what to do with this athlete's domain... - GoFuckYourself.com

BVF · 01-30-2003, 04:01 PM

I bought the domain of a certain athlete who will be coming out of high school next year and will be the next mega-superathlete of our time...In fact, it has been predicted that he will eclipse the other almighty athlete in this sport who is hands down known as the best player in this particular sport and is a living legend.

And it ain't the .com,net,org, domain.....And ALL of the extensions have since been purchased...In my opinion, I have the 5th most valuable extension...I'm thinking of a good way to use it without getting my ass sued...

I bought the domain on a whim almost a year ago and this was before the Big sports magazine covers and the constant mentioning on ESPN....

I'm thinking of what to do with this domain right now....

1. Do nothing
2. Sell it
3. forward the domain to a porn sponsor
4. give it up to whatever sports management company sends me a letter...

Now I really don't want to get sued...but I don't want to be seen to be directly making money from the domain...so I'm thinking about packing the thing with keywords and then using a casino, penis, viagra, etc...sponsor...Just as long as it isn't anything adult related, I'll be ok..And since this person is still in high school, he isn't technically a "professional" yet...So when I bought the domain, he was still a Junior...

Doesn't it make sense to make it a simple amateurish "fan" site and just slap a few non-adult banners up there? I don't think anybody would be too pissed as long as I'm posting stats and I'm not selling anything that is directly related to this athlete..

And also, what do you think that I could advertise that would make some decent cheese but wouldn't piss anybody off?

Contact all the sports management companies now. They might be interested in this something like this for possible business. To go to him and say that they have secured those names could be a big deal in a bidder war to represent him.

Get sued for thousands over a an unimportant extension that would never make you any money.

Just hold on to it for now. Don't let anyone know you've got it. Who knows what it may or may not be worth in the future. If you don't have one of the big three extensions, it isn't worth any more than you paid for it at the moment. If he ends up with even half of the star potential that is forecasted, it might eventually be worth more than you paid for it...in ten years or so. Now, if someone from his PR team shows up with a wheel barrow full of cash...go for it.

Seriously.. hold onto it. You do need to put up some sort of fan site so you can't be accused of cybersquatting tho.

Just reread the post and noticed its not a .com .net or .org name. In that case I'd just try to get rid of it in the way flip suggested.

Buying up domains that are someone else's name is utter bullshit.
