Is anyone else as fed up as I am with the griping by the owners (billionaires) and the players (millionaires)? I find it sickening in this economy that they all have the nerve to constantly talk about lock outs and lawsuits over billions of dollars. This in an economy where people are continuously losing jobs, their houses, and medical coverage. Yet they both expect us the fans to "take" their side. Are they delusional?
I mean do any of them really ask themselves about how the fans have to scrape and claw the money to get to these games? In this economy all sports are showing reduced numbers at stadiums. The NFL is struggling in quite a few markets to fill stadiums. why? the economy. People cannot afford the astronomical prices these owners are charging for admission. And the players want a bigger and bigger piece of the pie.
Well to me, as fans, we should take our own side. We should tell these billionaires and millionaires that we have had enough. We should boycott the games. No one renew season tickets. No one buy any tickets to any game. Think they would finally take notice when they play in front of empty stadiums and all the games are blacked out? Think they will notice when no one will be there to be outrageously charged 10 bucks for a beer and 4.75 for a hot dog? Think they will take notice when all that revenue goes bye bye?
One would hope so.
Fans, I urge you to stand up against these athletes and owners and tell them we won't take it anymore. We need to let it be known that ticket prices need to be reduced and concession prices need to be lowered. Fans stand up and make our voice heard.
