If you have a negative sterotype placed on you, it is that much more difficult to sell people on the game.<BR/><BR/>I'll give you an example. Try converting a former CIS football player to the game. If they are exposed to rec ultimate in their first few experiences, there is little chance you'll retain them. <BR/><BR/>Olympic wise, we shouldn't be exposing the game until it's ready to be seen. Further, some people/groups are better are selling the game at others, and we need a composite/coordinated strategy to help the game become more legitimate.Sport Management Stevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06502939398470187208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655616031898608837.post-6935174459727283742007-11-16T13:21:00.000-08:002007-11-16T13:21:00.000-08:00I agree Ultimate has a long way to go before becom...I agree Ultimate has a long way to go before becoming an Olympic Sport. However, I don't think it's too bad of an idea to vote. Yes, Petro Can is using that whole event as a marketing scheme, but it's never a bad thing for Ultimate to get a little more publicity. More publicity leads to more involvement to make the sport better, no?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
