Just priced some NFL tickets

[Mister D]

Professional sports are generally ridiculous but I do admit watching a good game here and there. This was the final nail in the coffin as far as I am concerned.

As attendence drops revenue drops but the bills stay the same. So they have to increase the ticket price to try to at least break even, Stadiums cost a fortune to run.




The kneeling kicked the NFLS ass thats why they had to make the move to try and stop it.

The onus is on them for allowing it go on and damage their business, I have no sympathy for multi millionaires who never worked a day in their life. All sports are overpaid

It's an Eagles home game so I'm sure the SB win inflated tickets and we didn't want the nose bleed section either. If we still had kids at home , no way. As it is the trip itself will cost more than the tickets . It's the wife's BD present , she is a long suffering eagles fan.
Still 20 some years ago when the kids were still at home we took the whole famdamnily ( 6 of us) to an Orioles game for less that $100.00 bucks total
From players to agents, to broadcasters, coaches, owners, trainers etc pure unadulterated greed is going to kill the golden goose.

I’m a Seattle season ticket holder. The tickets have been in my family since their first season. Yesterday I received an invitation to attend an event with all of the Seahawks coaching staff. I was told to think of some questions to present to them. An RSVP was required. I decided to attend. I think I’m only going to ask football related questions and avoid the anthem protest stuff.

I much prefer watching games on my giant TV from my recliner with some drink and sausages on the BBQ. I do miss the tailgating we used to do.

A lot of us veterans were disgusted by the NFL stomping on free speech, and swore them off. It was the only patriotic thing to do. The players were respecting the flag, and the owners just lied and caved to the thugs.

The whole kerfluffle, however, had zilch effect on ratings and attendance. That was dropping for a while. The product was just getting bad, too long, too repetitive, too expensive. When I was a kid, we lived football. Dad had season tickets (to the Browns, sadly). Kids now, they don't care.

The US caved to blacks in the 1960's when they began burning down cities.
Caved again during the LA riot's of the 1990's.
Caved again during the Michael Brown riots a few years ago.
Caved again during the Baltimore riots just to riot.
Caved to every huge flash mob of looting.
Nothing positive has ever developed out of any of this. It's all been down, down, down.
Doesn't matter how black whites become in order to buoy up their precious work in progress, blacks are bringing themselves down. The NFL will be no more within the next decade.

This will be a very interesting season. New National Anthem Rule, new tackling Rule and more division.

I highly doubt they will enforce it. Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross says he had not decided whether to actually discipline players who protest during the national anthem when he told the team it could be a possibility.

Makes sense. I'm a niners fan and it looks like we took a lot of talent but also a lot of mouth off your hands this year.

After Colin Kappernick and his antics, and other members disrespecting the flag , I could create less If the entire league goes bankrupt.

I will never watch another game. A lot of veterans feel the same way..

And Colin Kappernick can go to hell for all I care. And the league can dissolve for letting players disrespect this nation, its history, and the blood spilled by the service men and women.

The whole league can go belly up, and I won't shed a tear.

I can respect that . However that is far from the NFL's only problem.

I still have my season tix for the Browns. Six rows back, 40 yard line, visitors side. I disagree with your assessment but it is your right to say so.

That is a very sad picture.

This is much happier picture.

Sherman is a talented player, but there's a reason Seattle released him and it wasn't only about money.

Plus its not certain that he can come back fully from his injuries last season
