I think the clown thing is a good idea.

It's not disrespectful to the players.  It's about getting Trent Baalke fired.  Players usually don't pay much attention to the fans.  Even if they did, I think most would either find it funny or like their passion.

Some have suggested just not showing up for the game.  That's a bad idea.  It makes us look like bad fans.  It also gives no reason for the no show.  They may not be showing up because we're 2-14 coming off a 40 point loss.  It says nothing about Khan not firing Trent Baalke.  That's the message we want out there.  Clowns shows our passion.

Wearing bags is pointless.  It's been done to death.  Clowns is getting national media attention.  It made Fox New's web site.  Again, bags don't make the issue clear.  People could wear that just because the team is bad.  Clowns has become the symbol of firing Baalke.

As for Khan, it's only personal to the extent that keeping Baalke is his personal decision.  That's why the symbol includes him.  Only he can make the change the fans want.

As for participation, I agree that it will be low.  Bags are easy to find.  Everyone has them.  Getting clown items takes effort.  Also, many simply don't want to dress as a clown.  However, it's still a good movement.  I guarantee the tv stations will focus in on the few in clown outfits in the stands.  It gets national attention.  That's the point of it.  Put as much pressure on Khan as a possible.

Will it work?  I don't know.  Probably 30/70.  However, it we didn't do it, it was 1/99. of getting Baalke fired.  It was worth a shot.
