Bully Can No Longer Support the Flyers
After a weekend of three of the worst games I can remember these heartless jackasses playing, the phone rings this morning.
It’s the Flyers season ticket droid. She wants to know how I’m doing. Sorry to bother you but we need an answer on whether you want to keep your season tickets that have been in your family for 41 years. I know we just called last week to tell you your seats would be increasing more than 125%, but we really need an answer. Are you committed, she asks. (This is called the hard sell. Pressuring a person to spend money. Unwarranted deadlines. Pressure, pressure, pressure. Usually found in illegal enterprises, scams and assorted fraudulent activities).
I guess 41 years to a 23 year old droid is lackluster commitment. Hell, it surely means little to Lukko, Snider and other guys who have gotten rich off of guys like me.
All she needs is a commitment. Do I want to keep the tickets. They are $73 this year but going up to a face value of $225 next year. Normally you pay in September and August but we need you to put 5% down now and you will have to start paying in May.
It’s just a monthly payment of $6,000, she says. And she is serious.
Over the weekend I thought that for $0 I could put a lawn chair in front of my trash cans and watch my own garbage for free. So why would I pay these jackasses another dime of my family’s money to watch their garbage. I mean, let’s face it: That’s what is has been for a long time. Garbage on ice.
At one point I thought Snider gave a shit. He doesn’t. When he came with his tin cup is his hand in 1966 to my uncle and asked him to invest in a dream, he did invest. Now, 41 years later Snider is rich as rich gets and well, he’s still greedy and still largely an asshole.
Last week I phoned the Flyers mother ship to complain about the ticket hike. The guy I spoke with said I was being disrespectful to “Mr. Snider.” Laying out thousands of dollars a year is disrespectful, now, eh? Hell, I’ve paid more into the Flyers than that clown on the phone will ever hope to make working for them. Just pay and keep your opinions to yourself. That’s the message.
I will again make this statement: the Flyers have not won a cup in 33 years and counting because they treat their fans like crap. They take, take, take and give little in return. There is a such thing as karma. And the Flyers have an arena full of bad karma.
Their latest ploy to get rid of guys like me will only add to that. Winning games will not change that. This is a franchise of losers because they way they treat their core fans. They can spin it all they want.
To me it doesn’t really matter whether other fans figure it out or not. It is only truly important that after all these years, and hundreds of thousands of dollars, that I have.
Fuck the Flyers.
My satisfaction and/or redemption is found in this simple truth:
You will NEVER win another Stanley Cup.
But that likely shouldn’t matter to you because it’s just about the money. That’s all your about.
You have failed every year since 1975 to win. That’s your true Legacy. And every year you will add to it.
I’m changing the site name from BroadStreetBully.com as well. I do not want to be associated with a franchise of losers and greedy assholes.
You lost a good fan, boys. And I’m not coming back.
