Because it's easy to say what you would do, if only you were there. I live in West Palm, have a job, a wife , 2 kids and a life. This weekend, I'll be coaching my 5 year-old's flag football game, starting my kid in Sunday school, dealing with some work issues, and yeah I was looking forward to watching the game in a social environment with my neighbors and their kids. For me to "support my team" and go to the game, I'd have to give up the entire day to drive down early enough to park, blow off my kids' first day of Sunday school, and abandon my family, or at least part of it, for the entire day. It's one thing if you're single and live right around the corner, but it really sucks to be a family man living on the outer edges of the blackout area.
In general, I think it's just not reasonable for us to be held hostage by greedy owners through an exception to anti-trust laws (which were put in place to avoid this exact type of extortion). This is why I think public financing of stadiums is such a joke. San Diego tried the argument that since they financed the stadium, they shouldn't be subject to blackout rules. That was handily defeated.
For all those holier-than-thou out of towners that would go to every game if only they were here, either buy a ticket to help lift the blackout or shut up. I'm not interested in what you'd like to think you would do. I'm a hardcore Phins fan that's probably gonna miss the game now, so I'm just not in the mood.:yell:
