In all seriousness, I am willing to help organize a boycott and protest. I've been a part of my own boycott now for a few years, but the only protesting I've done is my bitching and complaining on here, and the only organization I've done is...well...none. This potential boycott and protest is for everyone interested. KAD's, NNN's, fans, nonfans, drunks, virgins, nerds, smokers, nonsmokers, Americans, foreigners, Kraft lovers, Kraft haters....Seriously, anyone. I don't really care who you are, or what your other opinions are, other than the fact that you are sick and tired of seeing this sport and team get dragged through the shitfilled mud year after year by an absente owner and his band of apathetic losers. A lot of people have complained that things don't get organized. Some other complain that a boycott is too harsh. Fine, whatever, I don't care. I'm doing this, and if I'm alone, then so be it. I know there are at least a few of you who would be interested in this. Dan, amirite? If anyone is interested in this, feel free to send me a message. We can also discuss on here, but I'm sure this thread will be off track in 3 posts. Let's start the real revolution...
So let me ask, what's the goal? We're not going to get Kraft to sell, just because we asked. Do we want the FO cleaned out? Do we want enchiladas in the stadium? What's the goal...?
The goal is to get a better product. That is pretty clear. A better team. A better gameday experience. Isn't that what you want? I don't want Kraft to sell necessarily. I just want him to provide a quality product.
I kinda figured that, but made more sense to make sure that what you're looking for is out there and clear.
Problem is nobody can ever get on the same page. I know there are people that would like to join, self included but then is the same crap. Lets wear bags on our heads, no thats mean to the players! Lets picket out side, no then we will get arrested, lets sit in silence, no because you look like everyone else, lets wear black, no because the jerseys are dark blue etc...
Boycott, and boycott only. I think something effective would be to print up some sort of informative flyer, and hand them out in the parking lot at a game. I'm 100% sure that this could only happen like once or twice, as the Kraft/TeamOps gestapo will make sure we don't hand out anymore, but the information can surely easily be passed out once. Another step is to, in person, go around and talk to other fans about what we stand for and what we want to change. It may mean that some of us drunkards stay sober for a few games so we don't act belligerent. I'm well aware that a lot of the organized protests have fallen flat because they are so hard to organize. Which is why I said I will go on this crusade on my own if I have to. I'm just telling you guys this is how it's going to be, and you can follow if you want to.
I made a decision after Saturday nights game to not attend this Sundays game as a mini boycott. This will be the first game I missed by choice in about 2 years.
In spite of the deficiencies I do so enjoy going to games. I can't stop that, but I would be more than happy to sign a petition.
but you could enjoy them so much more. No one is asking you to stop forever. Just stop until things change.
Just make sure if you're handing out fliers, you don't ask someone to change a $5 bill or something. You'll be immediately thrown into a Paddy Wagon and carted to the Wrentham GULAG! KO... here's a link to an online petition. Start it. I'll sign, even though I want KRAFT GONE(totally delusional, but I can dream)... You name it..with whatever items you deem necessary for petition. And I thank you http://www.ipetitions.com/start-petition
I haven't been this year, but it is by choice. A boycott would imply I'd normally go but I was refraining for a specific reason. I used to boycott Chick-fil-a because they interfer with my college football with that insufferable cow popping up during the game with misspelled signs. That ended a few weeks ago. I figure a few mayors can take my place. I had a sammich from them last week, it was awesome. No, I'm just not going to spend close to a grand a year on a team the sucks as a result of a neglectful FO. The product blows. I got all bent out of shape when they were on the decline, but never boycotted. The only companies on my boycott list are the ones whose commercials make my tv louder. Screw them.
Nah, that's a free market decision. I still watch every game because they are my team. I just can't be compelled to get out to Foxborough. Although, my brother seems to think I'm going this weekend.
whatever happened to the group that was trying to raise money to buy the Revs from Bobby K? Ive already been partially boycotting for about 2 years. Its real hard to FULLY boycott them, cause then you cant go to the Revs site, follow the Revs or Revs employees on social media platforms, etc, because that all benefits KSG. And of course, no buying tickets or gear. Anyways, GL.
What are we defining as 'better?' Is it making the playoffs? Making it to MLS Cup? How are we defining a better gameday experience?
