Organized fan protest underway

Yeah, I've been listening to the entire thing. A guy called into the "mighty Gwinn" show and said that tomorrow he was going to put his tickets into a envelope and hand deliver them to McNair....he knows he won't be able to see McNair personally, but he'll talk to whoever will see him and tell them that he isn't renewing his season tickets unless serious changes are made. Gwinn asked him to call back afterwords and report on their reaction. Other callers thought that was a great idea so they said they would do the same. Now texters and emailers are saying they're going to do the same......hand over their tickets and their PSLs and then report back to Gwinn and tell him what the Texans said.
 
You tell Mr. Burge that I will gladly relinquish my tickets once they have been scanned and we have been granted access to the stadium.

Because...

I will look for him during the game. His seats are within eyeshot from my sky-high seats. I bet he'll be firmly planted into his seats as usual along with those fancy all-access creditentials I have seen him wear around his neck.

BUT BUT BUT...

I won't hold it against aj for showing up. He's got a job to do and I can understand that but to call for this protest... is kinda a slap in the face unless he gives a promise to participate in full.

I guess I'm a skeptic. I think I'll look for secondhoneymoon and his brother and partipate in their protest. Seems a bit more reasonable to walk a picket line in front of 70k fans plus the city of Houston passing by on 610.

Thanks for explaining it all out. I now understand the full story and how it came to fruitition.
 
Yes, I love it! We've always been complaining and take no action. I hope there's a huge outcome so McNair gets the message.
 
I was listening to this today too and love the idea. If not I don't see the big issue with a silent protest. If people are so into tailgating and all they don't want to miss their last chance then tailgate and don't go in for the first 5 minutes of the game. You are at the game, you get your fun and the palce is really empty for part of the quarter.
 
I can understand that returning your tickets sends a strong message, but I think there is alot of people who are reluctant to give back something that they worked hard and paid for.

I think if people were to organize a picket outside of reliant alot more people would get involved since they would not be out any money. This week would be ideal for this because there is alot of people off for the Holidays, and the power of numbers could send out a stronger message than a few returning there tickets.
 
Please let's make this happen! I'm not a season ticket holder, but you guys who buy and spend your hard earned dollar on buying season tickets can make a real impact. We need to send a strong message to Mr.McNair that this is unacceptable. He's a business man who understands money and if he sees his season ticket holders pissed off he will take notice of that. And we as fans should in general hold a protest of some sort soon so that our displeasure with this team can be heard loud and clear.

I'll tell you what... I'll sell you my tickets and parking pass at cost and you can protest in my name as SEASON TICKET HOLDER.

Fair enough?
 
The people in the upper rows of Sections 351 and 352 have a real opportunity to get Bob's attention. Those sections are directly in front of his suite. Make some big signs demanding that this spineless and clueless coaching staff needs to be fired. Hold them up for the entire game.
 
I have a lot of season tickets provided to me by my company. We give those tickets away to clients. But, as of recently, it seems that clients aren't as interested in the Texans anymore.

Guess I'll have to relay that message upstairs, McNair. That's one less sponsorship.

Oooooooo!!!

Biting the hand that feeds you is always a risky move. The rewards and consequences are equally great.
 
I think this is great! If I could, I would make it. Lets hope more people show up than when the fans gathered to keep the Oilers here, lol.
 
Im willing to send my tickets for the Jags game to McNair.

He sits directly behind Section 352, when I go to the restroom I see him looking at the game with his binoculars all the time.

Maybe I should attend the game and have a big poster saying "US SEASON TICKET HOLDERS WANT CHANGE!!" on the front and back.

Im pretty sure he will see the sign if im standing up.
 
I'm showing for the game. I work too hard to throw good money away. If nothing else I'll enjoy the new and creative way to lose that day (it's becoming very entertaining)!

My protest will be me showing up nekkid... Now that would send a strong message!!

That would give a whole meaning to 3rd and inches....

I don't sit in the bullpen, but I must say,...

A 'bagpen' would be awesome.

A bagpen would be a huge embarassment for Mr. Mcnair and I imagine he would have to do something drastic to show that he is listening.
:hunter::hunter::hunter::kubepalm:
 
I've been saying for quite some time now that McNair is the problem. It's nice to see y'all catch up. :gun:
 
My brother and I will be meeting at the Holiday Inn little sports bar next to reliant. Nothing fancy, just some posterboard, some sharpies and some pickets. We sold our PSLs last year so this is our best method to protest bob's ludicrous comments last week.

Oh and nobody has missed going to the game
It has been bad enough on TV, thanks

I was with you up to this point... I don't think that sends the right message to anyone, especially the mental one...
 
The only thing any NFL owner worries about is indifference. Protests aren't going to mean much as it shows fans care.

You wanna hurt McNair? Organize a concessions strike. A Sunday of no beer sales would have him crying like a baby.

The entire Bullpen should stay at the tailgate until halftime to send a loud message...

That is what I said the page before...not just the bullpen.. but the stadium. Take the 1st quarter off and tailgate and then come in.

No. You said miss the first five minutes which is what most do ANYWAY.

;)

I like the half idea but I'm going to respectfully decline. I'm watching my Texans kick the **** out of the Jaguars.

The concession boycott is a great idea.

I think the messages that need to be conveyed are these:

1) This isn't a protest against the players or their efforts, it's about demanding a change at the head coach position.

2) McNair's apparent optimism has catalyzed intolerance and frustration from his patrons.

3) If a change at the head coach position does not happen, we will no longer buy any more of McNair's products.

The company who made this picture frame that I bought like 10 years ago does NOT care that today it still sits in a box with the random family photo that they provided collecting dust. The moral is that they got their money already.

Using our tickets as toilet paper or attending the game is left to our discrection. I would donate my tickets to some youth organization before throwing them away.

I am positive that McNair could care less about his beer not selling for a Sunday, after all he is a billionaire.

I think the best idea for the people who want to do some protest is a mass organized protest that would make national news.
The best one I have heard on here is the whole bullpen leaving at halftime, however it should be nearly the entire stadium and people should not arrive until the second half because we know the Texans do not show up for the first half!
 
I will NOT participate in any of this nonsense! WHY?? Because I support my football team!! Just the way I was brought up. I might not like some of the decisions being made, I might wish for a perfect secondary, a perfect coach, a perfect organization, BUT, at the end of the day I'm still gonna be a TEXAN fan and come Jan 2nd I'm gonna be there supporting ALL the guys in RED, WHITE, and BLUE!! I have no desire to give my fandom to another team, I will not jump off the wagon and jump back on when we do well. If any of you think picketing, burning your season tickets, etc will have any kind of effect on what decisions Bob McNair will make you all are crazy! Again WHY? Because there is no way in hell a few hundred irrate fans will have an impact on his decision. To do some of the things you guys have mentioned will only punish the team, and I'll have NO part in that!! Come Jan 2nd, fans will flow into Reliant just like they always have. Because of the time of year this game will be played there will be empty seats anyway.

Fans will do what they wanna do, but, when it's all said and done, Daddy Bob will do what HE wants to do. THEN you have to make a decision if you wanna hang in there with this team or not. I'm in for the long haul. Call me a glutton for punishment if ya want.
 
I hope to see the rest of y'all out there. This will be a game that I will thoroughly enjoy mostly just because its not, "THE MOST IMPORTANT GAME IN FRANCHISE HISTORY."
Hope to see the rest of you folks out there to enjoy the "LAST" game of the season.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
