“Where do I start?? I am 22 years old and have always been a diehard Carolina Tar Heels fan. I have been with them through the good times and the bad. But they are getting to be more than I can handle. Roy Williams is not treating the fans how they should be treated. I am sick of him. So I am looking for a new team to pull for. You are bidding on my loyalty to your team. I will be buying new shirts and items to support my new team with the money from the winning bid. You are not buying me but my support for your team. The starting bid is $250.00, good luck and Happy Bidding!!”
Loyalty comment: It’s a novel way to try and make some money, but it will be interesting to see if other teams are willing to pay for the support of someone whose ‘loyalty’ can be bought if the price is right. We’ll keep you informed if there are any takers!
