Isn’t the point that the Cardinals never needed these gimmicks in the past?Horseradish wrote: ↑17 Jun 2025 19:21 pmWhich also isn’t exclusive to the Cards.

Maybe because it’s an organization that’s lost its way, and I don’t think they even realize it?Cranny wrote: ↑17 Jun 2025 19:44 pmWhy do you turn everything into a negative about the Cardinals?desertrat23 wrote: ↑17 Jun 2025 19:37 pmIsn’t the point that the Cardinals never needed these gimmicks in the past?Horseradish wrote: ↑17 Jun 2025 19:21 pmWhich also isn’t exclusive to the Cards.

Define “the past”. They’ve had downturns that are worse than this and yeah, they had gimmicky ways to get fans in. Do you expect them to not try to make money when losing?

Because they've won 90 or more games in 3 out of the last 5 full seasons.
