Sales pitch

Two fans of China Super League soccer club Beijing Guo'an take their pictures with a pot of turf they bought from the Workers' Stadium in Beijing, Guo'an's home ground, on Wednesday. A 20 cm-by-30 cm patch of turf sells for 40 yuan ($6.52). Inspired by European professional soccer clubs, the stadium launched its turf sale online last month to reward the fans for their support.
