I'm boycotting.

No Bullshit. Just Real Raiders Talk!

I'm boycotting.

Postby DeadRinger » Tue Mar 19, 2013 8:11 am

I made the decision weeks ago that I'm not supporting this bullshit this season. What exactly does that mean?

1. No NFRL Sunday Ticket. If an OAK is televised I'll watch it, and I'll stream it if I can find it. But no $300 for Sunday Ticket.

2. No new merchandise. I'm not going to spend my usual yearly $200-$250 on new shirts, jerseys, mugs, etc. No fatheads, no calendars, no car accessories... Nothing new.

3. No game tickets or trips. Last year I spent a boatload to go see OAK lose to ATL. Probably somewhere around $500 total. I don't think they're coming anywhere close next season, but I've been invited to stay at a friend's in DEN and go see the game there. Not going to happen.

I'm fucking pissed. I'm just one wallet, but Mark Davis isn't going to torture me AND make money off me at the same time.

Tene, I was actually going to ask what your plans were. I figured you'd be there with me, you probably made the decision even before I did.

I'm also going to tell friends and family not to buy me Raiders shit for my birthday or Christmas. That's another $300 or so right there.

My friends and family won't be happy about that. Raiders shit was always an easy fallback if they couldn't think of anything to get me. :lol:

But I can't countenance supporting this kind of insanity. I won't have it.

To be honest...I haven't been to a Raider game since the 90's. I don't buy much Raider stuff either because we just weren't very good for a very long time. Now that the Raiders are going the wrong direction, it's hard for me to want to watch them play on TV. I know I will watch them, but I won't pay for it. So here's three wallets that the Raiders won't be making off us.

Damn! Mark Davis going to go hungry if yall don't buy something....I already bought a raider cap, wear one 7 days a week. I might miss this year on a jersey .
What will hurt Mark Davis the most is low game attendances.

im right there with you on purchases... for the last..... 5 years??? ive bought 2 jerseys a season... (2008, D.Hall, and bought my dad a lyle alzado) (2009, fargas and nnamdi) (2010, mcclain, seymour) (2011, special edition blacked out DMC, Jacoby Ford) (2012, Routt whom i bought a month before he was cut, never even got to wear the damn thing, and janikowski)

and in the midst of all those, i bought my g/f a pink DMC and a white nike DMC (she didnt want mcclain or seymour and last year dmc and those 2 were the only options in nike and white). so she has 2 dmc's and a palmer...

im sick of buying jerseys of up and coming players only for us to scrap them. d.hall cuz i thought he'd be a great cb. oops. alzado i got lucky on, cant go wrong with a throwback and my dad always talks about his meanstreak and thas what the raiders needed back in 08-09. so i bought him one that year)... fargas i loved for his heart. nnamdi was known for being the best. both gone. mcclain i bought right after he was drafted cuz everybody and their g/mother thought he'd be a stud. and seymour i bought cuz i loved how he talked about being in the silver and black and a few of my buddies are pats fans... DMC in special edition blacked out jersey i bought when hue was coach and made him amazing. jacoby ford has the amazing year where he personally won that KC game for us. looked to be a stud. routt i bought cuz nnamdi was gone and i figured he'd stick around for a long time, specially since he had just signed the monster deal... and jano, i bought him cuz i didnt know who to get and everybody knows jano...

im done. until we are a stable franchise. i cant do this jersey bs no more. i love repping my team... no matter if they are up or down.... but i got enough to make it thru a few years without any new shirts/jerseys/gear....

oh BTW, as to going to the games... last year i almost went to the buffalo game... would've been about a 6-8hr drive. but i ended up being on call and couldnt go. being near philly, dont get to see them play much..... although when they are around here they almost always lose :(. FML with this team sumtimes lol. i'll always rep them. down or up. but im done dropping big money on them until they show stability on not just coaches, but roster and winning.

I don't give a shit! I am going to at least 1 game a year to hang out with people! I plan to get a new raider jersey for Free via Credit Card Points. I plan to buy a custom No. 15 Raider Jersey, with AR as the last name. Will be bad ass!

I've been told that AR stands for Asshole Remover.
