I think unless what you're selling is good for your sport/profession/whatever, then selling something is intrinsicly "selling your soul". Nobody actually believes the guy on the tv screen.

it seems that you and maybe 2 other people are the only ones who care so forget about it and stop posting on this thread unless you have somthing positive to say instead of harassing me about my spelling, please.

Hahaha okay man, you win. I was just trying to help you out. I'm sure you'll become a big footbag star someday!

But seriously, why the stubbornness? Just go change it real quick lol. I'm not trying to dis you really, but I haven't read one thing you've had to say in this thread. The reason is because I don't take someone seriously if they don't present themselves 'professionally' ie. at least try to portray an image to be taken seriously.

That's like me walking into a big room full of people that are experts in the field that I'm trying to excel in, and get MONEY for, and having my zipper down. Then, as I'm talking in a group of some of the people, one of them says 'Hey man, your zipper's down!' And then instead of just zipping it up real quick, I go 'Who CARES if my zipper's down! No one that pays me money is going to care because I'll have someone check that for me when the time s right! Leave me and my zipper alone! If that's all that you care about, then I don't need you talking to me!'

In other words your stubbornness to just go and fix something that may make you look slightly more serious about what you're talking about makes me take you far less seriously. It's a lesson in life really. Learn not to be so stubborn, and take people's advice on stuff.

Oh and by the way, I currently SPONSOR players in this sport. And I could be one of your potential sponsors one day. Just thought I'd let you know that. ;)

I think the point he is trying to make is that his spelling is not the topic being discussed here (or at least this wasn't his intent). I'm sure he knows that his spelling isn't perfect, but there is no need to be anal about it.

Yes. Your point is that stubborness is never a good thing. So why be so stubborn and keep insisting that he changes the topic title.

Anyway.. back on track here people.

Any updates on the situation Zach?

No, I guess you missed my point. You should always try to make a good impression because you never know how important people will be later on in life. Good try though.

I didn't even bother to reply to this thread because of the large spelling error in the subject line.

It's also why I don't reply to job offers with glaring spelling mistakes in them or do not call job-applicants whose resumés are filled with them. I don't personally know the author of this thread and have nothing against him but should any sponsor or professional see something like this he'd laugh and trash the application.
