With the exception of Phil Mushnick (of course) the mainstream media has more or less been giving The Giants a free pass on the PSL’s.
The Times finally got around to it today, with a great piece – although I feel like I write the same thing a month ago (“Open Letter To…” over there on the left side of the website).
Anyway, it’s good to have more people fighting the good fight.
For the record I don’t have Giants tickets, nor am I a fan. It’s just wrong.
Today the Times wrote about this ghuy:
He is 75, a former union lithographer, a gourmet cook by avocation, a passionate sports fan who is furious at the fan-gouging sports world in general and the Giants in particular, with good reason. He is one of the die-hards who got into Yankee Stadium 40 years ago, followed his team to the Yale Bowl and Shea Stadium and stayed in, for the last 32 in Giants Stadium, without complaint.
“There is nothing wrong with the place we’ve been playing in,†Palma said. “Why the heck did we have to move in the first place?â€
Amen brother. The entire piece is here: Times Writes About Giants PSL’s.
Prices May Send a Giants Fan to the ExitThe Giants’ decision to implement personal seat licenses in their new, $1.6 billion stadium will cost them the loyalty of long- time fans who refuse to pay more for tickets.
