March 30, 200620 yr Phillies DVD Surprise COLUMBUS, NJ-March 29, 2006 - A Phillies season ticket holder got a real surprise when he opened a promotional item from the team: Cockfighting on DVD. A fan from Columbus, New Jersey had yet to renew his Phillies season tickets. In the mail, he received a promotional DVD that was intended to get fans excited about the new season. But instead of commentary from Ryan Howard and Chase Utley, it was an extended video of c**k-fighting in Spanish. When the man from Burlington County called the Phillies, the team said they only had two complaints out of the 4,000 videos that were sent out. The team says it feels bad about the mix-up and is working with the vendor so something like this doesn't happen again. There have been no reported complaints from cockfighting fans who have been sent Phillies highlights by mistake. WTF??? :lol :lol :lol :lol
March 31, 200620 yr LMAO.. I just saw that on our local news. The sports announcer said "I hope they don't think Cockfighting is America's past time." I can't imagine what Phillie fans must have thought when they got that in the mail. :rofl
March 31, 200620 yr That video was certainly more exciting than a Phillies game, so it was win-win for the team and fans!!!!
