I'll be renewing again because I enjoy going to the games. I enjoy pro football and the Bengals are my team. I don't get my personal self-worth tied up in it like some folks do. I'm not giving up the seats that have taken me decades to get into under the delusion that it's going to teach Mike Brown some kind of lesson.
The irony of Marvin Lewis is that his greatest achievement has been making fans believe that if they could just be rid of him they could plug in their dream coach and start winning playoff games in no time. The truth is that "Bengals Head Coach Paul Alexander" is probably about as likely as whoever you had in mind.
If Brown had dumped Lewis, even if he hadn't promoted Paul Alexander into the job it's assured that he would have kept all of the control he has had including keeping favorites like Alexander on staff. The team would have settled for a coach who was willing to do without that control to get a foot in Head Coaching door. Even if Lewis doesn't get them a playoff win in the next two years I'm hopeful that this small victory will create a better environment for whoever comes next.
This is about as well-reasoned a response as to "why to keep your tickets" as anything else on here
