Few wins equals few fans
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The threat of Sunday’s game vs. the 49ers being blacked out brought a harsh reality home to some of the Falcons players Wednesday: Fan loyalty can’t be taken for granted.
Veteran linebacker Keith Brooking has been through plenty of good and bad times with the franchise and when he was told that approximately 3,000 tickets were still available, he was surprised — sort of.
“This has been frustrating and been a disappointment for everyone,” Brooking said. “Our fans have the right to make whatever decision they want to make on that. When you’re 1-6, it’s all about supply and demand. Simple economics. Obviously, there’s not a lot of demand for our football team right now.”
The Falcons have until 1 p.m. Thursday to sell the remaining tickets or else the game would be blacked out.
