Pitch the Rhino

WHY PITCH TO THE RHINO?

“What do you do to an elephant with three balls? WALK HIM AND PITCH TO THE RHINO!” – Anonymous

Sometimes a name can showcase more than just the last four words in a famous joke.  When Jarret Streiner started listing names, it took a while for all three of us to come up with one we felt would best showcase what it is we will be doing on this website.

Then, it happened.  Jarret innocuously included the words “Pitch To the Rhino” in an email with about 20 other names.  The second Toby heard it, he knew it was THE name.  When Jose heard it, he admitted he had never heard the joke; however, he instantly came up with the perfect tagline – “Where Social Media and Sports Collide.”

To the three of us, Pitch To the Rhino means the following:

• The name shows that while Rhinos are tough-minded, we have a sense of humor and plan to incorporate both toughness and humor into what we do here.
• A name with a sports metaphor that many people have already heard, and that we were quite happy was available when we purchased the domain.
• A name that all of the sections of our site could be branded, to help make the experience fun for our readers as well as Team Rhino.
• A place where sports fans can pitch their own ideas and have them published, as Team Rhino accepts freelance submissions related to the concept of our side.
