The most abused person in sports: An NFL home team fan

Beyond the fact that they pay hundreds of dollars for tickets, thanks to legalized scalping, that they endure commercial delays and booth reviews, that they pay for parking and lousy food, and that they face traffic jams and the usual fun issues that stem from drunken hordes...

They also face such kindness from the NFL.

The league scheduled its two coldest games at night, with temperatures at their worst.

They not only blackmail the home town fans with the threat of a local TV blackout, but they hold the games in the dark, rather than daylight hours. Amazing.

This will make me feel a little better next time I'm snowed on during early April game at The Stadium.

I wish they had done this last year to save us all the misery of having to watch last season.
