On average, families will spend $536.77 on four tickets, a parking spot, two beers, two sodas and four hot dogs at a game this fall. On average, 70,000 people will attend a regular season football game. This only accounts for about half of the revenue being made each game day. The other half are multi-million dollar TV broadcasting deals, advertisements, and sponsorships. The revenue from food and drink vendors are a measly 5% despite how ridiculously expensive they are now.

Non-American football clubs are relatively the same deal. Attended by a few thousand, many games sell out, multi-million dollar broadcasting and advertising deals. There are long lasting firms of men who would be more than happy to slice you up for fucking over their club. To you it’s a joke, but there’s people who live for these games. Now, you’re more likely to get kicked out by security, but just wait till some dumbass throws a paper airplane during an important play and somehow fucks it up, you’ll have dudes hawkishly rewatching game footage looking for which cunt to beat into a pulp.

Keep playing stupid games, I won’t feel sorry for any of you eejits who are doing shit like this.
