I object to the black and white nature of the dilemma. One can pick a middle ground. I know plenty of people who said they were pissed following the strike in 1994 and swore they wouldn't go back. Some of them have kept their promise and some of them went back a few years later. That being said, if I used to go to ten games a season and now go to one then am I not hurting the organization in their pocketbook? If I no longer subscribe to cable (and therefore don't contribute to the television boondoggle) then have I not hurt the bottom line? Looking at box scores and coming to messages boardsĀ is free. In his eyes, whether I follow the team and don't pay or have stopped following the team is the same to him financially.
