In the first quarter of the final replacement refs game—you know, the intertouchdownception game—I saw a fan sitting in the stands behind the end zone, holding a sign that said, “SCABS!” And I thought…the owners wouldn’t care if every seat had a fan holding that kind of sign, as long as those seats were full. Because yeah, that sign is bad PR, but that fan also paid for a ticket, paid for parking, paid for concessions, etc. etc. And that’s all they REALLY care about.
