On the one hand, this is dumb. In isolation it's dumb. In the current societal context it's really dumb. Protesting the low taxes paid and higher prices charged by the organization as revenue and valuation continues to explode would be better. A couple rich dudes losing their jobs so another pair of dudes just like them can take over and operate subject to the whims of ownership and the inherent unpredictability of talent evaluation/health/chemistry/competition season by season? Not so important.
On the other hand, fans have been expressing these discontents with each other for years. Getting out and..."protesting"...is something different. It's a better impulse than complaining about it in their private lives. So if there's a lesson about organizing that people can glean from the experience, maybe it's not so bad.
I'd still rather know that kid is paying attention to his poli sci and not feel like we're edging closer to an idiocracy.
