I posted about it an hour ago and have replied like twice.Sounds like you are getting worked up. You've gone on about it for hours now.
It may be nonsense to you, but others disagree.
Anyway, none of this matters because watching the NFL is like watching grass grow.
I liked football better when all it took to have top players was a SS Camaro from Beaty Chevrolet and a few hand$hakes or free tacos. Handing out millions and subsequently having ticket prices increasing exponentially for some nincompoop and his fatass dad leave cause the millions they got wasn’t enough just doesn’t make for fairness.
We’re paying for an uncapped arms race, not necessarily production. Full-time free agency too. This is the worst pro model anyone could dream up. It’s creating a bubble and I’m not going to be sad to see it burst.

*Insert joke about DC*Who knew it would take football ticket prices for many to recognize that market inflation across many sectors is far outpacing wage increases.
Danny White is just following the numbers, and to a degree he HAS to to keep this thing afloat. We aren't getting priced out by him, the average Joe is getting priced out by wage stagnation and increased cost of living.
I was at the same game sitting in an LSU section. I was constantly pelted by the chunk ice that was in drinks back then. I had to find other seats before half time . LSU fans are the worst. This was with them totally dominating us on the field…On the other hand I forgot my ticket at home, drove to Knoxville, and had to buy a second one at the gate from a scalper for an LSU game way back in the day. $5. Why? I bought at kickoff, we sucked (on our way to a 0-6 start), it started pouring rain, and the game was on TV (which wasn’t always the case in those days). I was rooting the boys on as best as I could in my poncho, but we got crushed.
I don’t ever want another $5 ticket.
