Poverty franchise
But the “X Days since Buxton played CF” guy is fine?
He had to have done something more than pick on Mr Pohlad…
There were some fed up dudes you could hear in the stands on the radio broadcast last night. Pretty obvious fans are the opposite of happy right now.
What a punishment. Plenty of fans will punish themselves the same way next season
Now make them and hand them out.
This obviously sucks, FTP.
But as an aside, are these stadium bans ever actually enforced? I guess you could ban their email from buying tickets, but what’s to stop them just getting in via a friend? Are the ushers actually patrolling with their mugshot or something?
Yeah, I feel like there’s more we’re not getting. Like make the guy was belligerent, or being rude to other fans, or tried to smuggle illegal stuff in… you don’t just get banned for a year for a sign, there’s something more going on.
What’s next? Run over protestors?
Of course because the Pohlads got their feelings hurt. On a positive note, he won’t have to pay to witness more probable payrolls cuts and crappy play next season.
Dude fuuuuuck the pohlads if this is legit, which seems like it is based on the video. I will bring “sell the team” signs to any games to go to next season.
That’s a punishment? I sure as hell am not attending any games next year
How can they ban someone ? They don’t own the fucking stadium, tax payers paid for this stadium, fuck these scumbag owners
That’s my sign! Yes I got kicked out and they tried to arrest me. On top of that they banned me for 1yr. FUCK THE POHLAD’S!!!
Dang it Rocco!
The Poorlads should be grateful that there are some people that still care enough to protest the team ownership. That means the protesters still care about the Twins.
Been living in Georgia the past 10 years and stayed a Twins fan. Think I might just start following the Braves now, at least they care about putting together a winning team.
Why are you booing, he’s right!
Poverty Pohlads should be ashamed, yet they make us citizens pay for *their* stadium, to ban us if we protest, crazy.
I was sitting in 104 and saw this sign on the big screen! I yelled DEFUND THE POHLADS as loud as I possibly could. I might bring a SELL THE TEAM sign to the game tomorrow.
Oh no not that!
“What am I under arrest for? Enjoying a game? A suckulent penny pinching meal?!?!”
Saw him after the 8th near the Sid statue where police were giving him a trespass violation, was kicked out fr, getting hassled while being ticketed
Steisand effect. Kicking the person out and banning them for a year is giving the content of the sign more attention. The Pohlads are dweebs.
Contact the local media about this.
Every time I see a story about a complaint going to the local media investigation reporters, to no one’s surprise they generally get resolved.
