New Jersey Nets Help Out The Unemployed
By Ben Chinn
A lot of people use sports as an escape during stressful times. Right now is no exception. The NFL is in full swing and the NBA season has just started. It’s nice to have a little distraction but can these teams do more to help people out? The New Jersey Nets think they can.
Nets team president and chief executive Brett Yormark announced Tuesday that unemployed people in New Jersey would be able to receive free basketball tickets. The catch? You have to submit your resume to the Nets Job Bank. The Nets will then send your resume to their official sponsors and season ticket holders’ businesses. Not only will a person get up to 4 free tickets to a game, but he or she will also get free admittance to a job fair that the Nets are holding on November 22.
Yormark had this to say, “Hopefully they’ll come out and experience the Nets, and then when times get better they’ll invest in us, because we invested in them,” Yormark said, according to the Star-Ledger. “No other team is doing that, and I think it’s the appropriate thing to do, because times are tough.”
It’s great to see a sports team trying to help out their fans in a time of need. Hopefully it will become contagious and many more teams will start to offer something like this.
