FoS Supporters

For those of you who read FoS regularly and would like a way to support the cause, you can now become an FoS Supporter. There are three different membership levels:

  • Mini-Supporters ($25 for one year) get not just the warm glow of knowing that they’re enabling me to keep on reporting daily on stadium and arena news while silencing the voice in my head that says “Shouldn’t you be doing real work?” but also: a one-inch members-only pin (pictured at right), based on the great Scott MX Turner’s moneybags design; a limited-edition set of stadium trading cards; and an electronic copy of my 2016 book The Brooklyn Wars in PDF, ePub, or Kindle format.
  • Six-Month Supporters ($50 for six months) get all the mini-supporter benefits plus the ability to place an ad in the top-right banner space, which will be viewed on a rotating basis with other member ads. Messages can be anything from “I Support Field of Schemes and I Vote” to “Read My Website, It’s Way Better Than This One” or anything else that will fit legibly in a 90×250-pixel space. (You’re welcome to send me your own display ad, or I’ll design one for you if you send the text.) I do retain veto power over needlessly offensive or inaccurate messages, so “Jeffrey Loria Is a Booger Brain” would be ruled out of order. Probably. Unless you could provide citations.
  • One-Year Supporters ($100 for one year) get all of the above, but your ad will be put in place for (wait for it) one year.

Stated in traditional fundraising-drive cups of coffee, even full Supporter status is only one cup of coffee every five days. Or, if you prefer, “Sure, I can give him 50 bucks once, I’ll just let somebody else sign up after my six months are up, and read for free then like always!” Group memberships are welcome, too, if you and some friends want to pool your pocket change and sign up that way.

Either way, your support will be greatly appreciated, since Google Ads and the occasional book sale don’t go very far. (Not that I wouldn’t welcome more book sales — and then you get an actual physical object that’s bigger than a pin! Or a non-physical object if you go for the cheaper electronic edition!)

To join, just choose your preferred option and click the big button below, then type your mailing address into the “message” field. Thanks in advance for your support.
