reiks12 Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 (edited) See post in the whitesox subreddit: Quote The Oakland A's come to town August 24-27th and I don't believe there would be a better time for this. I propose we organize a SELL THE TEAM night and get as many Sox fans together as possible to get some chants going all game. Doing so would let the FO know the fans have a LOUD voice while also showing solidarity with our Oakland A's brothers and sisters who will soon be losing their team. Look I know Jerry isn't going to nod and bow down because of this, however seeing 10000s of fans chanting their heads off like its a playoff game would go down in Sox history and could be major news (another black eye for the org). ANYTHING to make Hahn and any other media facing individuals squirm is a win. I will never forget the loud Fire Tony chants from last year and the absolute stink that caused. All the years of treating fans like garbage, NO MORE! I have had enough of this organization and its incompetence!!!! WE DESERVE BETTER! WHEN: I am suggesting Saturday August 26th (Dylan Cease Bobblehead Night) WHAT: Dress in all black, bring banners, signs, tell your friends, post on social media, get as many there as possible, or support in any way! Oakland game earlier this year: If we can even get half of this it would be something, I would do anything possible to make that happen. This could be an epic night in Sox history. "This won't do anything": Thats fine, we can still have fun and come together for something we all love. You can still spread the word to Sox fans or social media to show support. "Its stupid to give Jerry all this money": He is 87 years old and a multi billionaire. One large crowd wont make a difference to his wallet. If we are going to spend money on this org then lets get our worth. Lets make this a night to never forget. EDIT: I am sure Bulls fans would love to join as well, if this picks up steam I could go other to r/chicagobulls and see if anyone wants to support.

TheBooneLoganEra Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 (edited) Honestly Sox fans are great at Black outs for the once a decade playoff game. If it was billed like that it could get some traction. Edited August 7, 2023 by TheBooneLoganEra 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are out of give a fucks. It's fair to expect the team to make an effort to win back their business. That's not being an a - hole, it's being human. I've kicked at that football for too many years just to have the organization pull it away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost 20 years of straight futility while the owner kicks our dicks in. Baseball is important to me and cheering for a Sox brand I can be proud of is what I want. Cubs fans calling us trash and we roll with it like cuckolds. Years ago it we wouldnt. I want to be a proud sox fan again and I know there are many out there like me who are tired of this and just want their voices heard for one night. A's fans are more excited about it than Sox fans so far, the latter apathetic and barely engaged. Maybe the wrong franchise is getting moved.

southsideirish71 Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 (edited) Reinsdorf is tone deaf to these sorts of tactics. So you are going to punish him by putting more money into his and his investors pockets. Wow that will show him. You know when this will all go away. When he is no longer the owner of the team. That is it. Billboards, signs, bags on heads, and attendance games mean nothing to him. JR is an managing investor trying to strip mine profits from the team for him and his investors. Thats it.

Kyyle23 Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 At first I thought why give JR more money, but I have been convinced that the reverse boycott is the way to go. Go to the park a - holes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerbaho-WG Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 I haven’t been to a game in probably five years and haven’t watched a game since 2020. I would absolutely go to this just so Reinsdorf has to squirm for one second in shame. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grinder Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Unless JR been living under a rock, I assume he has to know most SOx fans despise him I agree do everything to embarrass him......not that he cares 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole logic of this reverse boycott is completely escaping me. THIS idea, however, sounds hilarious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
