From "Lambert Field" to Michigan's "Buckeyes," Football Fans for Truth Takes Aim at Kerry's Football Fumbles

(Arlington, VA) -- September 16, 2004 . A new organization has been created to help the American voter and sports fan determine whether John Kerry can be trusted to represent the nation both as President and sports-fan-in-chief. Football Fans for Truth, a 527 organization, will seek to raise awareness about John Kerry's eminent failures in the area of sports knowledge, especially as it relates to America's favorite sport: football.

Football Fans for Truth believes the evidence it has collected is compelling. Last month, John Kerry lauded "Lambert Field" during a visit to Wisconsin. It is unknown what Kerry thinks of Lambeau Field, the historic home of the Green Bay Packers. John Kerry also praised the Ohio State Buckeyes football team, during a visit to Michigan.




Kerry's lack of knowledge extends far beyond the sport of football. ESPN's Peter Gammons reported that John Kerry told a radio interviewer that his favorite Red Sox player was Eddie Yost. Yost never played for the Red Sox. Gammons also reported that John Kerry lauded "Manny Ortez," an amalgamation of Red Sox first baseman and designated hitter David Ortiz and left fielder Manny Ramirez. When Kerry threw the first pitch at a Red Sox-Yankees game, he did not throw from the pitcher's mound -- yet still bounced the ball before it reached home plate. He then blamed his namby-pamby throw on the catcher, a National Guard soldier and Iraq war veteran: "I held back," Kerry told reporters. "He was very nervous. I tried to lob it gently."

"John Kerry is a menace to sports fans everywhere," said Football Fans for Truth Chairman Dino Panagopoulos. "Can we take four years of this? I don't think so."

"I shudder to think of this man throwing out first pitches for four years," said Football Fans for Truth Director Jeff Larroca. "It is the mission of Football Fans for Truth to make the American public aware of the terrible dangers posed by Kerry to the sports world. He is not fit to be our sports-fan-in-chief."

Football Fans for Truth is already moving forward with its public education campaign. The organization has ordered a billboard near "Lambert Field" to educate Wisconsin football fans of the threat of a Kerry administration. It will stand through the election.

With additional public support from concerned sports fans, Football Fans for Truth plans to undertake other initiatives throughout the country.

"This is too important an issue for us to just sit on the sidelines," said Panagopoulos. "After watching one to many Kerry sports gaffes, we realized that we needed to get in the game. I mean, this is a person who probably prefers Astro-Turf to real grass."

Individuals can donate to Football Fans for Truth by sending a personal check for any amount in order to educating the American football public. The non tax-deductible check should be made out to "Football Fans for Truth."
