Paper wants fans to shave their heads if Spain win!
MADRID
A newspaper claims more than 10,000 people have pledged to shave their heads if Spain wins the European Championship.
The campaign by sports daily Marca shows how Spain has worked itself into a lather of national enthusiasm now that its team has reached the semifinals of a major football tournament for the first time since 1984.
Spain, whose only major title was winning the 1964 European Championship at home, plays Russia today in the Euro 2008 semifinals at Ernst Happel Stadium in Vienna, Austria.
“I, a hardline fan all my life, do hereby solemnly promise, before Marca.com, the country’s fans and the team, to shave every last hair off my Spanish head if the team wins Euro 2008,” reads the pledge on the newspaper’s website.
As of yesterday, the website said more than 10,500 people have signed up.
“The team needs all the support it can get from its fans,” the paper wrote online, alongside doctored photos of bald young men wearing the national side’s red-and-yellow jersey.
If Spain reaches and wins the June 29 final, the newspaper will raffle off 20 cameras as prizes to those who have already sent in pictures of their bald heads.
But what about any cheaters who already had hairless heads like deceased actor Yul Brynner and send in photos to get in on the action?
“We trust in people’s good faith. You have to trust people.” Juanjo Anaut, chief editor of the newspaper’s website said.
