Since you don't care about the organization raping some people in it's fan base, do you care that the people in the ticket office contributed to creating a home field disadvantage against the Steelers game last year? Because every fan should be pissed and embarassed that our offense had to use a silent snap count in our own stadium.
Actually I mostly don't care because I don't see what the big deal is. It's a business. I'm surprised people are surprised that profit maximizing goes on. I am surprised people are surprised the Skins sue people to pay their contractual obligations. I am surprised people think that Dan Snyder micromanages to a point where he'd have any idea how tickets get sold in the ticket office with any pertinent amount of detail. Mostly I am NOT surprised at the "outrage" since there are certain segments for people who are never going to care for the FO under Dan Snyder no matter what. With the WaPo leading that charge.

And no the issue with the Steelers game wasn't largely the team's fault. The issue is that lots of people sold their tickets. The tickets are expensive and games require commitment. Some people don't have that time and money. The size of the stadium increases the likelihood that there are a good number of "fans" who sell their tickets and there always will be, whether the team is winning games or not.
