#27TheDominator Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 what team would you root for instead? My guess is that he'd root for whichever team was on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of blackouts, you would disown the Jets? You can't be a fan of this team that long I'm guessing or not nearly as knee deep in green s hit as many of us are.

PS17 Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Would that be the final nail in the coffin as far as loyalty to the Jets goes? I know it would for me. So, fans not wanting to pay outrageous prices for tickets would be the reason you disown the Jets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentos Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 My guess is that he'd root for whichever team was on TV. the same team wouldn't be on TV every week I took his post as being one where he would be upset with the Jets management for pricing tickets too high which led to the blackouts. If this is his deal, then he could root for any of the other 31 teams. It is not necessarily a TV issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude Love Posted June 20, 2010 Author Share Posted June 20, 2010 It is not necessarily a TV issue. You have to have at least some exposure to the team you are rooting for--- I can't understand how people used to be a fan of some team that they maybe watched play (on tv or live) once or twice a year. I know today you can get the NFL channel and all that, but I wouldn't do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 I'd go to a sports bar to watch them. However, being that I live in North Carolina I do that anyways. Or, you could be a REAL fan and buy a PSL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, the only reason I became a Jets fan is because I kept seeing them on tv. In hindsight, Woody should have bought the team 30 years ago this would be one less problem in my life.

Dude Love Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 The first game was telecast in 1939 Who owned a tv set in 1939? That's a ridiculous point. Even the NFL recognizes it's own history; watch any documentary on the NFL and they always use the Giants vs Colts championship game of 1958--- BROADCAST ON NATIONAL TV--- as the launching pad of the league.

And I will stick with what I said. Football on the radio sucks, baseball on the radio is pretty good. It is no coincidence that as TV replaced radio as the national media football replaced baseball as the national sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are missing my point...of course football is a million times better than listening to it on the radio...all I'm saying is, you shouldn't be swayed into not supporting your team if they are blacked out...there are other ways to follow your team...I did it for years before the NFL ticket was available.

To some extent it will happen. New York has two teams. And while both the Giants and Jets have some diehard fans that hate the other New York team, it also has a fair amount of fans that root for both/which ever team is having a better season. Also for me personally, if given the choice of listening to the Patriots on the radio or watching two teams I don't care about on TV, I would rather watch a game on TV than follow one I care more about on the radio.

I'm not saying you personally, but I think Jets fans in general are not being completely honest with themselves if they say that this organization doesn't make it harder and harder on their fanbase to continue an allegience to a team that is fast becoming a one way street.

I dont understand this? Rex personally called out the fans last season and got them involved. Fireman Ed was honored at some ceremony where he got a ball. Yes, it cost more to go to games now but what doesnt cost a lot in NYC? The NFL is the primo sport in the country and they are cashing in like any business would. I wouldn't be surprised to see pay per view post season NFL games in my lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A man and his wife owned a very special goose. Every day the goose would lay a golden egg, which made the couple very rich. "Just think," said the man's wife, "If we could have all the golden eggs that are inside the goose, we could be richer much faster." "You're right," said her husband, "We wouldn't have to wait for the goose to lay her egg every day." So, the couple killed the goose and cut her open, only to find that she was just like every other goose. She had no golden eggs inside of her at all, and they had no more golden eggs.
