This vax bullshit is fucking up our board…
Yeah it's kind of fucking up everything. I need to change the channel from the Vikings for a bit.
And this is supposed to be the season of joy and hope for football fans...I don't blame us fans, we're emotionally and financially tied to the team.
1/3 of that roster (supposedly) doesnt give a s hit about each other or the fans.
I've been a season tix holder back to the Moon days, not sure anymore.
That's exactly what I've been feeling through this. I haven't been a season ticket holder nearly as long as you have. But I added 2 seats this year and now have 4. I hope that others on the team move that number up from 64%. I expect the team to have to deal with the unexpected and I hope they all stay healthy. But I am not looking forward to a season possibly marred by 'controllables'.
So between you and me, there's 8 seats. 8 PSL's, lots of $$$. Nobody is holding a gun to our heads, our choice.
BUT....Do you think we'll see a dime back if the Vikings have to forfeit 3 games? 1? 5?
Zygi may be thinking else wise
That's why I sold off some of my tickets for games this season. Things are going to get worse before it gets better.
@Vikergirl - Totally understandable. After a season of not seeing any games, I planned to be there in person. My game partner is in for the full season so he took one seat for all games. The other two seats are yet open. There are always plenty of people who want to go, but I just haven't done anything with them yet.
@purplefaithful - if there are forfeited games, I definitely expect a refund/credit. I'll pay to see the team play, but certainly won't pay for nothing. Player vaccine status is a controllable for the players, not the fans. I'll take my $$$ back.
Oh and I'll add that I'm totally prepared for a reduction in attendance limits if we continue on this path. I spent the entire winter in another state last season and am considering doing it again. If I don't have to be in the office at all, I won't be in Minnesota.

I am generally an optimistic person but this situation has made me cautious. If things get better, I may go to more games. I really hope there are no forfeits but the odds may not be in our favor. Fans better not have to pay for forfeits, that would piss me off.

Wonder if the board would be better served not having far right wing mods?
Why, you have problems with the mods? They're pretty much giving you free reins to say whatever you want over and over again...

Well, we had a pretty diverse group at one point... but MontanaTom and Cricket retired... Sassy and Tempe left... Prairie ghost doesn't post much anymore... and Fano is no longer with us :-(
I'm the only one left who just moderates the main Longship forum. Jimmy and Greed were added to help out here and also moderate the Sensitive Topics forum when it was created. I try to stay out of there because I don't really care to discuss politics and a lot of the "discussion" has too much drama for me.
All I'll say is, being a moderator is NOT a glamorous job. People may not always agree with decisions that are made, but everyone gets a longer leash than they probably deserve...
If anyone wants to volunteer to be a moderator, we could use a few more. Send me a PM and I'll talk with Mike and the other mods about it.
***Full disclosure, you get paid NOTHING... in terms of qualifications, you can't be a complete asshole and need to be fairly active here year round... but you don't need to be vaccinated (yet). If that sounds good to you, please reach out.
Honestly, this is all you need to know about Cousins and his take on vaccines. Why didn't he speak with the Doctor to get a full perspective? We know why. Hey Kirk, don't act like you did your due diligence, you didn't. I'd respect it more if he just admitted why for the real reasons:

Yeah, that's a true smoking gun. lol

C'mon Wet, you make it glamorous, big guy. :-)
@Nichelle would be the obvious choice, if only to get her on the board more. 2nd choice @Kentis. Always on, reasonable, mostly apolitical, and funny as hell. I think the job requires a sense of humor. Also has a gift for brevity.
