I hope you don't have kids or a wife because you value money and time over them and you deserve what you get.Furthermore numbnuts I'm a 2nd generation season ticket holder who was going to games before PSL's ever existed. The only reason I gave mine up was because I moved out of state. I gave my cash and my time long before your pompous ass contributed anything to this team. You think because your stupid enough to spend that money your daddy left makes you anymore of a fan? Nah. It just makes you a poser with so many issues they can't begin to be counted. Textbook bro simply textbook. "Time" equals the 7 hours I am at a football game and missing my kids ballet recitals, baseball games, hockey games, etc. dozens of which I have not attended because of my dedication to the Jets. My father left me no money. I made my fortune without such help. When you learn how to spell poseur you can call me one. Until then shut your mouth.

ScarletKnight89 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 34 minutes ago, SAR I said: And the opposite is my point. Going to a single game is a 7 hour commitment. You wake up early, you get to the stadium hours in advance, you watch warmups, you grab lunch, you watch the game. When its over, you sit in traffic and get home late. Typical 1:00 game my day starts at 10:00 and ends at 5:00. Someone who doesn't go? Roll out of bed at 12:45, turn on the game, pick your ass, eat pretzels. Halftime you masturbate. Second half you nap. It's not the same thing. SAR I It's completely the same thing. You're watching and supporting your team. That's all that matters. Being in the stadium is irrelevant. Majority of teams fan bases doesn't go to the games. Some people like the stadium atmosphere, some don't. There's so many examples of why people can't go to the stadium, and none of them revolve around not being a "real fan". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because someone says "I'm the biggest Jets fan!" from their couch doesn't make it so. The money you invest on the team matters. The time you invest each gameday matters. And, for the record, I'm a Level B, I'm what you'd call a middle-class Jets fan. I spend the money on season tickets and I go to most games. I'm not as diehard or dedicated as a Club seat owner or a PSL owner who attends every game. He trumps me just like I trump you.

I attended every game in Foxboro in those years and drove down 10 hours round trip 4x a year for Jets games. I know what it means to be a long distance fan. But I'd never 1) post in a forum how I was giving up my tickets because the team wasn't contending and 2) act like I was Mr. Super Fan for doing so. Diehard fans are defined during hard times, not good times. That's sort of Fandom 101. SAR I I agree with you 100%. Even after my wife (she a Patriot fan) and I moved to Michigan we continued to use our season tickets. I have to be honest, we did give up our tickets, I may have posted that here but I never stopped being a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
