Here’s a longer than usual excerpt to get you roped into the Must Read of the Day. A good argument from Mark Healey. I obviously don’t agree, but I enjoy the respectful discussion. Be sure to read Again, I Choose The Mets.
MetsPolice.com is easily one of my favorite sites on the internet, and its owner, Shannon Shark, is a tremendous fellow. Howard Megdal is one of the most intelligent, thoughtful and clever writers I have had the pleasure of working with. Steve Keane is a tenacious Mets fan who blogs from his heart and isn’t afraid to mix it up with anyone.
But these three great Mets fans – and others who I have chatted with on Twitter and Facebook — are not only buying tickets to see the Mets in 2012, they don’t seem to agree with my stance on not doing so.
I don’t understand any of them. I love ‘em, but don’t understand them at all.
I understand their happiness with the Mets’ decision to celebrate their 50th anniversaty by finally “ditching the black”. I comprehend their joy at the return of Banner Day. I can also relate to their satisfaction and feelings of validation with the growing inclusion of the blogging community by the organization.
My contention with these fine people comes down to their unwillingness to understand why I believe that to continue to attend games at Citi Field while the Wilpon / Katz ownership group remains in possession of the club is counterproductive.
There’s much more to the article as Mark lays out his case. Must read: Again, I Choose The Mets.
