I have Peacock for soccer but I'll pass on watching this game if for no other reason than spite (and I'm fan of neither team) but it's just another reason to ignore professional sports.
I realize what I'm about to type isn't specific or researched, but consider the following:
Per the NFL itself, they have donated more than 600 grants totaling almost 3 million dollars since 2017 (mostly in the area of social justice and equality).
The PGA and LPGA (so PGA) give almost 200 million PER YEAR to various charities. Golf events in total claim more than 3 BILLION+ PER YEAR in charitable giving.
3 million in 6 years to social justice, or 200 million PER.
Which one deserves our attention and support?
The PGA donates more every year than the MLB, NBA and NFL, combined.Last edited by WuDrWu; January 8, 2024, 10:54 AM.

But even if I agree, and I defend each person/organization and their right to choose how they spend their money, the big 3 are derelict in their social responsibility, especially given their status.
They have the right to not give to charity, 100%. That doesn't mean they can't be called out for their dereliction.

Seriously, I gave up comp seats on the 50 yard line. No regrets.

I have one friend who I think still kinda wants to go, but nobody will commit to going with him because it's going to be so freaking cold. I've been to a Chiefs game years ago against the Panthers when it was unbearably cold and I don't need to experience that again. I get the excitement behind being there for a playoff game. It's a different vibe but I would need a less cold winter for that. I don't mind bundling up some to enjoy it, but I would need to be able to enjoy it."You Just Want to Slap The #### Outta Some People"

It would be a lot.Shocker fan for life after witnessing my first game in person, the 80-74 win over the #12 Creighton Bluejays at the Kansas Coliseum.

The cold ass game I went to we were in the lower bowl, just under the second deck. Can't imagine how much it would have sucked at the top.
Lower bowl seats are going for under $100 for tomorrow's game. I believe it's expected to be close to zero degrees at kickoff.Infinity Art Glass - Fantastic local artist and Shocker fan
