    I see what you are saying. You feel bad for the idiots that promised money but can't afford it, but not for idiots that promised money but just don't want to pay it. Who makes that determination? What objective criteria do you propose to use to make that decision? How do you know who can afford it, and who is hiding money in the Caymans? How do you know that they really don't just want another Beamer? How do you know they don't have a child dying in the hospital? What the fuck does any of this have to do with business?

    Nothing. Business is business. A business in the business of not doing good business doesn't stay in business for long. Not running the business properly would be a disservice not only to the employees of the company (who you so conveniently ignored), but to the fans of the franchise. That is what you are suggesting. That and what you are really trying to say is that you don't like Daniel Snyder, which is fine. But stop beating around the bush and hiding behind affluent deadbeats and tell us the real reason.

    So why not rescind those peoples' tix that can't afford them, and then re-sell them to other people? Can that be done without suing?

    Sounds simple, but the process of selling tickets is an expensive venture...just ask the Jets FO. Again, it's bad business to allow a client to breach a contract regardless of personal circumstances. Not only do you have to expend the effort to find a buyer, but all the administrative costs that go along with it once you do...and even that is not guaranteed.

    You are asking an American company to do bad business, which as I explained earlier, can affect the lives of all the employees as well as, in this special case, the fan base, which could have negative effects down the road.

    This is all just a silly straw man argument in favor of those opulent contract breakers. Really man. It's not like they will go hungry. Even if they lose their million dollar house, they can sell them, buy a resonable one, and hopefully make better choices about the agreements they legally enter into.

    but why do you assume that all these people are rich. i know plenty of season ticket holders who are middle class. look i understand what u are saying buisness is buisness, im just sayin that many other owners are takin the hit and not suing who have a lot less money. To be honest wit u i could care less about snyder i dont know and really dont care cause he is in the nfc, but all im sayin it would be nice for him not to sue people who have lost alot.

    Please list these "other owners" and give sources.

    And the economic standing of the ticketholders shouldn't be at issue. That is the whole point. They made a promise and aren't keeping it. End of story.

    Could the 'skins be nice and let them out of their contracts and have Snyder take the hit? Sure, but that would make them extremely nice bordering on stupid. Contrarily, attempting to recoup the monies owed does not make them assholes, it just doesn't qualify them for Eagle Scout status.

    I think they might make an exception if you die, but if I hear he sued their estate he is a scumbag.

    But it sounds like yer assuming these people are all financially okay and just don't wanna pay for the tix.

    The article cites:
    So why sue them? Is there really no other alternative?

    My father was on the Jets season-tix list for 7 years and overall moved up the list about 100 spots. That's why I figured it'd be easy to rescind the tix and then sell them to the people in line waiting to purchase them
