Next up: People who walk away from pro sports are racists.

I was a Steeler season tix holder for almost 40 years beginning in 1966 when my first season ticket cost was $21. It was $3 a game for seven home games then being played at the old Pitt Stadium at the top of a mountain in Oakland.

At one point in the 70s I had 16 sets of tix that I used for business {the home games were not on TV}, so the seats were very hot for bribery...errr, business gifts.

I also had 4 sets of Penguin tix that I bought the year Mario was drafted, what a run that was.

We sold our last two Steeler tix in the early 2000's when after being forced to buy our seats in Heinz Field, we we no longer allowed to smoke {in an outside stadium} in our own seats.

I guess that was the beginning of the end of my passion for pro sports.

When I pay for something, I want some say in my interaction with the receiver of my money.

If that made me a racist, OK with me.
