I don't know where they get sports from :p Cool find, I've love to see the reasoning behind the facebook ads they give... there was a brief period where I got slammed with gay male dating site ads on fb, I think that they noticed a dry spell in my relationship history and thought if I should try playing the other side of the field...
hah
