Disabled people rule!

I love the NY Giants and the NY Yankees. If you don't like them, thats cool, like who you want. I love the NFL (mostly) basically the teams, players, fans etc. ( not the greed and conservative rules). I like some college football too. NY doesn't have much, other than Syracuse ( whom I root for ) who usually has a losing season. Hopefully that will get better. The big east isn't close to the powerful SEC but then again, nobody is. Feel free to leave a comment, would love to discuss stuff.

The NFL is out of touch with its fan base!

 Not only is a ticket to a major sporting event (I will talk about the NFL in this case ) more than a weeks groceries for most people (or a car payment, electric bill, etc. ) , the NFL will blackout the game if not enough people pay for a ticket. Even though I have supported my team for my entire life, buying clothes, hats , jerseys, posters, keychains and other Giants stuff etc, I am not good enough to watch my own favorite team unless I or someone else buys a ticket. How ungrateful and greedy can they be? Tons of middle to lower class people can't afford to buy a ticket and you see fit to punish them? Before you say, well instead of all the clothing, etc buy a ticket. A Giants shirt cost me $7-10.00 at Wal-Mart and these items have been bought over a span of at least 30 yrs, a ticket in the nosebleed section will cost me at least $75.00 or so. I'm sorry NFL, but this makes you so disgustingly greedy and out of touch with your fans. Stop acting like you care so much because something like this shows the exact opposite of caring. I am sure you NFL bigwigs can still afford to show the game to the rest of us and still profit. Blackout games are an outdated process and you should think of other ways to get people in the seats like say lowering prices maybe. I will always be a fan of my team but I pretty much detest the organization they play for. Don't say theres no team without the NFL because there would be no NFL if it wasn't for us fans. Change things, NOW !!!!
