Saw this on Facebook, I believe there are other variations of this, but I like it anyway:
Dear AFL
Whilst you and the players are fighting over who gets what percentage of the fans hard earned $$ we the fans are going to find other ways to spend our hard earned $$ when you finally come to a compromise and start the season we will have a lockout of our own. We pay you $10-$20 just to park near your arenas, we pay you $35-$200 to sit in your arenas, we pay $8-$10 per beer in your arenas, we pay $8-$10 for some soggy chips & cold pies in your arenas. We wait in long lines for all of this and never argue when you raise the prices every year. We show our loyalty year in year out and you continually show your lack of loyalty yet again!!! So how about we boycott your product for a while and see what you have to fight about then!
Sincerely one angry fan!!!!
PS: To hell with you!
Letter to the AFL

The reply would be: "Go nuts, vote with your feet if that's what you want." The AFL knows that the fans keep coming no matter what, so they want to fleece them exactly as much as possible and not a cent less.GoSaintersGo wrote:Would love to see a reply?
On the other hand, if crowds and TV viewers actually start falling off then the AFL will respond. Not sure that's happened yet though.

Sad, but true. No matter how much they gouge the prices, no matter how warm the beer is or cold the pies are, the fans will always show up in droves. The AFL knows this.

Maybe greed or arrogance would be more appropriate?
