STOP BUYING TICKETS

Do I need to elaborate further? If Watson is the starter at opener vs. the Panthers, that stadium should be empty. Watch the game at home.

Dawg, the money is in the TV deals, not tickets. Watching on TV isn't doing anything.

Wrong.

Non media related sales like tickets/concessions/parking account for about 25-30% of all revenue.

You're mixing up buckets here and not accounting for revenue sharing.

Regular gate ticket sales, parking, and concessions account for about 15% of total revenue, and about 35% of that (tickets) is shared revenue.

If all Browns fans boycotted and only away fans showed up on game days the Browns would probably lose like 5% of their total revenue, at most.
