This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Maybe I misspoke by Chicagond99
If people can't make it to as many games because of life events, I 100% understand. I used to go to 3-4 home games every year (at least), and also try to find a compelling road game as well. But now I am older and have kids and other responsibilities, so it's a lot harder to do that. And if you do have less time because of those things, often your wife or girlfriend or partner may want to socialize with adults at a dinner or something, and not always revolve life around sports. That's normal as people get older.
I assume that's the case for many people (be it watching on TV or going in person). I'm just calling out people who CAN go to games and normally would want to, but are mad about Kelly, or some changes to the stadium, or the offense, and thus they boycott the stadium.
