    Many fans look at sports primarily as an entertainment outlet; however, they are more than that. Sports are a staple of our culture that can create camaraderie within a city. They're a platform to raise awareness for social issues. They're a means to observe the peak of human physical ability. Sports are not staged or fake, but they're completely unpredictable. Sports are also a showcase of characteristics that are innate within all people—competitiveness, communication, intelligence, emotion, organization, etc. These intangible assets have nothing to do with the numbers in a stat column. They hold significance at a human level, therefore making sports a universal medium for humanity across the globe.Our goal with Abstract Sports is to curate content that brings out the amazing reality that is sports. We want to talk about the things to which everyone can relate—those universal qualities. Each category tackles these types of topics from abstract, yet popular angles rooted within sports. Have a click through our categories below for a quick glimpse into our inspiration for each category and why we think they're important.If you're interested in getting involved with Abstract Sports as a contributor, advertiser or sponsor, please get in touch.

  Post Register

  • Ad Trafficker

    • Jun 2014 - Sep 2014
    • Idaho Falls, Idaho

    The ad designs are outsourced to Pune, India, and I acted as a liaison between the artists in Pune and the ad reps here at the Post Register. My job was to monitor those ads from beginning stages of the ad rep submitting materials (copy and images) to the final stages of emailing a proof of the completed output provided by the artists and designers in Pune. It was my sole responsibility to make sure that all ads are approved and cleared for the next day's paper before the day is out. I also sold birthday and anniversary ads on top of those responsibilities.
