NEW YORK (AP) NEW York Mets fans struggling with their team's lousy season now have somewhere to cope besides sports talk radio.
An online mental health marketplace is giving free, confidential therapy sessions to Flushing faithful who fill out a form asking for their most difficult moments as fans.
New York-based UMA Health made the offer this week after Tuesday's 25-4 loss to the Washington Nationals, the worst loss in Mets history.
UMA says the lighthearted promotion is meant to bring attention to the important role of therapy. The company says it wants to eliminate the stigma of going to a therapist.

(2,678 posts)At least until an owner comes in and puts performance over profits. I really cannot stomach the Angelos family. Theyve ruined baseball in Baltimore! At least theres hope in KC & NY for, eventual, winning. I have no such hope for the wOes! 😢😩🤮
I thought that was a bit extreme!
But I guess the motive (eliminating stigma to seeking mental health counseling) was good.
