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.

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.

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… Read more »

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.

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… Read more »

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…
