Pussification Of America Continues: Ticketmaster Gives Free Super Bowl Tickets To Sucker Niners Fans Who Got Duped Out Of Their Money
mercurynews – Score one for the San Francisco 49ers faithful. The Bay Area couple and die-hard Niners fans who wired $5,900 to a Baltimore Ravens fan for Super Bowl tickets — only to get a taunting “Go Ravens! LOL!” FedEx package but no tickets in return — are going to Sunday’s big game after all. After this newspaper’s story on the couple was read around the country Tuesday, Ticketmaster CEO Nathan Hubbard called Hayward resident Sharon Osgood to offer four free tickets for her, her boyfriend and other family members who got scammed. Hubbard also arranged for Osgood and her partner to have breakfast with NFL legend Troy Aikman. Before word of that gift got out, the 49ers front office called with its own free-ticket offer. In all, the family has five tickets to the game — and good seats, too. “My heart literally was in my throat; it was fluttering — I was like, ‘Oh my God, I can’t believe this is happening.’ I can’t put into words how grateful I am,” Osgood, a 49-year-old utility worker, said between tears after getting the news.
Here’s the problem, America: we keep rewarding the wrong people. Instead of celebrating teachers, thinkers, and the real achievers, we throw huge spotlights on drunken ragged-vagina reality stars and little freaky obese beauty pageant girls. It’s not right. These sucker-ass Niners fans got suckered. One’s born every minute. But now because their story is national news Ticketmaster sees it as a publicity opportunity and gave them free Super Bowl tickets. It’s absurd reasoning. We shouldn’t be rewarding thoughtless here’s-some-cash-in-the-mail idiots with free Super Bowl tickets. We should be laughing AT them and perhaps learning lessons from them. That’s it.
This country….
PS – Troy Aikman two days ago: “Aww c’mon Nate you’ve gotta be fucking kidding me. NO DINNER. Breakfast. ONLY BREAKFAST. Yeah, yeah owe you my ass. Tee time is 6 tomorrow, jackass.”
It pays to suck in this day and age.
They are just Philly fans in a niner uniform.
That looks like the face of someone stupid enough to buy superbowl tickets on craigslist from someone named R. Thomas Pham Guan
no offense, but definitely offense.
You’re a moron if you think they did this for any reason other than PR…Give away $6k in superbowl tickets to get millions of dollars in free advertising and an outpouring of consumer goodwill.
No self respecting Niners fan would want to meet Troy Aikmen.
show me proof that they paid….and give em nothing
if these people are black, zero chance this happens.
I saw that you and kmarko both wrote this blog, i read kmarko’s and came on here just to tell you that i didn’t read yours. I bet it sucked.
Haha sucker asses
if this happened in Russia, Putin would have called them to his house, sat them down at his dinner table, slapped each of them across the face once, said “you’ve brought shame to yourselves, to me, and to Mother Russia.” and then deported them.
We take care of stupid, poor and different.
They 100% send $5,000 in food stamps
fuck ticketmaster and fuck these idiots
Your an idiot, obviously it was a good business decision for Ticketmaster to give them free tickets. It has nothing to do with “Pussification of America” it has to do with sites like barstool that cover the story. I used to like you guys but all you do is write the same negative blogs to every fucking story. Learn some new tricks nerds.
