Should Saints Fans Sue?

NFL lockout: Cleveland Browns fan sues NFL, citing seat license contract - ESPN

There may be an argument there ... perhaps it should be all of the fans collectively. Or should all of the fans unionize and have a seat at the very same table currently locked out to players?

no the way i would like to see fans send a message stop buying merchandise from NFL Shop it would send a message to the NFL the fans as well as players deserve something too we should get tickets prices cut 35% so all fans can afford to go to games I go to 3 a year driving from Shreveport. come down on merchandise so it can be affordable to all fans and most of all I get the Sunday Ticket every year come Down 50% because SAINTS fans live all over the nation as well as fans of the other 31 teams can afford to wacth all of the games live from where they live the fans is who should have the say so because we are there bread and Butter period ? I would like to hear from the rest of the Black and Gold Family members What you think of an idea like this and how could we tell this to the nfl in person

Already doing it, brah. The quality of merch has gone way down, while the prices have skyrocketed. Same story everywhere. People act like the "little guy" has no power. The little guy IS THE POWER. In a commodity driven society based on consumerism, the ultimate power is held by people buying or not buying things. It's not that people have no power; it's that they don't exercise the power they DO HAVE.

I had to laugh-- I got an email from the NFL shop this weekend,
saying "all jerseys 10% off". REALLY?!? TEN WHOLE PERCENT?!?
I deleted the email and unsubscribed from the mailing list.
Those jackarses. What an insult. TEN PERCENT. What a joke!!!!!

How much money would be get, cuz if we don't get no money it ain't worth it.

I don't live in Louisiana, but I know that tax money goes to the organization. I'd at least sue to not have to pay it if there are no games. As far as organizing to sue I think if you invest in seat license or season tickets you should get a refund. I don't think we would get anything for pain and suffering being saint fans as long as we have been. We are used to pain and suffering.

I agree, we've been suffering for a long time and they haven't offered to give us anything for that yet so why would they now.
