Alabama Steeldogs News Release
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - The Birmingham Steeldogs are not out to ban figure skating.
In response to news reports linking the team with the proprietor of an anti-skating Web site, Banfigureskating.com, Steeldogs' Managing Partner Scott Myers was very surprised to learn that the Steeldogs were promoted on the site.
"The Birmingham Steeldogs are in no way opposed to figure skating," Myers said. "In fact, I have really enjoyed watching the âSkating With Celebrities' television program that airs before â24' on Fox 6."
The Web site, operated by a gentleman named Larry Pamper, encourages people to abandon the "pseudo sport" of figure skating and support more "wholesome" activities, such as Steeldogs football.
"We are in full agreement, however, that the Steeldogs are a great family entertainment value," Myers added. "We believe that all sports fans, regardless of what their favorite sport is, should come out and enjoy arena football this season."
The team kicks off their seventh season on April 8 at 7 p.m. at the BJCC Arena versus the Everett Hawks. Season tickets are still available and can be purchased by calling 205.458.8833!
