and, the majority is speaking: the stands are full. There are a couple hundred tickets available for Sunday, all at of above face value.
Like many have said, sell the tickets or donate them to NOLA Boys & Girls Club.

This isn't about my opinion or anyone else's on the protests; it's about one fan seeking attention for his cause.

Fans absolutely get to choose what they approve of. Similar to how fans would react if the P.A. announcer got on the mic and started insulting fans, people have a right to make complaints about things that are particularly offensive to them. Fans pay the money, not the players. The players get paid because of the fans. Business 101: The customer is always right.

Does that mean that every grievance is legitimate? No. But this man is not in the minority.

And you are wrong about the majority. The negative feedback from the protests have far outweighed the positive. Not everyone has chosen to boycott, and of course that was to be expected. The more the NFL defies the wishes of it's audience, however, that will change quickly. Apparently you haven't noticed that in many places the attendance is down, and the TV ratings have been way down, all year. That is no coincidence for a league you believe is untouchable.

Lastly, he is not seeking attention. He has been GIVEN attention because of the Saints reaction and the media spreading the story.

As an accounting major I took all of those business courses, as well as economics, statistics and business law. In none of those courses is it taught that the customer is always right. To the contrary, the customer is in the wrong a great percentage of the time when complaints are levied. Legally the business isn't always required to give in. Economically, however, is the reason why some customers get their way even when they have not been wronged. If the cost associated to fight the claim outweighs the cost of giving in then "the customer is deemed being right" economically.

And you are wrong about the majority. The seats are being filled because the majority do not feel the protests are disturbing them enough to keep their butts out of the seats. THAT is a fact.

And, yes, he IS seeking attention. You are naive if you think he didn't know that filling that suit was going to hit the media in a huge manner. As a businessman he knew exactly what he was doing.

	If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
