On the other hand, I believe that it is possible that some people paid so much money up front for their tickets, travel and accommodations to attend a game, that just shit-canning all of it is just too hard to do.
That was the dilemma that our family faced in October to attend the Packers & Saints game in Green Bay. The trip was planned and paid for, far in advance and we decided to suck it up and go. After that, the NFL is a non-entity in our home and will remain so for the duration.
I think that the Empty Stadium phenomenon will become even bigger in the coming months when the renewals for the 2018 season begin.
I completely get not throwing away a family trip related to this year’s NFL boycott. And yes I agree, next year things will tumble down further.
