First, let talk about the scam or the ultimate marketing strategy.

The genius of the sporting world is naming sports teams by cities. The only reason people have any allegiance to a team it because it is named after the big city they grew up in, or by. In most cases, these teams are owned by big corporations and families and have no more importance to you that any big company located in your area. It is the name that does it. Would I be a huge Bears fan if is was the McCaskey Bears? I’m not so sure.

It is that power these teams have by naming themselves after big cities that leads to my next scam marketing strategy. The selling of merchandise. I have long had a rule against buying any sports merchandise. If fact, I have got a hard time in the past at the company I work for when they had a Bears/Packers day and I didn’t wear a Bears shirt. Here is my thought. People are paying 5 times or more for a shirt for the privilege of wearing a corporate advertising logo on it. You’re a walking billboard for a large, money making machine and you paid a huge amount of cash to do so. Genius.

And now these players and owners, millionaires and billionaires are fighting over money and could give a damn about you. Why? They know you are loyal and you flock like sheep to go back to the game. You’ll stand in line to pay $9 for a beer and won’t think twice about it. People pay for personal seat license, which gives them the right to buy a fucking seat! PAY FOR THE RIGHT TO BUY A SEAT! think about it. And no mater how this works out, the game will eventually be played again and the prices will go up and YOU WILL PAY. You are paying men to play a game with your hard earned money. Prices will go up and you might bitch a little but you will standing in line and buying a shirt for $75 and think you got a deal.

For me, it is time to let it go. I might watch a game on TV if I have nothing better to do but going to a game? Hell, even if I wanted to, I couldn’t afford it.

So I have read and heard that some people are upset over the police use of the Taser gun on the “fan” that ran onto the field in Philly. This asshole deserves to get tasered and more. Fuck him. This jerk thinks it is funny to run around like an idiot. Do you think those fan paid a small fortune to have the night interrupted by you , you fucking prick!

Hey drunk bastard who ran onto the field, your lucky that is all that happened to you!

This fucker actually called his dad and asked for permission. “Hey Dad, can I be a total fucking moron and run onto the field, interrupting the game for all the fans? Can I be that stupid, Dad?”

Actually the real conversation went like this, according to the Dad and the RealGm website

Wayne Consalvi told the newspaper that his son was not drinking and he wasn’t on drugs. Steve Consalvi is “a real good student, heading to Penn State,” his father added.

“I don’t recommend running on the field, but I don’t think they should have Tased him at all,” he told the newspaper
