Only about 8% of revenue comes from tickets and other game day revenue. Jerseys/memorabilia is split 32 ways so not buying that won't hurt either. Every year the franchise becomes tens and more likely hundreds of millions of dollars more valuable. There is nothing we can do financially to get his attention.

The only real impact we can have is to his ego. You think he isn't incredibly frustrated by all of this? He thought he was just going to shove Baalke down all of our throats and we were going to take it because we are good little submissive fanatics. Fighting back the way we have is the only real way we can do it that will affect anything. If he wants to withdraw into his shell like he has then he can simply go be the clown of his own personal circus, as someone aptly put earlier.

Those with this mentality have an inflated opinion of the effect they've had.  You basically hit the nail on the head with your first paragraph.  You can't hurt him financially.  If anything, you're maybe ever so slightly moving the needle for him to do the opposite of what you want.  Congratulations.

Shad has the power, no doubt about that. He owns the ball, if he wants to start pouting and take the ball and go home there's nothign we can do about it.

That said, everyone has their point at which they are not going to keep bending over for the guy though, and I am at that point. You may not be there yet, but a lot of us are.
