Latest on the 2011 Lockout

[Guild]

What I hate is that we are fans. We buy merchandise. We watch the games rabidly. We watch their crappy commercials. We buy tickets. We buy over priced beer, nachos, and popcorn.

All we want is to watch football, and maybe get an autograph every now and then.

Yet, two groups of people sit in a room and argue about what's best... And no one cares about what the fans want.

If you pay money for the product then you are saying what you are getting is what you want.

Well, seeing as I actually CAN watch football this year, I kinda am saying I have what I want... Because I definitely DON'T want a lock-out.

Everyone faces trade-offs. You do not have to eat the food or buy beer at the stadium. When I go, I stuff my belly right before I go in with food and take a few shots.

Also a BA/S isn't worth the paper it's printed on.

Hey!

I take offense to that.

If we could get all fans to not go or watch a game one sunday and those owners not make a dime on that overpriced food, drinks, and everything at those stadiums, they would work out a deal. We make the owners and players rich, without us, they would be regular people with regular jobs.

Except, you know, they made money before they became owners. You know, oil tycoons, opening Hardee's, etc.

Nope.

Yep. It's known as voting with your wallet.

Not when you're paying for product produced by a tax subsidized monopoly.

No such thing against a natural monopoly with unlimited demand.
