Listen Up: No Means No

I just received word that the Niners sent out a second invoice to ticket holders that didn't renew by last week's deadline. Something along the lines of "we thank you for your continued support, please remember to renew by March 4." I haven't received anything, but since I live in the south bay, I'm expecting that I will get my notice tomorrow,

First of all - really? What part of "no" means "no?" Do you think we all just forgot that the bill was due? We KNEW the bill was due - and we chose not to pay. It's a simple concept. You have something for sale. We decide we aren't buying and walk out of the store. You lose your sale. End of story. This isn't a car dealership where you have to play the game that forces the salesman to run out of the showroom offering you a better deal.

Second of all - "continued support?" Our support DISCONTINUED the day we stopped writing checks to the 49ers. We're done. Get used to the TV blackouts - this stadium isn't going to be sold out any time soon.

Finally, "March 4th?" That's when the CBA expires. You still expect us to pay for a product that may not exist? "Next season?" What season? How about you wait until you guarantee there will BE a next season. Oh, never mind, your "guarantees" are worthless. Otherwise, I'd be recapping the 49ers' 2010 postseason appearance instead of being flabbergasted at the cojones this ignorant organization has.

I'll post any details when (if) I get this invoice tomorrow.

In the meantime, listen to me - and listen to good, 49ers organization: we spoke with our wallets. You didn't listen. Please - go away. Now.
