primetime441 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 They lay an egg against a subpar Colts team and expect to be coddled?? Bunch of professional sissies. I'd be supportive if they were coming off a Super Bowl or a conference title or even a playoff appearance but they played a punting game with a crappy team and expected paying customers to cheer a crap product. Tell CT to pass whatever he's smoking. For his sake, I'm glad he never played for Philly otherwise he'd be popping depression pills. How about next time instead of concentrating on the boo's go out and execute the game plan against a lesser opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drowland Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Booing,that's what people are worried about? Booing at least means fans care and the boos can be turned to cheers pretty quickly. The real problem is 30K or so empty seats. That shows apathy is setting in with this fan base. That's a major problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFi Skins Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I don't know if it's apathy alone or the fact that there a ton of people who banned watching NFL games due to either the kneeling during the anthem or Nike, or the fact that you can have a much better picture on your couch and 70 inch screen which is much, much cheaper....

Dancing Bear Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 If you don't want fans to boo, you must do better. I wouldn't pay $100 for a ticket, $25 for food and drink to see this crap. Sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatteredFanSyndrome Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I keep seeing people throw out the $100 ticket price but that’s off. When I checked on prices through the Redskins, it was $130 to sit up top plus about $35 in fees. That’s $165 each ticket for a bad seat plus parking and concessions. What I think was missing was the demographic that waits until the morning of and pays next to nothing for tix on sites like StubHub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number that's been thrown around for a family of four to go to a game is $575, which actually seems low to me. For $575, you can buy a pretty damn good tv and have money left to order pizza.

Upper level corner, 21 rows up. $95 face value each with fees is 452.95. Add in parking and hot dog and drink for each person and you’ve easily hit $575.

Dancing Bear Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I was being somewhat conservative when quoting $100 plus other fees to see a football game. The fact remains, a hard working individual has every right to boo when the "product" on field does not equate to the amount being spent to see them.

That's a major problem. Right? Who cares if both people there in burgundy and gold boo? It's great to be loved, hard to be hated, but devastating to not be thought of at all. Every empty seat is worse than a thousand boos. At least those people showed up. I stopped going altogether for the most part because it just wasn't worth the aggravation. And remember that those of us who did/do boo don't actually go to the game to boo. We go to have a great time and watch a great team have a great game. We *WANT* to not have a reason to boo. Same thing I tell my clients: Don't try to stop doing something; do something else. Get us to cheer so that we won't be able to boo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail4Life Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I'm a huge Chris Thompson fan but he is wrong here. AS FANS WE ARE REDSKINS FOR LIFE, Chris and other players are Redskins now but that ends when they are no longer on the team. We care about this team more than the players do. But whether we boo or cheer the players we still support them. If the team is playing half ass uninspired football then we have a right to call you out and let you know we can see it. Just fight hard every play of every game. I won't boo if you lose, they could lose every game and I wouldn't boo them as long as they fought like hell each game.

Canadianfanforlife Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I can't say I've ever been to a home game so I won't comment on that particular experience. However, I have seen the team play at a couple of boarder cities. Some games we've won & some we've lost. Of the games we won, I heard lots of the other teams fans booing. & rightfully so. We were kicking their ass. Maybe I'm missing something here but I don't understand what the difference is between some other teams fans booing their team at home when they play poorly & our fans doing the same. HTTR!!!

Unbias Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I said this in the other thread. In the home opener the Eagles were boo'ed. They are the reigning champions who ended up winning that game. Why should we hold the Redskins to a lower standard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
