NBA Team's Game Day Promo: Historic 'Wash Post' Obama Election Edition


Hmm, collectible Obama swag or fuzzy dice? Decisions, decisions.

CHICAGO A week before his inauguration, Barack Obama continues to show his ability to move newspapers. The latest example comes from the Washington Wizards NBA basketball team.

To lure fans to Friday's game against the New York Knicks, the Wizards are giving away to every fan in attendance a copy of The Washington Post's Nov. 5, 2008 Obama election victory newspaper.

The newspapers will be distributed at the end of the game, according to the team's Web promo. This will apparently be a two-fer for fans of the struggling Wizards, who have managed to win just five of their 19 games on their home court. The team's Web site also promises fuzzy dice from the Chipolte Mexican fast food chain.
