More than 80 percent of season-ticket holders opted out of 2020. MSN says it’s so they can stay safe. Is it safe from the virus or the kneeling?
Maybe it’s the grant for Planned Parenthood or the support for kneeling during the anthem, disrespecting our flag and our nation?
According to ESPN’s Rob Demovsky, Packers president Mark Murphy says more than 80 percent of season-ticket holders have opted out of the 2020 season.
Murphy told Packers.com that it influenced his decision to play at least the first two games of the season without fans at Lambeau Field.
“The fact that that high a percentage of our fans were not comfortable coming to games was a factor that weighed into my thinking,” Murphy said.
Lambeau Field consistently sells out for every Packers home game, and there are more than 100,000 fans on the season-ticket waiting list despite Green Bay being the NFL’s smallest city.

It’s actually that there wouldn’t be fans.

Is it the virus? Or do they have few fans left?
They have no fans left. We are opting out of football completely. To Hades with them all.
Packers season tickets are the most cherished in the nation. That’s a bad sign for the league.
As a long time fan, I now cheer for the league’s demise.
I heard someone say that NFL is the acronym for No Fans Left
The only folks who I am going to have any sympathy for at this point are the wage earners. Those who work at the stadiums at the concessions stands, clean the restrooms, the parking lot attendants, etc… . But the wealthy celebrity class athletes, managers, and owners who used the sports industry as a political soapbox are basically reaping what they have sown. Tragic, the fans pay good money to watch the game and get away from the headaches and heartburn of 21st Century politics, so it was only inevitable that such a boycott would take its toll.
So glad sports fans are finally standing up for their country and giving those privileged players who kneel during our National Anthem a swift kick.
Was a Redskins fan for 50 years but NO MORE I have HAD IT WITH THE PROGRESSIVES
NFL, NBA, MLB have died and never likely to be revived. Hope theplayers enjoy their 9-5 jobs and the owners can salvage something out of bankruptcy. The local markets in Houston are selling sports paraphenalia for 70% off and its still sitting on the shelf
9-5 Jobs? These entitled jerks won’t take a job and if they do the axiom, “Too many people quit looking for work after they get a job.” will apply to them. Maybe somebody could start a new game show that pitted former NFL, NBA, MLB, etc. heroes against each other in contests as to which one of them can pull the wheels off their new homes the fastest. Or maybe another one that could see who could keep their 30yr old sub compact import car running the longest without using a mechanic which they can no longer afford. And it’s not that I’m jealous of the money they make playing their meaningless games in taxpayer funded playpens, I’m not, I adhere to the 10th Commandment. I just wouldn’t mind seeing these self important jerks brought down a few notches and thrown off their pedestals because, not only don’t they appreciate the country that enabled them to get the wealth they have, more importantly they display contempt for our country and our flag which represents what our country stands for. And have no respect their fans who do love our country.
About time “conservatives” realize that they CAN control the outcome of this “covid Plan-demic” and also infuse some “reality” on the high priced Hollyweirdos and “professional” players by voting assiduously with their wallets…
Well said.
