Washington Redskins: You won’t catch fans burning season tickets

Some Washington Redskins fans may feel some type of way about NFL players kneeling or locking arms during the national anthem, but they won’t burn tickets.

Do you know how long it takes just to get season tickets? No, you don’t. You’re not one of the many Washington Redskins fans out there patiently waiting for their chance to come. Skip the thought of weeks or months. This wait list takes years in some cases.

So, when fans started burning their season tickets following the protests during the national anthem in Week 3, it’s hard not to think: It must be easy to get those back when they change their minds next season.

Take this guy for example:

We might burn jerseys (cough, RG3), but no one is destroying tickets. The special trait about the Redskins fanbase is that they know who they don’t like and who they’d love to see leave, so why punish the whole organization about it?

The protest will make its rounds until Week 5 (give or take) and then everyone will get back to the business at hand: Getting to the Super Bowl. If anything, Washington fans are doing this:

According to Breitbart.com, NFL sales at TickPick dropped 17.9 percent this week, nearly double the 10.8 percent drop-off during Week 3 in 2016. However, a Bloomberg report noted icket sales for this weekend’s games are very much like those in Weeks 2 and 3, according to an analysis of resale data by SeatGeek.

Here’s the deal: Redskins fans get it when it comes to understanding the current issues that face this country. But they also love football, and their team.

Where some people have had enough, using their platforms on social media to make their case known, Washington Redskins fans will always support their team. Their platform is right there in that chair, and they’ll make it very known how they feel.
