Communications Coordinator - New York Red Bulls (Secaucus, NJ)

Yes Tom. The Red Bull group owns two soccer clubs, Red Bull New York and Red Bull Salzburg and a Formula One racing team.

 

but red bull is an energy drink.

 

Correct. One that's been so successful, it's owners have so much money they can pump it into soccer clubs and racing teams.

 

successful enough to fund pro soccer? that's crazy talk.

 

I think Tom was being a little sarcastic.

 

Ya think?

 

and i actually think GB was pitching watermelons, myself.

 

I just got an e-mail from NYRB that says they've decided not to fill the position.

 

Yeah, got the same thing.

 

And from the Department Of Things American Sports Fans Really Watch, Red Bull owns a two-car NASCAR operation.

 

NASCAR fans vs. soccer fans? Yeah that should be an interesting discussion. Both are niche sports with rabid fans. Both probably think the other sport is a boring waste of time. Three hours of turning left vs. a two-hour kickball game. Rednecks vs. fuzzy foreigners. People with two first names (billy joe, billy bob) vs. people with unpronounceable names. Guys in shorts vs. guys in jean shorts.

I could go on and on. But I won't.

 

I watch both. I wear kappa shorts with a jean jacket.
