Don't know if anyone else saw Sportscenter this morning, but they had a segment on marketing caskets, urns, and other burial items to sports fans so that they can be with their favorite team for all of eternity (it was both sad and disturbing, by the way). The piece began by examining the birth of the trend in Europe where fans of football (read: soccer) clubs were buying in. Then it moved to America, specifically with baseball teams. It also mentioned that the trend has extended all the way down to the high school football level at one Massillon Washington high school. Wow.
