans in on the team's progress.
For every 500 tickets Miami FC sells for the September 19th game, one of the players, renowned Coach Zinho, or team President, Aaron Davidson, will shave his head bald. Fans will soon be able to send their comments and suggestions to the team regarding which player or staff members' scalp they would like to see. All these messages will decide the order in which heads will be shaved.
"I am willing to shave off one of my most prized possessions - my hair - in return for a stadium filled with Miami FC fans," stated Aaron Davidson, President of the team, as he pointed to his abundant, salt and pepper locks.
The balding Blues are giving their fans and prospective fans a taste of what's to come through entertaining footage that can be seen on Miamifc.com and Miami FC's official Facebook (www.facebook.com/pages/MIAMI-FC-CHALLENGE/112330138143), You Tube (www.youtube.com/miamifc) and Twitter (http://twitter.com/MiamiFC).
