    What I have noticed is that fans always complain and ask for things on the internrt/social media but during games we are never vocal or organized to chant or express our dissatisfaction with the way things are going. For example in South American and Europe, fans will chant all in unison to express themselves or show up to the training ground to express themselves whn they don't like things and it works plenty of times. Idk maybe we can find a way to express our dissatisfaction with our coaches or players at certain times during the game.

    Just a thought

    Why not? Well, I guess it's what we call 'Respect' ... afterall fans don't run the team and aren't coaching the team. They are meant to be fans and support the team in good and bad days ...

    Well if we're the ones who buy tickets, jerseys, merchandise and stuff shouldn't we have a say in things since we are the ones who are giving them millions of dollars to play?

    You do have a say. Stop buying tickets, jerseys, merchandise and stuff.

    I only know that in soccer there are certain level of senior members who can take part in Front Office meetings.

    In Europe.

    No one has ever amounted any change whatsoever by passive protest, which is why you're encouraged to do so by the powers that be

    what would happen in Europe or South America is basically the equivalent of this:


    Once a month, a group of Red Rowdies would have a meeting with Morey where they share all concerns.


    but stuff like that simply doesn't happen in states.

    I just don't see how players/staff/management can just let it slide, based on these past games, it will only get worse.

    All Morey would have to do is play the national anthem over and over again in a loop and the Rowdies would just continuously yell every time they heard "Rockets" until they forgot why they attending the meeting in the first place.

    Next loss, I'm burning the f'n Toyota Center down!

    Seriously though, I think the OP has a good point. Just have no idea how to go about it, nor can I really prioritize it.

    That's the attitude of Houston Nfl fans hence Houston has not ever made the super bowl.

    Because in Americas people have jobs, hobbies and basketball is entertainment, a distraction.

    In South America people have nothing else but their teams.
