What concerns me is the people who know it's wrong by compromising with supporting these spoiled brats.
If I have extra money... I'd rather tip my mechanic, local grocery worker, etc.
These are usually hard working, unrecognized people that give back to others.
I find it more rewarding than sitting in a $100 seat, eating a $10 hot dog and drinking a $10 beer or soda while watching millionaires demean our Flag and our people who have worn its colors!

And don't forget the price for parking

Remember when O’Malley wouldn’t come to LA until the city eminently domained Chavez Ravine and moved a community out so the city could build a gladiators arena for the Dodgers. The rest of the gladiators learned that with a little Capone like extortion they too could have brand new arenas built for their gladiatorial contests. Salvete Caesar. Nos morituri te salutant vos.

If we look up the “official sponsor” of pro sports and contact them with the message of “ quit them or I quit you” this would all end!
Unfortunately, that been tried. The owners and sponsors feel as emboldened as the players. When they were at 20% attendance don't you think they asked for us back? The ship had sailed by then.

You only go back to 2012? My boycott started in 2010 with Kaepernick's antics. Same info though. Kaep's girlfriend was a radical Islamist who had an impact on him.
I'll see your 2010 and raise you 1987.
Two weeks into the 1987 season, the NFL's players went on strike. For the first time in the history of professional sports in the United States, replacement players would take the field.
I have not enjoyed football since then. have watched games. Seldom, but no more. You couldn't pay me to watch the prima donnas strut around on the field.

It's time to send these over-paid, self-centered, idiots to China. They want to appease the Chinese feelings, they should move there, and get paid by them. OR, you could just not go to games. No attendance, no more overpriced tickets, no income for management, no more games.
Why not let rookies, who love this country and the game, be the players. Rookies would be happy just to play for a crowd and get paid. If that were the case, it should even be priced reasonable enough to take your family to any of the games.

It used to be. Not the rookie thing but cheap.
I used to go to the raider game once a year and it was like $11 per seat.
I saved my stubs for years.
Last game I went to was in’84 and in LA. Still just $25.
Haven’t been back, never ever again.

Totally agree, Bear. Just noticed your location. Spent 10 years in Washington County when I was little.
