Those fans will have to wait for Mara to fire himself. Incompetence starts at the top.

Mara has owned the Giants basically the same amount of time as the Wilfs have owned the Vikings and has 2 lombardis to show for it...just saying..

Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?

Times have changed. The vast majority of fans/revenue/betting/merch/fantasy are fans of players and fans of a team one week at a time depending on their gambling or fantasy lineup. Sure you still have your core of diehards who will pay $300 -$1000 to go to a game and of course more than enough season ticket holders for even the crappiest teams but the Benjamins are coming in for every team in the league. The overall value for the Cowboys, Jets, Giants never goes down even when they suck as they have for many years.

The Mara family bought the Giants in 1925. 

The late Tim Mara, now a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, purchased a franchise for $500 in 1925 and before the Giants' first season had ended, he had invested another $25,000 to keep the franchise alive. A team in New York was thus assured.
From the start, the Giants have been a family enterprise. Founder Tim Mara's sons, Jack and Wellington, succeeded him and Tim Mara II served for many years as the club's vice president. Wellington Mara and Preston Robert Tisch, who purchased 50 percent of the club in 1991, served as co-chief executive officers until their deaths in 2005. In 2007, the Giants, led by quarterback Eli Manning and defensive end Michael Strahan, defeated the previously unbeaten New England Patriots to capture the Super Bowl XLII championship. Manning and the Giants won a second Super Bowl four years later in a rematch against the Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI.
