So I’m a clueless moron because I feel that you should take responsibility for your own life & well being and not depend on anyone or thing for handout unless you are truly unable to take care of yourself. Truly, I am feel sorry for anyone who has lost their job because it has moved elsewhere or if you’ve been victimized by a bad economy or by circumstances that you have no control over, I can understand that jobs are hard to find, especially if you do not have a marketable skill and I understand that even those with marketable skills in some cases are still having a hard time in this economy, that still doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take responsibility and do whatever it is you can do to either change your situation or make your situation better. Take a class at the local JUCO, go online and learn a new skill, apparently you all have the internet, there are free online classes for everything, hell Stanford University allows you to audit their classes for free online. Yeah, I’m a moron, I can see that.

941 and flmike are clueless morons insulting people. I finished high school and went to college as well. Unfortunately my profession has taken a nosedive. Cant move and leave family behind and abandon them like you guys, so get off your high perch and go cheer for some other team.

flmike- “I have moved multiple times to advance my career, and I plan on doing it again.” We hope you move sooner than later and dont let the BUC door hit you in the ass. Yes I am trying to insult you…just like you did to us whether u meant it or not.

941- Get a grip with your attitude MR BIG TIME first time season tik holder. OOOhhhh!!! BFD! The reality is NOT all of us can be season ticket holders right now. Feel blessed you can but dont shat on the rest of us who can afford only to go to a game per year or less.

The NFL is really missing the mark from a marketing perspective. There should be no blackouts during preseason. The consumer should be able to SEE the product (hamburger or steak as referenced earlier) PRIOR to purchase. Ya wanna entice me….score 3 touchdowns in the first half with the 1st teamers for once. Right now, the product is sub standard! SHOW ME DIFFERENT!

Im hardly blaming everyone. I am speaking facts about my situation. You act like Im some poor lazy slob who just wants to cry and take handouts. I’ve actually done very well for myself other than jobs hitting the layoff mine every 3 years. I own real estate (a few of them rentals, which is why I wont move) and the only debt I have is school loans (under 10k). I started with nothing, no help from anyone.

My original point was not everyone can afford tickets and the entire cost of going. I understand that. Theres many factors that are different and go deep into everyone’s situations. It seems to me the people who look down on others like that never had to face family, health, or employment struggles. Therefore its easy for them to look at it the way you do.

I wasn’t trying to insult anyone. I’m just so tired of hearing people blame everyone else for their problems, it’s Obama, it’s greedy bankers, it’s my boss, etc. Hey if things aren’t working for you, maybe it’s you, if it’s the area you live in, move, I have moved multiple times to advance my career, and I plan on doing it again.

Keep guessing and assuming flmike. I went to college, machining. If you want to call tool and die work an unskilled labor, then go for it. Say what you have to and try to feel almighty and right. Keep that nose up in the air and thumbing it at people below you. That really speaks volumes (smh).

School is an option for everyone, it’s free for the first 13 years, now, what you did or didn’t do with that free education is up to you. My life wasn’t blessed, but I was blessed with people around me who instilled the value of an education. After the second layoff I think I would have gotten the idea that being an unskilled laborer in a factory isn’t exactly the road to prosperity that it used to be…

Its simply ridiculous that the NFL expects fans to pay full “Steak” price for “ground beef” games. Then when people say “no, I cant afford $250 to take me and my 2 kids to a game and have some food”, they black it out.

I get regular season games…but pre season…really??

Wish I had the perfect lives of flmike and 941buc. Manufacturing is about all thats around where I live and because of NAFTA, Ive been laid off 4 times in 10 years. So its my fault the greedy company wanted to move jobs to china and mexico paying $1 an hour. And not everyone can go the military route because of health conditions. Oops, my fault again. And if I lived in Tampa, I would try to make a game or 2 with cheap seats. But not every Buc fan there can afford that. Guess its there fault too according to flmike and 941. I wish everyone was as blessed as you two. You guys just dont get it.
