#CLOWNOUT

I'm enjoying every minute of it. They're seething. I'm elated. I'm going to wear a clown shirt.

Hard to argue with that.

Ordered mine today

The thing about this is that there is a lot of time to get the word out. Some support in the media would be great advantage, say for example a certain recently-returned weekend sports talker **cough**Sheppard**cough**. I think it is feasible to get enough folks into this for that first game.

It also could solve a question I've been wondering about, which is what to chant when Bobo shows up. A simple, deafening "CLOWN" would be great, it is succinct and would be as undeniable as the booing Bobo got at the trophy ceremony

Love that idea, but choreographing that would be impossible without the team's involvement to get the seat maps of all the ticket holders, or full access to place them before the gates open.

Needless to say, highly doubtful

@RelocatedPatFan - cool idea btw.

How about a printed tarp? Would they let us bring that in. We could have Thanks Pats on one side and the clown face on the other. When we bring it in we'll show security the thanks pats side.

We'll move on when we get our draft picks back plus 2 1st round picks as compensation for dragging Tom Brady's name through the mud.

Actually, we'll move on when we have a new commissioner.

Ian said:

Yes, but you'd have to know the seat numbers for the tickets and then try and chart it from the outside. I think it would be really tough to do it right. The goal would be to do both sides of the field...I just think it would be really tough to pull off. Although, again, I love the idea

If we could put a gofundme page going with an actual plan in place w/ Barstool where we raise enough $ for 70,000 fans at cost. That would be about $245k .. That would be realitively easy to hit.

It's a slam dunk for Barstool to sell us at cost due the PR they would get from it.

Your cool with accepting the loss of those draft picks and the loss to Tom Brady's reputation? Why?

One thing at a time. That's a crazy amount of money without a solid plan behind it. I'll keep working some emails and we'll see what we can come up with.

If it's just a cards/sheets to be held up, couldn't you just get permission from the Patriots and just tape them to the seats. No handing out, no messy coordination. Maybe the Patriots could even put a message on the screen about to inform everyone?

Unfortunately, that's unlikely. They'll never want to (or really, they can't) be involved, and we'd really need them in order to be able to do something like that. I LOVE this idea...just saying being able to execute it is probably not realistic due to that reason.

And it wouldn't hurt to hand out tiny horns to all participants either. Could you imagine the furor of a million honking horns at the Razor?

HUH? I gave the bottom line. We will never see those draft picks. I don't think Brady took a hit on his reputation. As a matter of fact, the media is proclaiming him the GOAT. Patriot fans will never move on until we have a new commissioner.

Be careful everyone, Felger and others in Boston media will tell you to "give it up already!" and to forget about Deflategate and just act like it never happened...

wish Felcher would do the same with his "career"...

How about gofundme to buy some airplane advertising with a Goodell clown banner, a Roger that banner and maybe something along the lines of 5 rings....

Still working on talking to some people and this is going to a little time and some emails, so give me a bit.

"Operation CLOWNOUT".

If I win Powerball Wednesday, I'll fill the stadium with those shirts on opening night.

The Gr8est said:

Over?

Did we get an admission of wrongdoing?
An apology from the NFL* or Omissioner?
Draft picks returned?

Not over, **** the NFL* !

BINGO!

Deus Irae said:

It would be pretty much impossible for a fans only movement to get those shirts out to everyone attending the game.

It does not need to be 100% And how hard can it be to get the word out on facebook, twitter, etc.

Barstool should make a really cheap, poor quality 1 or 2 washings version that can be sold cheaply. If not F* that A*hole! Everyone make a knock off, the more homemade looking the better and let that idiot sue every damn person stealing his idea.

Or he can cater to this demand, make money and be a hero.

And can the team prevent people from wearing a shirt to the game. Yeah, passing them out requires the team and exposes them to retribution - so leave the team out of it.

BTW, if the NFL makes them stop people from wearing their tee shirt, a topless crowd that needs to be explained by announcers works too. (Oh, we are talking early September.)

I live in GA, and wont be at the opener. I'd be happy to pay $20 somewhere to buy a shirt for someone - make it $25, do a 'buy one, donate one' thing where I get a shirt and another goes to the 'pool' to handout.

Buy the shirts on Alibaba or some cheap site like that, I bet you can get them cheap. Have to have volume though, otherwise it won't be impactful enough

Did you read that Portnoy? Make money and be a hero or have your copyright run roughshod over.

If you had a supporters trust like I said should have been sorted last off season then there would be a 60k email list and people paying subscription whereby they could get a clown t-shirt on renewal.

Get that trust recognised by the Krafts and and the team and then you could have access to the important season ticket email list.

That's how I would go about this.

Threatening Portnoy probably isn't the wisest way to get him to want to do this...just my humble opinion
