Major League Baseball have signed a unique partnership with dating site, cialis Match.com.

The online dating service announced Thursday it is launching 29 fan pages – one for every U.S. team – under a promotion with MLB that allows the website’s users to connect with singles who are fans of particular clubs. 

Match.com President Amarnath Thombre said the first question self-identified New York Yankees fans often ask of singles on the site is: “Who hates the Red Sox?” 

Noah Garden, Major League Baseball Advanced Media’s executive vice president of revenue, said “the Match.com conversation is one we’ve had on and off over the years to see if there’s something we could do together.” 

MLB hopes the pages spur ticket sales. 

“The idea is put like people together with similar interest and passion,” he said. “There’s still always room for more butts in the seats.”

K1 Speed colors will debut on the team cars, driven by Landon Cassill and Jeffrey Earnhardt, in Saturday’s TreatMyClot.com 300 at Auto Club Speedway in the fifth race of the Nationwide season. K1 also will be a team partner for the Nationwide race at Texas April 4.

Saturday’s race will mark K1’s first association with a national-series NASCAR team.

“We’re proud to have K1 come on board with us this week and at Texas,” said Johnny Davis, owner of JD Motorsports with Gary Keller. “A lot of NASCAR fans really enjoy riding and racing go-karts, so it’s a natural fit for them and for us. We’re looking forward to going racing with the K1 folks.”

JD Motorsports also sealed Shakey’s Pizza Parlor, one of the country’s most popular pizza restaurants, as a sponsor for Gary Keller and driver Jeffrey Earnhardt for Saturday’s Nationwide Series race at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif.

Shakey’s will be prominently displayed on the team’s No. 4 Chevrolet for the TreatMyClot.com 300, the fifth race of the Nationwide season.

Shakey’s, based in Alhambra near Los Angeles, has 60 locations, most in southern California. Shakey’s also has restaurants in Washington, Hawaii and Alabama.

The restaurant, which is celebrating its 60th anniversary, is sponsoring a NASCAR team for the first time.

“Shakey’s is thrilled to sponsor Jeffrey Earnhardt’s NASCAR team this weekend,” said Nick Mayer, the president and CEO of Shakey’s USA. “We could not envision a more perfect partnership than pizza and racing. Like NASCAR, Shakey’s has been providing great family fun for over 60 years.” 

Earnhardt, grandson of the late NASCAR superstar Dale Earnhardt Sr., is in his first full season racing in the Nationwide Series.

“It’s great to have the folks from Shakey’s Pizza riding along with us this weekend,” Earnhardt said. “Pizza and beer are two of NASCAR fans’ favorite things, so I know there’ll be a rush on their restaurants around the track this weekend. We hope we can make that pizza the fastest it’s ever been.”

Practice is scheduled at Auto Club Speedway Friday, with qualifying and the race set for Saturday.

Motorsport governing body FIA have announced the appointment of two new suppliers for their Rallycross Championships.

The appointments follow a tendering process begun in June of 2013 and which centred on selection criteria aimed at reducing the cost of racing, ensuring sporting equity and safety, and guaranteeing the best possible product.

Cooper Tire Europe, through its Avon Tyres Motorsport division, has been designated as Single Tyre Supplier to both the FIA European and World Rallycross Championships. The agreement extends the company’s traditional relationship with the European Championship – to which it supplied tyres in 2013 to numerous competitors – but also includes the new World Rallycross Championship, which begins on May 3 in Portugal.

Avon Tyres Motorsport has also been added as a supplier. As a control tyre supplier, the company currently provides products to the British F3 and GT Championships, as well as the Dutch GT4 and Swedish GT series in Europe, the IMSA Prototype Lites, Pro-Mazda, Indy Lights and USF2000 series in the US, the Australian Formula Ford Championship and Abu Dhabi’s Gulf 12Hr event.

Major League Soccer (MLS) franchise Chicago Fire have announced Giordano’s Famous Stuffed Pizza as the new exclusive and official pizza of the Fire. 

Through the partnership, both Giordano’s and the Fire aim to expand awareness of their brands and fully assume their roles as leaders in their respective categories, with the shared goal of making an impact on the city and owning the soccer conversation in Chicago.

“Giordano’s and the Chicago Fire are united by a commitment to hospitality,” said Giordano’s CEO Yorgo Koutsogiorgas. “We both enjoy creating a vibrant energy and environment and serving people of all ages. From families and young adults to lifelong soccer fans, Giordano’s and the Chicago Fire look forward to bringing customers back for more, week after week, all year round.”

“Chicago is known for its deep-dish pizza and sports, so it makes perfect sense for Giordano’s and the Fire to partner up,” said Chicago Fire Chief Operating Officer Atul Khosla. “We couldn’t be more excited and are looking forward to working together to deliver an exciting and authentic soccer experience for our fans.”

To jumpstart the partnership, Giordano’s and the Fire are delivering pizzas today to Chicago Fire Department firefighters across downtown Chicago as a small token of appreciation for the city’s first responders and their brave work and sacrifice to keep the community safe. Sparky, the Fire’s Dalmatian mascot, will lead the effort.

Additionally, Giordano’s announced that restaurant locations across the city will run a promotion: Any person who orders a pizza at participating Giordano’s restaurants between March 19 and 22 will be entered to win a Giordano’s- and Fire-branded soccer ball and two tickets to the season opener.

Another focal point of the partnership is that Giordano’s will be the presenting sponsor of an upcoming locally broadcast, regular season Fire home game. The agreement includes brand visibility on printed and digital platforms, recognition in Fire commercial spots leading up to the game, logo projection on the video board clock-wrap for the entire match, sponsorship of the halftime t-shirt toss, and pre-game ceremony participation. Giordano’s also will deliver pizza to a lucky row in the stadium that day.

Per the terms of the partnership, the Chicago Fire will advertise Giordano’s in many ways – on LED screens, in social media, on the Club’s website, in printed collateral and distributed coupon books, in agreed-upon promotions, and through visibility during FireFest.

Additionally, Giordano’s will be a supporting sponsor of the Chicago Fire Rec Soccer League, receiving branding on select league collateral, the right to distribute coupon offerings to league participants, and field branding at the Chicago Fire Soccer Center, the Club’s new practice and training facility set to open in Roscoe Village this summer.

The Australian Football League (AFL) have announced a new partnership with Mars Chocolate, herbal one of Australia’s leading consumer brand companies.

The partnership sees Mars enhance its longstanding involvement with Australian Football, taking over as the AFL’s official confectionery partner for the next three years.

As the company behind many of Australia’s most enduring brands, Mars has been supporting AFL clubs and players for almost two decades, most recently as the joint major sponsor of the Carlton Football Club.

AFL Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Demetriou, said the AFL was delighted to be partnering with a company that has enjoyed a long and successful association with Australian Football.

“Mars has been a proud supporter of the AFL for many years – particularly through our clubs and players – so we’re pleased to be able to elevate that relationship to a national scale,” Mr Demetriou said.

”Through Mars’ ongoing sponsorship of the Carlton Football Club we’ve seen a high level of support for the game as well as some of the most innovative marketing campaigns in Australian sport.

“This new agreement takes our association to an unprecedented level across the entire industry and we’re extremely excited to see where this partnership goes over the next few years.”

Mars Chocolate General Manager Michael Ryan said: “Mars has been making chocolate in Australia for over 30 years and during most of that time we have enjoyed an association with footy clubs and players. One of the most memorable partnerships was in 1997 when we announced the launch of blue M&M’s, where in a first for an AFL club, Carlton changed from their traditional navy blue to a royal blue jumper for one home and one away game.

“Our partnership with the AFL will allow us to showcase some great initiatives on a national stage and that’s something were very excited about.”
