The football jersey that New York Sharks owner Andra Douglas loaned to the Sports Museum of America has been located. It is being stored in a warehouse in Newark, New Jersey. But like the pirates of Somalia it is being held for ransom along with hundreds of other sports items that were loaned to the museum before it declared bankruptcy. The items include Brandi Chastain's sports bra she wore in the Summer Olympics, Tony Hawk's childhood skateboard, Richard Petty's sunglasses and Jesse Owen's gold medal.
An article in the Wall Street Journal, titled "My Sports Bra Is Where, Exactly?" said that soccer star Brandi Chastain received an email while in the Bahamas. The email demanded that she pay $250 plus shipping and handling if she wanted her famous sports bra back.
Now why are they demanding $1,500 from Andra and only $250 from Brandi seems kind of strange. Did that extra amount include the shipping and handling?
Another article appeared in the Star-Ledger.
Maybe we need to send in the Navy Seals to stop these pirates.
