When Are (We) Sports Fans Going On Strike?

-
NFL lockout

NBA season in doubt

NHL lockout (2004-05)

MLB strike (1994)

And this is just the USA's major sports.

Just ONCE I would love to see the fans go on strike- do not buy any tickets. Do not buy any sports merchandise.

If you must, go tailgating, have a party there, just do NOT purchase any tickets to the event.

Football fans stay away for one month- 4 games- OR until they make it affordable to take a family of four to a game- has to be $100 for the tickets, the parking and food (alcohol not included).

WE HAVE THE POWER.

And I say it is about time that we used it.


When in the course of professional sporting events it becomes necessary for one people (fans) to dissolve their unions that have connected them to various sports franchises and athletes and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of fans requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We, the fans of professional sports, in order to obtain a more affordable entertainment, do hereby declare a general boycott of all professional sporting events.

I would like to give thanks to the founding fathers for their words of wisdom and inspiration which I have used because I do believe this is a dire situation and dire situations calls for no-holds-barred.
