    Looking back, the 14 mil Frank was receiving for half of parking seemed too much, now it seems like the paper that Walters, Magic, and Kasten wipe their asses with. Also, they have all but guaranteed that Frank has no say in anything field related and ensured that all moves after his departure make them the superstars are him the douche. Perhaps they are keep him around for people to laugh at. He is like the court jester being paid to dance, sing, and take punches.

    eh, they kept him around because they had too. The fucker's ego wasn't going to allow him to sell the team AND go away. Fuck him, i'm glad he's near enough to witness this shit.

    It's like if you had a girl, you thought you fucked her good and you were proud. Then she dumps you and she gets a guy that fucks her better, only you have to watch her get off unlike anything you ever caused!

    I hope Frank's seeing us fans getting off!

    I understand why people were/are pissed about Frank still being somewhat involved with the team; but my main thing is winning. I wouldn't care if Fidel Castro owned the Dodgers, just win a fucking championship.

    maybe i should create a thread to remind people how stupid this thread is. glad you are enjoying the current situation but what exactly have we done yet? sounds to me like its as good as over to you.
    truly fans like you might be reason enough to finally pack it in as a dodger fan.
    the fact that you don't get why some of us have an issue with frank still being involved in any way makes us stupid bitches?
    thats some psd garbage right there. expected more out of you man. you're the king :whack:

    But to complete the analogy: is it really torturous if you get paid $14 million a year just to watch a girl you never cared about get off?

    I really don't care if he's involved or not with the parking lots, but I'm fairly certain he doesn't care about, nor did he ever care about, this team.

    diablo's right 4ev, you're better than that
    whether you agree or disagree with your fellow posters here
    calling them/us stupid isn't cool
    so what if you don't agree with our boycott
    you're not alone
    ford, one of our bros who's been to every lair event, is going to games
    he's our friend
    do me, darth or diablo ridicule him for his choice? no
    we might not agree, but he's our bro
    if you feel okay contributing to frank's $14MM annual payment, that's fine, I/we just don't agree with you
    and we didn't even call you stupid... :retard:

    Not to start anything, but Frank's getting $14MM annually whether you choose to go to games or not. If you go to a game, you're not contributing at all. A bigger FU (IMO of course) is attending games when Frank isn't the owner.

    I just don't understand it (but I respect your guys' decision). My main thing is that these new owners want to win, so I'm going to support them any way possible. It's a lot better than depriving yourself of watching the best Dodger team the last 20-30 years live in the best place on Earth.

    Everyone is entitled to opinions, NO DOUBT about that and I respect everyone's opinion and (generally) everyone does mine. If you don't want to go to games, don't, not a big deal at all. I tend to agree with Ford and IBB's posts in here.

    The only thing I somewhat get tired of is the non-stop pessimism from some people. It's like we are garbage, shit, assholes, turds and fucks if we lose one game or if someone gives up a run. Come on now, it's a game, there are going to be ups and downs!

    Anyways, just my two cents. And for the record, I don't think 4EB meant any harm, just probably poorly stated.

    you are right. frank is getting his 14 annually. but even if that seems like a paltry amount right now it has to come from somewhere. that money is coming from ticket sales, parking, concessions etc.
    and fwiw i wouldn't go to support a team owned my castro either. thats basically saying you have limited morality. or are ok w communism. you'd find plenty of support for your pov that it makes no difference.
    as they say if you don't stand for something then you stand for nothing. i don't dictate from some morally superior high ground its just my choice. i feel they lied and by the empty stands i guess i'm not alone.
    why anyone would feel the need to create a thread about a personal choice is whats interesting. must matter to him for some reason. whats next a thread on what a true dodger fan is? can't wait.

    ^
    and to echo the $14MM
    I don't care if McCourt is going to get it regardless
    what matters to me is that not one penny will be coming from me
    stubborn, sure
    but I'm not ripping others for feeling differently

    Lol, it was just an example. Castro is never going to own the Dodgers. Just trying to make a point.

    Okay, well answer this: If Guggenheim said that they were paying McCourt straight from their business (not through $ made through fans) would you guys go to games?

    probably not because they tried to bullshit past the issue. stood right in front of us at the press conference and lied.
    for me personally its not a decision i make lightly. i love dodger stadium and was good for 10-15 games a year. four box seats and all the food/beer i could take in nine innings.
    but i will go to games when people give me tickets which happens two or three times a year. blf went to a game w me and we sat in the espn seats i get at least once a year.
    i guess you would have to have grown up in an era when we watched our dads make deals on handshakes and our word was everything.
    just a matter of principle but i get why it seems strange to you.

    I understand why you guys feel the way you do. Frank ran this franchise into the ground; and the new ownership tried to tip-toe around the issue during the press conference.

    IMO though, I feel like they've (so far) made up for that bull shit by acquiring 4 all stars when they're playing their best. I'm just trying to live in the now. I totally respect your guys' opinions though. McCourt put us through hell.

    I respect everyone's opinion except that JPL douchebag. This site wont let me put him on ignore so i'm forced to read his bullshit day after day. Might be enough to make me leave this site for good
