YANKEE JUMPER OFFERED SCHOLARSHIP FROM NINE.COM
Nine.com executives hope to educate and help 18-year-old avoid foolish gambles in future August 10, 2005, San Jose, Costa Rica
Eighteen-year-old Scott Harper of Armonk, N.Y. made an irresponsible gamble at Yankee Stadium recently when he jumped 40 feet from his seat into a large net to test if the net would hold his weight. The final outcome resulted to Scott being carried out the ballpark on a stretcher to the hospital.
Harper's foolish gamble persuaded executives from Nine.com to educate him so he will know how to distinguish the difference between a smart and senseless bet in the future.
"This kid isn't the brightest, but he's certainly got a sense of adventure," said Nine.com spokesperson Jack Abrams. "We'd like to see him channel that sense of adventure into something positive; education is the key."
Upon watching Scott Harper's leap to near death, Nine.com felt compelled to offer the 18-year-old a college scholarship worth up to $5,000 as well as a non-gambling membership to the Nine.com site. Nine.com provides members with gambling, sports, entertainment and lifestyle information.
