FOX Sports is apparently in desperate need of fan support during this weekend's NFL Sunday pregame show outside the Los Angeles Coliseum.
Apparently, in true Hollywood fashion, the network issued a casting call seeking actors to portray Rams fans during Sunday's broadcast.
Here's what the official post included:
Casting directors are now casting actors, models, and talent to work on Sunday, December 10th in Los Angeles, California.
Producers are seeking the following types:
- We're looking for LA's biggest NFL fans to be a part of #NFLSunday's Los Angeles Rams vs. Philadelphia Eagles Pre Game Show!
Calling all LA Rams fans!To audition for a role in the upcoming NFL Sunday pre-game show, check out the casting call breakdown below.
Wow.
Where to start? Let's first acknowledge that the Rams are a very good football team sitting atop the NFC West division standings with a one-game lead over the Seattle Seahawks. Sunday's game will have huge playoff implications as Los Angeles hosts the Philadelphia Eagles, who at 10-2, sit atop the NFC East.
Yet the team has struggled so mightily in terms of fan support that FOX needed to hold a casting call for actors to show up in Rams paraphernalia.
That's just pathetic, man.
