Less than 10 Eagles season ticket-holders have canceled over Michael Vick

The Eagles did reach out to those they dub their "premium-service clients," or those who own expensive suites at Lincoln Financial field, sending them a note from Mr. Banner asking that ticket-holders "join us in our support and optimism for Michael as he commits himself to showing Philadelphia and the country he is a changed human being." Surprisingly, there has been little public backlash so far. Less than 10 season ticket-holders have canceled, and other than a call for a boycott of sponsors on the website sackvick.net, there has been little hostility shown toward the Eagles' corporate sponsors. -- Ad Age

All in all, not a big impact for the Eagles. There was no mass boycott or anything that everyone has been claiming they would do.

Of course the season is still yet to start and we will see how many seats are in the stadium then.

BUT BUT BUT EVERYONE and their brother online has season tickets and were canceling, what happened?

I think that the initial outrage was natural but the die hards don't care who plays as long as they win.

Do they mean 10 season ticket holders or 10 premium-service clients who are probably season ticket holders. Right or wrong, win or loose most of the Philadelphia sports fans do support their teams.
