Atlanta’s problem as a sports town is that everyone comes from somewhere else. Nobody there grew up being a Braves or Falcons fan. They either grew up Cubs or Dodgers fans and moved there, or they come from another country where they don’t give a damn about American spectator sports.
Houston is similar; one in four people in Houston were born in another country, and probably two of the other four were born somewhere else and moved to Houston after they reached adulthood. Houston is also a bad pro sports town, but not as bad as Atlanta.
In the Atlanta fans defense. The lower boxes were empty but I hear the upper seats were filled.
The new stadium has this asinine season ticket scam whereas the lower seats are PSL seating - permanent seat license. It gives the owner the right to purchase Falcon season tickets every year for a specific seat. Just a few idiots are actually paying from $500 to $45,000 for these PSL seat. This does NOT include the actual price of the game day ticket.
The scam doesn’t seem to be working
America is Baseball and Golf.
The Slum Dog Millionaires of the BLM/NFL are still rolling down hill. Simple laws of physics say you can’t start back up the hill until you stop rolling down the hill. Ha ha ha ha eat crap and bark at the moon you dumb bastards (can’t call them Sons of bitches because hurts their delicate feelings).
Alright, last month Michelle Malkin told us that NFL has a new meaning: No Fans Left. Their ratings are falling like a rock, stadiums are more than half empty, sponsors are running away, and fans are finding other things to do on Sundays. Will the NFL start canceling games now, due to lack of interest?
The NFL “It’s dead Jim.”
BOOM!
I don’t care if they are protesting against gun control. I don’t want politics in football. Period.
The nfl, its "games", their "scores", the players are ALL totally irrelevant and utterly meaningless.
The nfl has become like the ancient gladiatorial games, the Circus Maximus; the famous gladiators and the charioteers of "renoun" from the ancient Romance Empire.
Their arenas are nothing but crumbling ruins and who can recall or name any of their "famous" gladiators or charioteers? The answer is no one! This is the fate that awaits the once "glorious" nfl:
Ozymandias
I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: `Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed. And on the pedestal these words appear --
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.'
Percy Bysshe Shelley
This is the future that awaits the nfl, and they destroyed it all with their own hands!
ALL THEY REALLY CARE ABOUT IS THE MONEY, THAT IS ALL!
They literally strangled to death their fan base "goose that laid all of their billion dollar nfl solid gold eggs" with their own hands. The goose is permanently dead and they killed it! Now, all too late they want to put Humpty Dumpy back together again and resurrect the goose from the dead.
This is rich, the National Felon League chose to side and kneel with hate America, only blm, sjw, hate whitey, communist anarchists over America and their own nfl fan base and now their fan base has been totally alienated and the very monsters they willingly aligned themselves with have turned on them and are now eating them alive.
All too late the nfl has awoken to the reality that the entire league, has an INCURABLE CASE OF SELF INFLICTED FINANCIAL EBOLA and is hemorrhaging money out of every conceivable orafice to the tune of HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS A WEEK with no way out and no end in sight.
The once financially lucrative nfl is circling the toilet bowl into obscurity and is quickly becoming totally irrelevant and financially worthless.
We choose to STAND with Americans for America; we choose love of country, we choose patriotism, we choose to "Live Free or Die", rather than "huddle up", "bend the knee" and subjugate ourselves, our families, and our beloved nation to the black racist, socialist, sjw, PC tyranny and perverted ideology of the National Felon League.
They want us to compromise our patriotism, our love of country, flag and nation and symbolically join the NFL in show of rebellious "unity" but "What fellowship does light have with darkness, good with evil (and subjugation for the sake of 'unity')?"
The answer is a resounding NOTHING! We can have no "unity" with those who hate our nation, its flag, its values and with those who despise us.
The anti-American National Felon League has, to quote Admiral Yamato: "awoken a sleeping giant and filled him with a terrible resolve".
We are at war; the NFL started this cultural war against US, against America and they are attacking EVERYTHING WE STAND FOR, BELIEVE IN AND HOLD NEAR AND DEAR.
Like WWII, there can not be any, truce, or "compromise" for the sake of their false notion of "unity", no "cessation of hostilities" with the nfl and those who have made themselves our enemies with out a cause.
We Americans who love our county more than any game have now taken up the fight forced upon us by the nfl and like "the greatest generation" we too will settle for only one outcome: NOTHING LESS THAT THEIR TOTAL SURRENDER!
The monumental choke in the Super Bowl was the final straw for many ATL sports fans.
Maybe multimillionaire players don’t see the connection between ‘fans and viewers’ and their ‘paychecks’...
LOL
They will... and sooner than people think...
Now, with the player protests and the Broncos play sucking, I feel really, really good about my choice.
Suck on that, NFL. Al Davis is up there laughing his head off I’ll bet.
