Venomous personal attacks, even, for simply offering the idea? Creating straw men out of my words to be able to attack me for things I never said? Taking the time to create a user name just for such attacks? Such silliness. Too funny.
Actions have consequences, and I've merely suggested that's probably what we're seeing. If you don't realize that people do what they enjoy doing, or don't understand that altering the experience being offered can impact Mavs attendance, maybe you should.
I think what we're seeing with the empty seats is, in some places in America, there's still a pandemic. Rather than being worried about complying with reasonable anti-Covid attempts, they have other reasons, like, perhaps, social distancing by staying at home. Perhaps people are not anti-mask but anti-catching-Covid. There's probably individual reasons for not buying seats at Mavs games. To each their own.
