"It's a joke, simple as that. The whole first level was Green Bay Packers fans. And then we're allowing them to put up signs. It's a joke . . . it's a joke." That was Jackson's response to the lack of Rams fans in the dome. And I couldn't have said it any better myself.
As a fan watching this game and looking at the crowd as the cameras panned the dome...it was utterly disgusting to see that Jackson wasn't exaggerating about the the first level dominated by Packer fans. And the only reason this could happen would be if the Rams fans sold the opposing teams fans the tickets.
That's just wrong, utterly wrong. Why do you say? The Rams deserve it with their record? The fans have a right to do whatever they want with their tickets. I suppose you could be right there but that doesn't make it right, now does it?!
Look around the league at other teams with poor records and I'll name you a few....
Chiefs.....their fans still pack Arrowhead, despite their record and you'd never see them selling off their tickets to the enemy.
Bengals....their fans are still there backing their team despite their record and you still see them at home games no matter how painful it is to watch.
Falcons....their QB is in prison, their coach walked out on the team, but the fans are still there and not selling off their tickets to the enemy.
Dolphins....totally winless into week 15 yet you don't see their fans selling their tickets to the opponents fans.
The fans in St. Louis are the poorest excuse for fans the NFL has ever seen. And I'll say it again, they should be utterly ashamed of themselves. It's hard enough for the team as it is, but to be at home and see and hear nothing but pro Packer chants is completely unfair to a team that is suppose to be YOUR team.
As a lifelong fan, it ripped my heart out to hear continual chants of "Go Favre, Go Favre, Go Favre!" at a home game. St. Louis fans, you make me sick.
Yes, you have the right to do what you want....but, it's NOT right.
