Balls for Bums Drops Holland
The non profit organization Balls for Bums that provides basketballs to the homeless dropped Barracuda center Sam Holland as their spokesman. Holland had only been the spokesman for a little over a two months bringing awareness and donations to a cause that is close to his heart. “We work closely with Hoops for the Homeless to give to those who can't 'ball a half court experience,” Holland said when he was introduced as the spokesman.
No reason was given, but the announcement was made just two days after Holland's dismal performance against Blouses where he went 0 for 4 from the field. Part of the sponsorship agreement called for AFP Basketball to donate $100 for every point Holland scores. When asked if the two were related, Balls for Bums Executive Director Richard Johnson said, “You’re kidding, right? Look, we were proud to have him as our spokesman, but we’re not anymore.”
When approached at the AFP Basketball training facility, Holland would not comment directly, but he muttered something that rhymes with “masterds.”
