Comments on: NFL Blackout Rules, Cold Cuts and Cheerios http://www.solecismic.com/frontierblog/?p=46 Commentary on College and Professional Football from Solecismic Software Tue, 07 Sep 2010 00:13:44 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.3 By: Mike Sutton http://www.solecismic.com/frontierblog/?p=46#comment-61 Mike Sutton Sun, 16 Sep 2007 23:42:05 +0000 http://www.solecismic.com/frontierblog/?p=46#comment-61 A blackout turns me away from being a supporter. I have thought about buying season tickets just to help attendance and give them away everyweek. I like the fact a small market, Jacksonville, has a professional team. I just have no desire to deal with crowds associated with a live game. I don't begrudge them trying to show a profit. The team owner did his part by blocking seats off several years ago, and I respect that. But bottom line it is an ignorant marketing move today. When a team needs fan support why would they want to penalize the supporters, asking me to pay a premuim even though they are a non-premium product. (less than a winning season) Try selling a Chevrolet at Mercedes prices, it will not work. They should use their heads and be happy for the reduced revenue from the broadcast. A possible compromise is a pay for view at some fee less than a ticket price. Thanks for putting this site up it would be incredibile if it caught the eye of someone with a brain in the NFL hierarchy. A blackout turns me away from being a supporter.

It's clear that you do your homework for these blog entries. Keep it up! I also like how you use your own experiences, such as growing up in Michigan, to illustrate your point about the importance of broadcasting games, regardless of selling out the stadium. One more thing: I shudder at the thought of no Front Office Football! I agree completely. It’s clear that you do your homework for these blog entries. Keep it up!
