“The NFL cares if you buy the seat, not if you sit in it, so it’s too late to boycott.”
EXACTLY. Go if you want to go. Don’t if you don’t, and sell the ticket. The real protest is to not buy their product in the future.
The tickets are already paid for. Destroying them only wastes your money. I’d give two tickets to your son and DIL and let them go. I’d also make the trip, do something else during the game but enjoy the rest of the trip with the kids.
Go.
This is what is sad about the whole NFL thing and why it frankly has the stench of Soros or some other anti-American leftist who wants to divide Americans and weaken our country.
> And don’t forget a stop at Primanti’s! <
And if an older lady is your waitress, just for fun ask her if you can get your sandwich without fries.
Such first world problems.
I was just reading about the plight of Christians in NK.
Just give all the tickets to your spoiled kids and be thankful for th USA.
I went to a sports bar yesterday just to hang out with my friends, as we don’t often gather as often as we used to (I live in Phoenix and we are spread out all over the valley). Watched half of the Cardinals game with them as the Cards really stunk things up. Then took my kid to a movie. I really don’t miss the NFL all that much, to be honest. I hate that politics has now ruined it. My friends lamented that fact, but they are still watching.
Give the tickets to the kids.
Go to the game and make spektakles out of yourselves. Why should you guys miss all the fun? Scream and yell at all the malcontents not showing proper respect. Call them out. Be a jerk, you know, how the lefties do it.
Make protest signs stating this is your last game EVER. Enjoy it if you can.
You would figure a Steelers tattoo would have been safe......
If I were the husband, and if I were the only one who did not want to go, I’d bite the bullet and go. As Mr. Spock so valiantly said: “the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one”. In this case, the importance of the family outing outweighs the making of a statement about the NFL. Divesting from the NFL will simply have to be a work in progress in cases like this.
Since the rooneys already have the money, I'd go, bring you own snacks, and enjoy the time with the family.
You could view it as the nfl funeral day.
Take the trip anyway, but dont see the game.
Instead find some unbathed winos, get them drunk, and send them into the game.
Go.
.
Husband won’t be going, so I guess sell. The hotel rooms can be cancelled with no loss, but you can sell the tix with the parking. Might take some loss but maybe not.
And then plan a different trip with the kids. That’s what you’re disappointed about, missing making a fun family memory. So still do it, elsewhere. Life happens.
2. Make the trip to Pittsburgh anyway.
3. See if the Penguins or a nearby minor league hockey team is playing at home that weekend. The Wheeling Nailers, for example, are an ECHL team that plays not far from Pittsburgh.
4. Go to the hockey game with your Steelers gear on. Let everyone know that you've given up the Steelers to see the hockey game.
Yeah. Every keyboard warrior is going to tell you to burn the tickets. They didn’t put out $5000 plus for them.
And so it goes around here.
Me? I would write letters to the NFL, the team, and the advertisers telling them my purchasing habits were going to change otherwise, and if I couldn’t bring myself to go to the games, I would sell the tickets or give them away.
"Hello, Jerry."
"Hello, Newman."
Only amateurs buy stuff in the stadium...:)
“And if an older lady is your waitress, just for fun ask her if you can get your sandwich without fries.”
You are the type of person who gets an argument started then stands back and enjoys while it escalates aren’t you.
Do Not Question The Fries At Primanti’s!!
Have you looked into selling your tickets? Prices may not be as low as you think. I know here in Tampa last week people were selling their season tickets for the Bucs/Patriots game at well above face value.
