I think as Fans of the Buccaneers we should get together and protest this lockout at one Buccaneer. Lets pick a date before the draft. Let us come together as a whole nation of Bucs fans and let everybody know we as fans need football this upcoming year. Rise up and lets do somthing about this! We are the ones who pay for this game to happen. Without the fans the NFL would have no revenue. So as a group of loyal fans and paying customers, lets rise off or asses and take a stand to make sure this season happens! Tampa Bay Buccaneers for Life!!!

Yeah, Great idea
(this is not a great idea)
Aye, business is business and money is money i never said we were friends.
Haha
Don’t be mean man.
But seriously, they have hundreds of sites for this, they’re hundreds of petitions… Owners and Players know where we stand, they’re trying to work it out and going into mediation Thursday.
Colts vs Bucs Super Bowl, it's going to happen
If i had a dime for every petition i signed that didn't work, i would be a millionaire.
Seriously, petitions rarely work.
Aye, business is business and money is money i never said we were friends.
Not yet....
I admire your spirit DRusinik, and never let it be said that I don’t enjoy a good tailgate/angry mob protest complete with pitchforks and burning effigies, but I just don’t think this will accomplish anything.
As Candlebox said, the owners and players know where the fans stand. Have faith that the owners—who are underplaying their concern for revenue loss that a prolonged lockout would cause—to make some concessions and end this thing before too long.
But hey, if we start missing games, I’ll drive us to One Buc myself.
good idea... but when was the last time the Owners payed attention to us fans?
the only time they do is when we don’t show up in the seats for game day. And when that happens the owners swear they need to move to a fan-friendly market and a city gullible enough to cough up $2 billion to build a tax-paid stadium.
I too believe in the power of boycotting, but I’d prefer more effective means of attack. Like, say, filing racketeering charges against the NFL owners who pretty much operate like the Mafia… >:-)
The 2010 Bucs: Considering their two-minute offense works wonders... Why can't EVERY offensive drive be run like that during the other 58 minutes of the damn game?!
I'm pretty sure I will not be doing this.
Corporations, sports teams, service organizations understand one thing; money. Showing up and yelling does nothing. If people stop going to the games or there is a generalapathy towards the NFL, the league will notice. But Im not sure a few doen people showing up and screaming gets much done, particularly when its not the Glazers alone, its the owners. We have no idea, perhaps the Glazers want a deal done today.
As you can always expect come from behind victory is when you least expect it.
The Glazers have been amazingly quiet about it all anyway
They don’t seem to be playing a big role in this whole labor thing.
To be fair to the Glazers
they’re probably a bit distracted, what with Manchester United playing Chelsea today and all.
Those Man U supporters can keep on protesting about the Glazers
But ManU just keeps on winning. Sadly (I don’t like Man U, nothing to do with the Glazers).
They can win all they want
But as long as a “Yank” is heading up their club, they’ll keep protesting. Sad really.
Perhaps we should try holding our breath in unison...

I can't boycott, and I won't. I've already paid for over half of my season tickets for this coming season.
I boycott, I lose my seat, which would suck cause I sit in the shade, and I’m pretty sure there’s some very tiny writing that says you ain’t getting your money back no matter what.
Could I sue? Probably, but I couldn’t afford to go through all that mess and would I really have a case? I’m paying for football games that aren’t gonna happen, and the price keeps going up (I didn’t get a discount).
I'm not negative, I'm just telling you how it is.
Fans are suing
Along with players. I doubt it would get through before the lockout is lifted and they’d probably want to get that over bfore the draft.

We want their product - and they know it.
Even if there is a work stoppage, we will forgive instantly and get in line again, as always.

We are really a fraction of what the NFL is
A lot of the money is made from adds and sponsors, publicity, ect. Not even every fan refusing to watch the game and go to the games would do little because 50000 people buying 60$ tickets isn’t a lot compared to what they make off of endorsments.
