Oust the Wilpons!


To True New York Mets fans
or New Yorkers
or Baseball fans
or Sports fans
or anyone with a heart!

We the fans are tired of getting letters asking to spend more of our hard earned time and money for a team that’s owned by a family that either doesn’t care or is just clueless. The 2014 Mets could have been watchable if their GM was given say 30-40 extra Million to sign 2-4 other players for the year. Yes we know they are rebuilding but the Kansas City Royals have a larger payroll. The money the WIlpons, or to save W’s lets call them the Coupons, make alone from their SNY TV deal dwarfs almost all other markets yet we have the 22nd highest payroll and have less than half the payroll of the team across town.

This letter is not meant to be a rant so let me start over. Simply put
We the fans need to Oust the WIlpons.

So we need each and every one of you to pledge the following:
I will not buy tickets to any more Mets games until the Coupons sell the team. If I already have tickets or promised Mom I’d take her to the mothers day game etc. I will stand up in the top of the 5th inning and chant during the 1st batter, "Oust the Wilpons" similar to the "Lets go Yankees" (because it works same number of syllables etc).

I will not buy any Mets merchandise that is licensed by the Mets.

I will abide by this oath until such time that the Coupons not only sell the team but sell them to the fans so the New York Metropolitans will be the 2nd community owned major league professional sports team in the United States along with the Green Bay Packers.

This is a powerful family and it won’t be easy.

We the fans cannot take many more 70 win seasons. The Mets are in our blood so we can not just simply switch teams or we would have many blown saves ago. Lets all get this letter to all of the suffering Mets fans young and old across the world, post it on our social media, mail it to grandma and get out of our chairs and go to the window and yell, We’re not going to take it anymore!

Seriously, we can do this. Lets do it.
Lets Go Mets.
