Woman uses dating app to find players for her team and gets banned
Well, at least she tried...
It's very common to find players on Tinder, but not the kind of players that this woman was looking for.
Hoping to recruit a team of kickballers, this woman, nicknamed 'Kickball Cupid', has the internet in awe.
Taking the 'Tinder Swindler' to a new level, this kickball team from Rhode Island, USA, tried to find 25 players for the kickball season.

Gianna Pecchia had a very successful recruiting process. However, Tinder banned Gianna indefinitely for violating their promotion or solicitation rules.
Gianna said: “One day, I went to log in, and it said you’re banned for life. For life! — it seems a little severe. So that put a huge deterrent in my recruiting.”
It is reported that after being banned from Tinder, 'Kickball Cupid' started recruiting potential teammates on Bumble BFF, another online dating and friendship app.

Gianna shared some insight below:
Whether they want to hook up or find a relationship, a lot of them are looking for friends or some form in their life. I was like, not only will I be your friend, I’ll give you a whole league of friends. The way I sell it to people is right there in my profile: I’m looking for you to join my kickball team because they’ll get pissed if I don’t want to date them.
She shared some feedback on the messaging: “I usually get one of two messages from people. 'I’d like to join because I’m looking to make new friends, but I’m not very good at kickball.' And I’m like – perfect. Or, I get ‘I haven’t played kickball since elementary school. Like, who has?”
