Wow, this board is a good sample of our world as whole in that people don' like to hear the truth. I am just the messenger here.
It is basic psychology (I would hope some of you took that at Mason). If you get rewarded for bad behavior, you keep doing it. If you like a car company and they are creating a bad product, you are not helping them in the long run by buying their crappy cars. You may feel good about yourself by staying loyal, but you should not act as those who stopped buying the cars are to be criticized. They are the only reason the car company will eventually consider improving their product.
I'll keep buying tickets because I like games and it makes me feel good. Going to games does not deserve admiration, it is not a sign of your loyalty nor should you congratulate yourself for not walking away, or being a true fan. Just as those who don't buy tickets shouldn't be derided, whether it is directly or indirectly (by calling it walking away, using the term true fan, etc.). I was just pointing out that those that don't by tickets are helping those of us that do. We still get to keep watching Mason basketball, but if enough of them do stop coming, it will force the school (and we are already seeing signs of it with recent changes) to make changes for the better. It is win-win for us. If you don't understand that, then you are deluding yourselves, whether you want to admit or not.
Keep patting yourselves on the back...I'll find a lollipop and send one to each of you.
