the NFL is no longer for the common fan

i have called NFL complaints office probably 100 times. voicemail every time. guy picks up once and the second i say "saints" he cuts me to the same d*** yankee voicemail. this organization only cares about yankee $$ northerners and avocado toast eating LA _____ they want football to be the game for the corporate business socialite Winburn with no real emotional investment just monetary. its fans like us who get shortchanged thinking we have any real impact or stake. NFL is ignoring us. there will be no statment. we dont matter to them, the saints dont matter to them, the chiefs dont matter to them. this is a caste system/virtual reality they created and were sheep. i dont want to belive it but its just ruined for me forever

good points. it is also an oligarchy
the NFl(goodell who represents the owners) is the judge, jury and executioner.

NFL was never for the common fan.

Agreed. It was literally a sport for rich American businessmen to compete against one-another. The concept that the NFL was for John and Jane TV fan is laughable.
That being said the sport morphed into a better version that did mean a bit more than it did when it was founded. As it stands today, if you no longer like the product (which I do not) don't spend money on tickets or merchandise. I've made a conscious decision to do that myself.

This happened a long time ago. Its why I stopped buying Saints season tickets in the 90s and started buying LSU season tickets.
One day any NFL team could leave or change cities/locations. LSU will never leave the state of Louisiana.

Yeah I won't renew this year. I've had them since 1999 when my dad asked if I wanted to go half-in on them when his best friend passed away. When he retired I picked them up and starting paying for both tickets.
Really sucks I have so many fond memories of the game as a Saints fan, really don't know how I'm going to cope with it to be honest.
The fact remains I just can't justify spending the money on the tickets and travel from the Houston area 8-10 weekends out of the year just to culminate in what happened Sunday. The audacity of the NFL in thinking that paying customers will tolerate this is the most disgusting thing I have seen in a long time.
I don't think myself and others making this decision has much financial impact ultimately. More than likley businesses will start buying a lot of the open season tickets; however, I think it'll destroy the culture within the Dome on game day.

Vince has a great relationship with New Orleans. Wrestlemania is in new orleans quite often.
After this fiasco, a team may get over in new Orleans. We want to support the saints, but the NFL is tainted.

agreed. i do not blame you.
i dumped my LSU tix after 20 years this year also. cannot justify the product and lack of commitment.
shite buy XFL tix. we can meet up at those games. 5 hour drive for me but i am so damn disgusted with the NFL i am up for anything new.

shite the XFl has many job openings right now. If we would get a team in NOLA maybe i could get derek ponamsky to make a binder for me like he did coach O?
