OT: Bengals Didn't Even Bother Clearing The Seats For Fans Today

[VrabelJr]

Those owner$ win con$i$tently, the NFL money trucks roll up to their doors like clockwork.

Correct. We fans think owners care about winning. The majority do not. To them owning an NFL team is just a plaything to do on Sundays when the conditions are not ideal for taking their yacht out.

There's a fair sized group of owners for whom owning a team is their meal ticket as well as a nifty hobby. The McCaskey, Mara, Brown, Bidwill, Davis, Irsay, Adams (Strunk) and York families might well have to find legit gigs if it weren't for Big Shield's perpetual silver spoon.

Can the fans most notably Season Ticket Holders Sue??

 

[p8ryts]

That's a sick franchise.

Can the fans most notably Season Ticket Holders Sue??

IANAL, but I can say that AFAIK no past attempt to hold owners accountable for being f*ckwits has proven successful.

Because money can buy anything in their NFL World.

That it isn’t 32 out of 32 that care about winning is a problem.

The best thing for him is to get out. The Bengals are who we think they are.

Hard to figure out if the Ravens played really well yesterday or if the Bengals shut it down for the season after losing to Bills last week.

I'm guessing both.

At first I thought Florio was using photos from well before the game began for clickbait, but that doesn't appear to be the case.

Bengals face scrutiny for failing to clear snow from stadium seats

Fans at Sunday’s Cincinnati Bengals game were met with snow-covered seats after the team failed to clear Paycor Stadium before kickoff.

The league's response is standard lawyer/politician/PR dept empty words.

NFL issues comment regarding Bengals' failure to remove snow from seats

Many of the fans arriving for Sunday's Ravens-Bengals game found their seats covered with snow.

www.nbcsports.com

“The league’s football operations and security departments were in contact with the club and stadium personnel over the previous 48 hours regarding snow removal,” a league spokesperson said by email. “The field, sidelines, aisles and walkways were prioritized and appropriately cleared throughout the weekend.​

“Additional snowfall occurred overnight which resulted in minimal accumulation within the stadium bowl. Mitigation efforts were implemented to ensure the field and stadium were ready for the game. Stadium personnel assisted fans at their seats as necessary.”​

No mention of snow on the seats in that statement.

"Don't believe what you see with your own eyes, just believe what we tell you to believe."

Everyone who craps on Kraft supposedly being cheap has no idea what a lousy owner is. This is just another in a long line of examples of just how cheap Mike Brown is. As recently as a year ago Bidwill was (may still be) charging players for food. Both of their teams play in publicly funded stadiums

Hey, I'd be 100% ok with Kraft if they fried the Bologna (sandwiches). Cold bologna is just asking for an regulated output.

it should be an interesting off season in Cinci.
Does Burrow talk his way out?
Does Burrow talk ownership into a new direction with staff?
Does Burrow sit out the season and rejuvenate himself?

 

[Pape]

IANAL...

 

[captain stone]

Burrow is gonna quit watch

Yep.

Joe Not Cool is a ****ing selfish, stat-whore Loser (he ALONE is the reason they/we lost in Barfalo last week) and will Never win a championship. Never.

Indeed, the Sullivans did everything on the cheap, to everyone's detriment, including their own.

Pats players were out there shoveling snow off the seats at Fenway before a big nationally televised game in the AFL.

Against the Bills

 

[Actual Pats Fan]

That's Fraudger

 

[maust]

Sooo I'm not the only one that caught that, good to know. Thank you @Pape
Also how did THAT get past Tune?

I remember the post blizzard game in Foxboro vs. the Dolphins in 2003 where like 15k of us showed up and there was about four feet of snow that fell the night before into the morning. They weren't able to clear out snow in large sections just because of the shear volumes of snow in the stadium, but there were plenty sections that were completely cleared where everyone who wanted a seat had one.

The Bengals are too cheap to even clear that snow which was a fraction of what was there in the game in 2003.

I remember people sitting on 4 feet of snow in the stands. That was a difficult situation, the storm ended early Sunday morning, they did the best they could by game time.

Sat on a few inches of snow in Harvard stadium, concrete seats, 1970. My wife still complains about that game.
