Soccer and free beer

Despite the presence of Romario last season and despite having World Cup champion Zinho on their roster this year, Miami FC have averaged just 626 fans per match in a league where the average attendance is 4,125. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
During their upcoming games on Thursday and Saturday Miami FC will be handing out free beer to those of legal drinking age. As if this brilliant idea weren’t brilliant enough, before the Saturday game fans will have the opportunity to donate blood. Fans who donate blood will get a free ticket to a game with free beer where they can get freely wasted after about two sips.
The caveat with all this is that the free beer will be around until supplies run out.
