Our Plan

In recent years, Revolution fans have tried to voice our displeasure in numerous ways.  We've tried chants.  We've sent e-mails.  We've worn paper bags on our heads.  We've had meetings with the front office.  Hell, last year things got so bad, we simply walked out on our own team.

All of that was met with the same general response from the organization: "We feel your pain.  We're going to work hard to get things headed in the right direction... you're still coming next week, right?"

That's the only thing we really haven't tried -- not coming back next week.  Or the week after that, or the week after that.  We haven't tried not giving them any money until they can prove that they "get it".

So, that's our plan.  Effective at the conclusion of the 2012 season, anyone who wishes to join the boycott will no longer purchase Revolution tickets, merchandise, or concessions until such time as our demands are met.  Simple.  To the point.  And highly effective if done by enough people.

Beyond that?  Well, this is what we've tentatively got planned at the moment:

October 3rd - We'll be sending a certified letter with our list of demands to the Krafts.  We're not sure they'll read it, so we'll also be sending copies directly to Brian Bilello and Don Garber.

October 10th - "Loud" launch of the boycott.  We'll be sending press releases to local media outlets and national soccer media.

October 20th - Project Green Razor.  We're asking anyone who joins the boycott to wear green to the final home game of the season in order to give ownership an idea of the money they'll be losing by not giving in to our demands.  More on this to come.

October 28th - Official beginning of the boycott.  Set for the day after the team's final game of the season.
