[QUOTE="PackerTraxx, post: 12873, member: 146"] It would take a very intense and through organiation with a large following to have an effect. You would have to boycott games, boycott watching games, and boycott sponsors of the games. Then you would also have to show the sponsors, networks and teams that this is happening by their sales and ratings being effected negatively by, I would guess, 10-20% or more. Also you may need a write in campaign along with this. And that would have to happen, and maybe more, until the changes you want are accomplished. Myself and several people I know wrote off baseball because of the last strike and for the fact they have no salary cap, no even playing field between teams. I will not go to a game, I do not watch games, and I find it hard boycott their sponsors because they are everwhere. I started drinking Busch beer somtime back and wouldn't you know after a while they started advertising that. And some was on baseball. As far as I know baseball is still the same, except they can use steroids. Sports are just like a drug. When the NFL had a strike years back, darned if my world didn't keep going. In fact, that fall I did more hunting, fishing, sight seeing, got more exercise, spent less money, did more family things, paid more attention to my dogs, got more things done around the house and other things, than I had in the past. LA has not team and they seem to be normal, well close. But when the games came back there I was. That "drug" was back in front of me and I lapped it up like I had been suffering from withdrawl, while in fact I had had a pretty good time and got a lot of things done without it. Well here I am on a forum, my "new drug" that keeps me going with my football fix.Waiting for the season to start. I will be glad to join you people if you can come up with something that will really have an effect. :thumbsup: [/QUOTE]
