Not showing up doesn't hurt Mike Brown. He makes his money off TV.
I'm not judging. I'm not showing up either.
I dunno, man. Like I said before, I think the Browns really might've been naive enough to think that bringing Marvin back wouldn't have a lasting impact on fan support. Obviously it has, and they've been busting their rear ends trying to hawk tickets since the preseason. Big ad campaign was on TV constantly. Those ads aren't free. A team with fan support doesn't need a big ad campaign to sell tickets, and a team with solid fan support doesn't need to shell out money for TV ads.
They're hurting. Believe it, or don't, but they want people in the stadium buying their stuff.
Their worst case scenario is playing out in realtime. They were hurting when the year started and the team was doing well. Attendance was still shitty. Now they are hemorrhaging, and the team has a very real chance at not winning again in 18.
They need to clean this mess up. They may not need the money, but I doubt anyone who cares about it that much wants to keep flushing it down the toilet, and that's what they've been doing for the last 11 months.
