Title: What Sports Really Needs Is A Fans Strike! I'm In!
Post by: TraceOneInfinite on February 11, 2005, 11:09:42 PM
Fans are not acting in their own interests.  Fans complain about ticket prices, parking prices, the cost of water ($3.00) at a sports event, but fail to realize that they control all of those prices, and that they have the ultimate power to change them.

I'm calling for a fans strike.  Who's In?  I've already started it.  I haven't attended a proffesional sporting event in over a year. 

OUR DEMANDS:  Free water At Games.  Free Parking.  No More Stadium Taxes.  Ticket Prices Cut 50% Across The Board.

and if you give free parking, 6 dollar ticket prices , 50 cent hot dogs, you don't get to see the lakers play at the Luxurious Staples Center.  If you got a problem with the prices, it's called sneaking shit in

That ain't Shit try goin to watch Football (soccer) in Scotland. Now thats dear
£30 to whatch a team who are in all honesty semi professional play a Celtic or Rangers and then they chaarge u sky high prices when ure in, and they don't give u good seats for that! just shit ones. Thats workin out at over $50 to see a 90 minute long game of football were your team get the piss takin out of them and the home support is smaller than the visitors! at least in American sports u have more than two good teams! in Scotland there is Rangers and Celtic, the rest are shit! and i support one of the shit teams. So for those few times a season when u actually get a chance to watch good football ure depressed because of the price and the fact we get beaten every time!

You're of course 100% right, but you're talking about basically a fan revolution... and you know that revolution is rare. 

You're exactly right though, the fans have nobody to blame but themselves.  We're born free... you're free to NOT spend crazy ass ticket prices, and free to NOT have to pay for water, and you're free to NOT have to pay for parking... and you've exercised that freedom, and chosen that freedom, by not attending the games.

If you step back and look at it, it's just a game.  No use getting fucked over it.
