That seems a good place to start. Not to sound negative, but this team is owned by an arrogant cheapskate, managed by a moron, coached by an idiot, and trolled by a creamsicle. They pretend this is the best of all possible worlds, so there is no need for change. DC media reps don't confront them about the obvious. The organization has insulated itself from external criticism. Terd is willing to accept credit for any team success, but financial gain and delusional ego fapping are the goals, and he obviously doesn't know the first thing about basketball.
So how the **** do you get his tone deaf attention? As Professor PIF has pointed out many times, it's all about the money. He won't be blaming that on injuries, and if he's losing some money, someone's gonna get **** canned.
TGW's threatening to not renew, dandridge declined to renew, dobrojim is going from two tickets to one. I recall at least one other person writing here recently that they were declining renewal, and several others on the fence. Make this the thread for people who have (this year or in the past) declined to renew, especially because of Terd n EGg, and for people who are thinking about it. Maybe a poll can be added. And maybe we can keep millie out. Can you do a thread specific ban? If not, I recommend that everyone put him on ignore right now, so he doesn't clutter up the thread with OT crap like Terd's shiny heinie. Shut up, creamsicle, the adults are talking (and when the adults are monte and AFM, you're a sad little boy).
After 20+ years of sporadic ticket buying (remember when you could get those discount tickets through Costco?), my wife and I had a partial season plan for I think 8 years. It was an accumulation of factors that led me to not renew, including Terd, that cheap little clip joint canary (and yes, he is personally responsible), substituting Sixers tickets for the LeBJ Heat tickets I paid for, without permission or even notice. When I confronted the ticket agent (Marvin or whatever his name was) he apologized and sent me Bobcats tickets. ************* Bobcats tickets! That team won 8 games! Why not just send me a bowl of ass! That should have been enough, but I was still open to renewing. But then they started pressuring me: after 8 years in the same seats on a partial plan, they said I had to buy a full season to keep those seats. They said they didn't raise the prices that year. They lie! But still, I was open to renewing. As that miserable lockout shortened season (a lockout that Terd was key in instigating), with the draft picks looking like crap and the Nene acquisition advertising that Terd was quite flexible (pretty reckless) with his 10-point plan, I was still open to renewing. But then, finally, it became obvious that EGg wasn't going anywhere, and he traded for Okafor and Ariza to prove it. **** team rebuilding, let's put a passable mediocrity on the floor, call it a playoff contender, and surround it with platitudes about veteran leadership and learning to win.
So I didn't renew. **** those ********. I get to watch games on TV in pink spandex while doing bong hits. My cat can watch too (she doesn't smoke weed). I don't need that pukified Phone Booth and its lousy food. I just stopped giving Terd my money, and man did it feel great! I could have gone to games, but as long as it was Terd n EGg (and Witt) it always felt like fool's gold, even in the playoffs. It always felt like fake, Madison Avenue success, a reprise of past Grunfeld peaking-just-above-average teams.
BOYCOTT WIZARDS TICKETS! Post your overwrought Wizards tickets melodramas here. You too creamsicle, because we just PMed each other and now we all have you on ignore. If you have tickets, don't renew, and tell all your friends to do the same.

Maybe if they get enough negative anti-Grunfail poll results, Ted will get the message. I basically said I'm not buying tickets unless he's fired.
PS: Mods, feel free to merge this into one of the other BOYCOTT WIZARDS TICKETS! threads. And you're still on ignore, creamsicle.
