Overpriced tickets and overpaid mouth breathers. NFL dishing out all the cash to Dems, hope they go out of business.

NBA lost $800 million last year.

Since most stadiums are paid for by the taxpayers, why aren’t the tickets to the games free to anyone who can prove that he is a net taxpayer that “contributed” money to these playgrounds?

The NFL treats its customers (the fans) like crap only most of them are too stupid to realize it. I’m a big football fan but I’m starting to go away from the NFL due to the over-priced tickets, excessive TV time-outs, and leftist positions (barring Limbaugh from being a part-owner, donations to left-wing politicians) to name a few. Couple that with the “Rollerball” mentality exhibited by such morons as Pittsburgh’s James Harrison and I believe that fans will start to turn away.
Will they all go away?? No, but I hope that enough of them will to make the league change its course.

Given the fan base of the NFL is men and men vote GOP more than women, the NFL moves to:

1. allow their commissioner to smear Limbaugh when trying to become a minority owner of a team while accepting rappers,

2. make the game more female, by limiting the defense from hitting,

3. putting their games on NBC with Olbermann on the pre-game for many years and a “green” broadcast

could only be expected to chase off some of their fan base. Their fan base is not NYC liberals. They need to fire the NYC commisioner and really move their offices out of NYC.

All the teams you listed are either slightly below mediocre to outright pathetic. They don’t sell out for a reason. Don’t blame NFL rules, blame the teams for putting such slop on the field and the fan base for finding better things to do w/ their time and money.

Honestly, if your team is under .500 in nearly half way through the season probably better to find something more productive to do w/ your time. Either that or go to the game. I’m sure you can find cheap tix.

Almost all of the Jaguar home games were blacked out last year. Been talk of them moving because of it. But realistically, one has to wonder if another city (like LA) will want a losing team. Instead of looking at their internal personnel problems and adjusting accordingly, they threaten to move the team in order to coerce more fans to buy tickets.

Times are hard. If I had money to spare, I’d probably go to a few games, win or lose, but I don’t have the money to spare...So.. screw em. It’s almost like extortion...lol.

The right needs to boycott the NFL for its treatment of Limbaugh and its PAC contributing 95% of its cash to the red socialists that call themselves the democrats.

To hell with them.

I live in Pittsburgh. Don’t have to worry about missing the game on TV.

$62.50 a ticket for nosebleed seats and $10 beers to go with $12 hotdogs might have something to do with it.

I have DirecTV RedZone which is directly in front of the best seat in my house anyway...

Couldn’t have anything to do with the 5th week in a row with cleats, pads, gloves mouth guards and goal posts the color of Pepto Bismol. Naaah.

*hurl*

And Jet game will not be on at my house as NFL allows Fox to hold its signal, that they give away free, for ransom from Cablevision.
