Another time, another Marlins fan[s] turning against the team. No, they didnat business each of their great players except Giancarlo Stanton this time around. No, Jeffrey Loria didnat write a letter to Marlins supporters. What did happen? Well, according to the Miami New Times, a few longtime Marlins season ticket holders made management miserable. And you wouldnat like Marlins management when itas sad. [Jan and Bill Leon have] paid thousands for front-row season tickets since 1998. But this past year, following the group installed an billboard dangerously obscures surface balls and their view is blocked by that, the Leons asked to move in to a different section. Their reward? A lawsuit threat. More particularly, the Marlins sent the Leons a page (itas embedded in the Brand New Times story, but you is able to see a bigger edition of it here) in which they observe that the Leonsa payment for their 2013 seats (over $25,000), in accordance using their two-year season ticket agreement, was due in September of a year ago. aShould you fail to remit the outstanding payment total within twenty (20) days of the date of this communication [ed. note: the letter is dated March 8], the Marlins reserve the best to follow any and all proper legal and equitable remedies offered to it in those days under the Premium Seat Agreement and under the law[.]a Jan Leon even presented perhaps the greatest summation of Marlins fansa collective attitude place ever seen: aTheyave pooped on fansa feelings for years.a Therefore, another situation of the Marlins being the absolute worst? Wella definitely not, actually, if the Marlins arenat packed with it (big if, granted). Why? Because while Jan Leon said the Marlins wouldnat shift their seats despite their requests, the Marlins said this: We have offered Ms. Leon numerous opportunities to move to a different seat area, and everytime she's refused to move. Also, based on images in the New Times story, hereas a of the Leonsa seats before and after the billboard was mounted (only pay attention to the natural foam; the cameramen in the second photograph were gone by the time the game started ): Itas a a' and provided the $25,000+ theyare spending, the Leons have a right to voice a about any difference a' but weare not sure itas a game-changing difference. And if the Marlins did provide the Leons other seats while they maintain, then this is a lot more nuanced than most athe Marlins are terriblea experiences. However: we donat think itas too revolutionary to suggest that the Marlins havenat earned our undying trust in regards to the way they conduct business (Jose Reyes would straight back us there, we think), and that they, of all businesses, should take especially gently in dealing with supporters who are upset with them, in the aftermath of the outrage over the offseasonas fire sale. And thatas why, even when the Marlins at the very least have some debate they werenat in the incorrect in this instance, we donat feel negative revisiting the teamas Facebook site and placing some of the newest angry missives from supporters who, months later, still feel betrayed. Under a post that asked for lover expectations and desires for possibility Christian Yelich, whoas having a good spring: And under a promotion for deals at the Marlinsa standard online shop, including a photo of a toaster that puts a Marlins logo imprint in bits of toast: Safe to state, if thatas where lover view of the Marlins is today, theyad best a' at least for public image uses a' just jeopardize lawsuit against fans who really, really deserve it.
