Skins sell ticket straight to scalpers

But where the "raping" comes in to play is the way they get these fans into these multi year mega buck contracts via dubious sales techniques. A lot of these fans don't know what they are getting into because the ticket office does not tell them the truth or the ticket office simply commits outright fraud (e.g. altering the contract after they sign it as in the aforementioned picture in the Wash Post).

Then suing these people after you have tricked them into these contracts is a raping.

Personally, I thing the ticket sales office is out of hand and I would prefer them to have a more transparent and fair operation. I don't dislike Dan Snyder or really have a problem with anything else he has done. Allthough, he is the top dog so he must be held responsible to some extent.

I think the people read and understood what they signed (except for the guy that said the team chacked boxes he didnt) and it is a contract but with so many people supposedly on the wait list I find it hard to believe they cant sell these club tickets. The Skins are a business but they are more than that, they are, like Boswell says, a public trust. They arent a furniture store, they are an icon that people grow up with and develop deep emotional ties to. I just dont see how the few extra $ they recovered in these lawsuits outweighs the incredible negative publicity from this. Also, by the time the team goes through all the time and effort of chasing these cases, how much money is really made? I suspect not much to make it worth all this mess. Why the Skins just wouldnt have said to those sued, "we are sorry you are no longer interested thanks for your support" and just walked away is beyond me.
