Boycott

Are you tired of an ineffective management? Are you tired of spending your hard earned money on a team only to watch them dry hump the cap floor night in and night out? Are you tired of being taken advantage of by the penny pinching billionaire who doesn't even bother to show up and watch the team he owns? I sure am. I'm tired of being the team predicted to be last. I'm tired of trying to prove the critics wrong. I want to prove the critics right. I want to have that team the critics rave about. But what, as fans, can we do about it? We all have our own plans that we would implement if we were GM but the problem is that none of us are/will ever be GM. While each has his own theory about how to fix this team we can all agree on one thing: something must be done.

I propose a boycott. Since management chooses not to invest the money to build a winning team why should we choose to waste our time watching it. We should send a message to management that we are tired of it.

I think that we need to pick a game and simply treat it like it doesn't exist. Let management watch their ratings plummet for one game. Stick it to the man!

A picket on the street out in front of the Pepsi Center might be fun. It would give the local media something to show on the 10:00 news.

#OccupyPepsiCenter?

Just a Colorado girl in Montana who ♥s the Avs.
Varly: you're awesome. We love you. Please don't break.

I had a sad feeling, thinking you beat me to this. Checking the time stamps, I beat you by a couple of hours. Whew.

Would the local media cover it?

Datsyuk may have done it first, but he learned it from Peter Forsberg.

Thanks for everything Foppa!

Isn’t this what most people in Denver are already doing?

exactly…. worst case they say “see, nobody here cares about hockey”, and suddenly the Avs are the Nordiques again

A well-publicised demonstration might attract attention. Especially if you informed the news crews before doing it.

However, without publicity, Enos wouldn’t know any differently, he would just assume “24” was being rerun on Fox.

Based on attendance, I’d say the boycott has been underway for about 5 years now.

When does the hurting stop?
