Sporn - A New Genre where sport and porn collide ?

I dare say many of you out there really aren't at all interested in sport. But, dare I say it, you are interested in porn.

What would you say though if the world of sport and porn collided ?

For a start, I'm not especially surprised that Eva Henger apparently used to be a handball player. That's a skill easily utilised in the porn world.

The worlds of sport and porn don't tend to collide especially well though, it has to be said. Sport Erotica wasn't exactly packed with what its title may suggest, whilst Football Babes was a good laugh for a while around the time of the World Cup, but is largely irrelevant now. And aside from the occasional uniform fetish site where you may get a snap of a girl doing the old 'tennis player bending over and scratching her butt' pose, there isn't much for you out there in the sport / porn crossover market.

But I think the sponsorship of franchises by elements of the porn industry is certainly something that could work. For instance, surely an Illinois based group of hairy gay pornstars would be perfect sponsors for Chicago Bears? How about the Redskins being sponsored by a spanking site? Meanwhile, there surely would be enormous scope for any number of anal based groups to sponsor the English football team Arsenal.

The only direct connection I can think of between the two industries is the fact that another English football team, Birmingham City, is owned by a former pornography magnate, David Sullivan. He essentially launched the career of iconic British star Mary Millington, but no such sign of his dirtier business ventures have been witnessed in his sports franchise. Some fans of that team though might want to suggest, particularly after their dismal performances of the last couple of seasons, that there might not be any tits on the front of the shirts but there sure as hell are some playing in them.

I'm pretty convinced there is a big market for such a crossover though should anyone want to take the initiative. And let's face it, looking at the face of Eva Henger on the front of a volleyball team's jerseys is a hell of a lot more interesting than the sport itself.

Oh, and by the way, I'm copyrighting the word 'sporn' as my own. HANDS OFF.
