It shouldn't be of any new knowledge that before every major sports competition there are always two different sets of merchandise made. For example, before Sunday's Superbowl between the Packers and the Steelers, hundreds of thousands of items declaring both teams as the winners were made (i.e. the Packers won but pictured above is the merchandise that would have been released had the Steelers won). Well, I've always wondered what they did with all of it and it turns out the losing teams merchandise is given to World Vision a charity that sponsors children from impoverished countries around the world! At least this is that the AFC (American Football Conference) does with the unused merchandise...hopefully other sports leagues do something similar, it would be horrible for those things to go to waste!
So, even though your team may have lost someone somewhere won big!
SIDENOTE: I was so happy to hear this just because I used to sponsor a kid through World Vision and now I know it wasn't a scam!
