The vast majority of us are in absolute disgust. While we may all differ in our opinions as to WHAT the problems are...we can all recognize that serious problems DO exist with our beloved Miami Dolphins. At the seasons end - there is nothing worse than the feeling that we will be right where we find ourselves right now exactly a year from now. What can we possibly do to help our team so that this does not happen?
I mean...can we actually DO anything? In all seriousness...no. We cannot make a direct impact. That power resides in the man that MANY of us believe to be an inept owner, a GM who inherited a mess, and a coach that many of us believe to be part of the problem as well. However...we CAN apply pressure on them through our actions. We CAN get the media to take notice and perhaps they will make our agenda their own.
Who is with me? Who is sick of just venting on Fin heaven, witnessing others do the same, and engaging in pointless debates that will amount to absolutely nothing?
Im calling on every fan to be an active ingredient to MAKING OUR VOICES heard. Do we have PASSION as a fan base? Let's show the NFL that we do. I've seen airplanes and billboards carrying messages, people protesting in massive numbers, and various other ways that fans have united in their sports town to make their voices heard. There is NO reason that we cannot do the same.
OBJECTIVE: To make our (the fans) voices heard. To draw media attention that will take our cause and showcase it. Ultimately, to draw others to our cause, and through massive numbers, and marketing campaigns, we make Steven Ross and his subordinates AWARE of our displeasure and inspire change in the right direction.
FIRST - we must determine our primary cause. (What change/changes are we looking for that is realistic and worthy of putting our time and energy into?) Let's debate the issues in this thread, and arrive at a general consensus of what everyone wants to see addressed the most.
SECONDLY - we need to organize a group that is willing to put time, energy, and even resources into seeing this goal realized. If I see enough support in this thread, I will reach out to all individuals by PM, and begin the establishment of a legitimate entity. Essentially, I will be organizing a "council," as it were...of individuals who will be committed to the cause - capable of funding, marketing, and organizing events that will carry our message. I will organize a more effective means of communication among ourselves (e.g. Skype, email, etc)
ITS TIME - Upon the creation of the council, we plan and execute ways to voice our cause. We recruit others to join us through the local community, social media, and other dolphins outlets. We collectively fund effective marketing techniques, e.g. Billboards, plane messages, etc. and organize protests in massive numbers. We attempt to reach the attention of the local media by all means - effectively having them make OUR agenda their own. This is our grand goal.
If we succeed then we might ACTUALLY put pressure on Ross and indirectly have an impact on our team... I welcome any of you to make this thread a place for you to network, and organize ways of making your own causes a reality.
You might ask how a guy in Hawaii thinks he can organize fans in the Atlantic. Well... I am an accomplished entrepreneur, and quite used to conducting my business overseas. Besides financial support, I think I have a lot to offer...but I need you locals to help make this all a reality.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So...on to it. What is our main potential causes to rally for? I have a few ideas...
- Steven Ross to sell the team. "He cares more about michigan than us," "congrats on getting Harbaugh to Michigan Ross, but have you forgot your own team?" Etc. would be effective ways to get the media intrigued with a story. Of course, it's a pipe dream that he will sell...lol, but it's a way to pressure him to listen to whatever other thing we want addressed.
- Fire Joe Philbin...not realistic again...but we can mostly all agree he has lost the locker room, and is inept as a game day coach.
- Fire Coyle ...absolutely pathetic in crunch time and December was a disaster. Geno tearing us up is final straw.
- Cut/trade the traitor Mike Wallace.
****What are your thoughts? Please do not make this a debate over the causes themselves - but rather - WHAT cause is worthy to rally behind and will get the most support?
