Dodgers Boycott: Much More Work To Do, Here Is How To Do It
Published on July 19, 2011 by sportsadmin · 18 Comments
The Dodgers Boycott is gaining momentum but there is still a lot of work to do to get rid of Frank McCourt, his 600 million of Dodger debt and the national punchline that is the Dodgers.
A couple of weeks ago I attended the “Dodger Boycott Protest” down the street from Dodger Stadium before the 1 0clock game against the San Diego Padres. It was loud, boisterous and organized which was refreshing to this beleaguered Dodger fan. But for all the loud noises and angry signs the protest was missing one thing… one big thing…. numbers. About a 150 passionate fans showed up to make their opinion heard to the media, neighborhood and Dodger fans who cross the proverbial “union line” to go into the game. So while it was a success due to the media coverage it wasn’t due to the lack of attendance making for a lot more work to be done.
The Dodgers would win the game 1-0 in dramatic fashion but that wasn’t the story on LATIMES.COM, ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX and ESPN as the protest took center stage. News outlets reported the protest and it finally gave some legitimacy to the fight of the Dodger faithful who has been waging a silent war against Frank McCourt and his cronies. Before the protest many media outlets and the Dodgers reported and hid behind the beating of Bryan Stow on opening day as the reason for the decline in attendance. Ignoring the fact fans have been anti-McCourt for years and have been itching for a new owner since 2004(Mark Cuban please). So for all the heat the fans of Los Angeles have taken about being late to games, leaving early, non-boisterous, thugs and fickle they have finally fought back with the best way they can… attendance. A boycott with non-attendance has forced MLB as a whole into a attendance slump. A slump of BROXTONIAN proportions. So n0w that Dodgers fans and boycotters have the attention of the nation now what?
First the Dodger Boycott protest needs more people, a lot more people. Websites like http://www.markcubansavethedodgers.com/ and http://www.facebook.com/pages/Frank-McCourt-Sell-the-Dodgers-Leave-LA/108932472491967 have done an excellent job in making people aware of how the fans of Los Angeles actually feel about the current situation of the Dodgers. But they need more followers, enough followers to outweigh the attendance of Dodgers games under McCourt. If there were 31,000 (which is always tickets sold, not attended) and these sites had 32,000 followers it would further legitimize the Dodger Boycott. If these followers showed up to the protest it could spell doomsday for McCourt. And if fans would stop buying Dodgers gear it would further cripple McCourt financially beyond the declining attendance.
Second Dodgers Boycott faithful can write letters of support to MLB Commissioner Bud Selig:
The Office of the Commissioner of Baseball Allan H. (Bud) Selig, CommissionerAddress:245 Park Avenue, 31st FloorCity:New York, State:NY Zip Code:10167
Letters of support may give Selig more power in negotiating the sale of the team with Judge Kevin J. Gross if Selig wants to prove McCourt has tarnished the Dodgers name and the franchise of MLB.
Third write the bankruptcy judge Kevin J. Gross to show your commitment to the Dodger Boycott until McCourt is gone:
Honorable Judge Kevin J. Gross, United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, 824 North Market Street, 3rd Floor, Wilmington, Delaware 19801
Fourth is write Frank McCourt personally to sell the team and make a copy to send to Selig and Gross:
Dogdgers Owner Frank McCourt 1000 Elysian Park Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90012
Fifth is ask for what you want. Ask for a new owner on every message board, radio show, tv show and person on the street. The more awareness the closer Los Angeles is to ridding itself of McCourt.
As long as Dodgers fans stay away from the games and follow what was said above McCourt will be gone. But what will happen when he leaves? MLB will run the team and Dodgers fans must fill the stadium to the brim! McCourt would at that time have the Dodgers at $600 million in debt so the team will be in need of a old fashion Los Angeles cash infusion. That is the only way someone legitimate will buy the team because smart people with money don’t do bad investments. So when someone buys the team from MLB (MARK CUBAN PLEASE) it will need to be in a better financial situation.
Last thing Los Angeles needs to do is very loudly push for Mark Cuban to buy the team. The old-guard of MLB owners do not like Cuban and will not vote him in. But if we continue our fight and write Selig, media outlets and message boards we can help out Cuban’s position to buy the team. Don’t think your voice cannot be heard, remember it already has. Show up and bring back the Pride of Blue and erase the embarrassment that is the current Dodgers.
Thank you Jesse Saucedo for the picture above.

The processor or CPU is the brains of the laptop or computer – it does most of the calculations your video games need to operate (with the movie card undertaking most of the graphics get the job done). With it becoming like an important part, you would instinctually go for the speediest – and most high-priced – processor you could come across, but there is a much better alternative to blowing dollars on one thing that will be obsolete in a yr: acquiring a processor that will play tomorrow’s games at a small value is the sweet spot for any gaming pc.
Ive been pondering another question -if MIB and Widmore are on opposite sides as seems clear now -why do they BOTH want the candidates dead? Lets not forget that Widmore sent those mercenaries to get Ben and kill the rest -he is not the good guy he is pretending to be. I also believe he helped Locke find them all and return them to the Island so they could be killed -OR he found out between these times that they are candidates (how? Who knows. We know Bram and Ilana werent on his side so it would be odd if Jacob spoke to Widmore). Also -everyone is saying 3 candidates dies in the sub -NO -only 2 Sayid and Kwon (whichever one it is/was) so that leaves 4 candidates left. We have Jack, Sawyer and Hurley. Kate was ruled out in the podcast today so that leaves -Who? Widmore? Ben? Desmond? My hypothesis is Widmore and that he wanted the other candidates killed so he wold be the last one and then have the Island to himself finally. One snag -whats up with the electromagnetic sites hes plotting and what is Desmonds sacrifice? Thoughts????
Eric,I wonder, the Administration that was asleep at the wheel in your blaming 9/11 on, could that have possibly been the one that also had White House aides on their knees?As bad as the circumstances were under Bush in your overly active imagination youd think that he was trying to take total governmental control over America. Something that Obama and his liberal congress is well on their way to doing in just two short months.The black man doesnt bother me even though your favorite word for me is racist. The bottomfeeders do. They are there because they choose to be not because they havent been afforded the chances to rise above their squallor.I did look at Wikipedias explaination of ACORN, and then did a liltle further exploring. The various sites gave me ACORN telling me what a good institution ACORN is. Well pat me on the back Superman, did you honestly think any of those sites were going show any thing derogatory about them. An intelligent person would wonder who has to do the reasearch. I deal in sound reasoning, rational thought and common sense. I dont believe everything I hear or read from the left-media. I suggest you do the same in order to get a less one sided veiw. Thats oppressive.
That is my font problem. Styles are all individual; reproducing them on actual paper can be problematic.
LB Bryan Iwuji, Texas State, Jr.Moved up in the roster early in 2009 due to an injury to Sr Joe Bell. First tested against TCU and made a lot of noise in that game against a v good TCU Offense, with 7 tackles (second on the team @ 4 solo and 3 asst)Overall, as a sophomore and second on the depth charts, (plus missing a game with a slight injury) he finished with 67 tackles (31s/36asst)[in 2008 he had only 17 total tackles]Will be a starter in 2010.Just one to watch.
I agree, everyone gets sick. I seen her show in August and was not impressed with it at all. It was hyped up to be better than her farewell tour and it wasnt. I had seen 7 of her farewell concerts and I thought they were much better. We got to see more of Cher in those concerts and there was alot more energy by the dancers and even Cher, her self.
Outstanding report not to mention very easy towards realize explanation. How do I just do receiving permission towards submit element of this content with my future news letter? Giving suitable consumer credit rating back to you typically the article author not to mention hyperlink in the web site would not be considered trouble.
It has, and you lot lost the argument over and over again. Youve got a book that condones slavery and rape – how does this give YOU the moral highground. Furthermore, it puts homosexuality at about the same level of sin as having a tattoo. So wheres Franks book on forbidding marriage between people with tattoos?

The damnable trio, as Updike describes them, are elderly widows who have moved elsewhere. They talk about sex and witchcraft more than they practice either. They return to revisit the scene of our primes, one says. Our prime-crimes.
As for the time, Im sure it undoubtedly has to do with them racing to beat Universal to the box office who is also doing a Snow White movie. I fear this battle between them will result in some rush jobs that may sacrifice quality.
Im the voice of reason on this site, sadly.
2. Dee, I havent posted on this one yet. . . because occasionally (not very often!!), I am speechless. Your description of Sally singing A Mighty Fortress in church, grieving as she recognized the message of let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also,†and then the congregation rising and completing the hymn does leave me (almost) wordless. Im overwhelmed, at least partly because the application for me is so powerful that I either am not quite able or willing to put words to it yet (I have an inkling, but am not quite there).
I have to say Im surprised Im having this discussion with an atheist.Im saying that only things that exist can cause other things to exist. Im saying that you cant imagine that things create themselves.
Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear. She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
