During spring??

 

[Rufaninga]

During B1G stretch.... Gotta give credit where due

Tickets to vets would a way better move...but it probably doesn’t fit a specific narrative...so I get it

 

[knights1212]

I think it is a really nice gesture. Congratulations to Rutgers.

 

[RU_DIO]

Tickets to Rivals posters would be even better.

I always felt giving tickets to veterans rationalizations would be a good idea.
But this giving federal workers tickets to games also is something to get behind.

Make an annoucement, at halftime, that they're all fired.

They have done that for games as well as first responders.

Generosity isn’t a zero sum game. Good for RU.

Amusingly, one of the article’s Comments points out that the U.S. Senator from NJ, Robert Menendez, endorses this ticket program.

Can we keep the petty politics out of this? C’mon.

 

[socaldave]

This is straight up politics. Don’t fool yourself

Then how do you explain previous military and first responder appreciation days? Leave it to our fan base to unearth a negative from a positive.

Very nice move .
As for vets tickets , a buddy of mine that is a veteran is in some type of program where he gets free or deeply discounted tickets to events such as sports and concerts . I thought he told me that he is sometimes offered rutgers tickets through it. I think the way it works is the veterans organizations buys or gets the tickets from the team or ticket agent and then offers it to the vets.

Good point, That is unexplainable, fed buercratic employees missing a pay check that they will eventually receive vs military They are equivalent
And liberal Rutgers university drawing attention to the political issue around it.
Yes not politics you are right. Next free tix to anyone who has broken the law to get into the USA
Now that would be a sell out, or is it a give out?

[Night Man]

It's true, RU has definitely been accused of being too conservative and this will help them out

 

[Mr_Twister]

Come on, you are way too sensitive. The Menendez comment is light and amusing. You must have laughed. No one is taking sides and poking their finger in anyone’s chest.

It ain’t stupid you ass. Trump is the worst thing to happen to this country in a long, long time. I hope he screws you up your *** like he’s doing to so many others.

And you’re gonna keep looking at it. Lol

Now that is unhinged. You’re a funny, angry guy.

More name calling

 

[Jim_from_RU]

You bet. You’re an a**hole.

 

[socaldave]

And still more

So interesting that the word classy appears in the thread title

Well, the post started off on the right foot with good intentions....

 

[socaldave]

You know what they say about good intentions

 

[RUPete]

You know what they say about good intentions

Gracefully bow out please. You derailed a positive innocuous thread and now you want to play the victim. Just stop, it’s embarrassing.

 

[socaldave]

Just couldn’t pass up the layup, lol, Lol

 

[socaldave]

Just heard that from the possible pool of approximate 500 federal employees impacted by the shutdown within a 30 minute drive radius of Rutgers, No 1 has taken advantage of this classy giveaway. Lol lol lol. Maybe they can throw in free express shuttle service from Washington.

[MADHAT1]

socaldave, you say No 1 has taken advantage of this classy giveaway. Lol lol lol.
Hope you can provided proof of what you claim.

But the financial; situation of those trying to survive without pay might just make it impossible to accept free tickets because of other expenses
involved when attending sporting events like RU Basketball.
Sad you think that's funny

 

[socaldave]

Maybe we should have a canned food drive

[Greene Rice FIG]

Give them free tickets and then bang them for $10 parking!


While politics is being discussed......
Yes the avatar is stupid. Rather see "Lock him up!" or simple "Jail"
Or change the color Red a hair and put the Russian flag on the back

 

[dkostus]

It's only when politics gets involved that I realize how many sad old white men post on this board.
