I'm not sure this is such a good idea.
I realize that sex offenders are a fast growing demographic in South Africa and I realize that sex offenders are football fans too, but I think the recently announced South African Ridgebacks Sex Offender Night for the game on July 5th against Cape Town is a bad idea.
I realize the Ridgebacks are also a business and that rxsnoop is just trying to figure out ways to increase revenue, but I think it's a bad idea and is in poor taste.
The details, as announced by the Ridgebacks this morning, are as follows:
South African is changing their name to the Barebacks temporarily and will wear alternate Bareback themed uniforms. To see the new South African Barebacks logo, a gay Ridgeback about to expose himself, click the link below:

The first 5,000 sex offenders through the door will receive a Kobe Bryant action figure with removable trench coat (apparently Kobe is a huge Ridgebacks fan). Additionally, Ridgebacks cheerleaders will be dressed as scantily attired prison guards, complete with handcuffs and billy clubs. A halftime presentation will honor the African AAA #2 Lion Conference All Herpes Team.
Kobe Bryant will be in attendance as an honorary captain and will represent South African at the pre-game coin flip. He wanted to express his support for professional athletes being able to have sex anytime they want with whoever they want.
However some groups are not happy with the planned event. The Onion reports that the National Rapists Association, the nation’s largest association of rapists and rape enthusiasts, expressed its displeasure with being linked to the Ridgebacks because of Sex Offender Night.
“Having the name of rape and rapists dragged through the mud by being associated with the South African Ridgebacks is very upsetting,” said Buck Thurber, president of the group. “We have worked too long and hard to have our name sullied by the lowlifes playing on the Ridgebacks. No one wants to be linked to such a disgusting group of thugs, druggies and deviants.”
The National Rapists Association has scheduled protests outside Ridgeback Stadium. The group plans to be in attendance holding signs with the slogans: “Don’t Let the Ridgebacks Debase Rape” and “Registered Sex Offenders: Yes. Ridgebacks: No.”
I personally, am outraged by the promotion and think it is sickening. It's just a bad idea. The Ridgebacks should cancel the promotion.
