You’re welcome to not spend money on the team if you want. The Wilpons won’t see a dime anyway, no matter what you spend, since the team is losing money. Winning solves the Mets problems, losing exacerbates it. Nothing you do will change that. If you can give up the enjoyment derived from going to see a game, that’s fine. Just remember you’re also withdrawing your support from Ike Davis. David Wright will notice when he hits a walk-off grand slam and there are only 12 people cheering. Do you think he’ll remember that when he becomes a free agent at the end of one of the next two seasons? Did Jose Reyes notice how empty it was in front of his supposedly loving fans in September while he was chasing Mets history?
Some people phrase it as “Choose the Mets, not the Wilpons”. To me that means enjoying Mets baseball whenever I can get it and not worrying about who the owner is. I derive no joy from who owns the Mets, or who runs the Mets. All I keep thinking is that if the Wilpons selling is so important to you, you’d almost have to be disappointed if the Mets went on a miracle run and went to the World Series, because the resultant cash flow could cement them as owners. So I’ll stick to hoping for that miracle run and let the financial stuff shake out where it may.
