You Are A Fool If You Don't Think The Marlins Are Getting Rid Of Their Orange Jerseys To Spite Marlins Man

This. Means. War. If you haven’t been following along, then you’re missing out on the hottest feud since Biggie and 2Pac. Back in December, Derek Jeter held a town hall meeting for Marlins season ticket holders that was attended by none other than Marlins Man himself. At that meeting, Marlins Man declared that he would not be renewing his season tickets because the organization was a joke and the team was in shambles.

Last week, Marlins Man tried to strike a deal with the team, offering them $200,000 for four season ticket seats behind home plate over the next three seasons, which was under the price that the team was asking for them at face value. Marlins Man felt that the team was so bad that he had grounds to make them a take it or leave it offer, and the Marlins did not take it. They, instead, countered with two different offers that were not to Marlins Man’s liking, and as a result, Marlins Man will not have season tickets for the Marlins for the first time since their inaugural season in 1993.

Things have since gotten chippy between the two sides with Marlins Man doing an interview recently where he called Jeter a “virgin”, perhaps not to the sexual nature but rather to describe his inexperience as an executive. And now we find out that the Marlins are ditching their orange jerseys — you know, the jersey that was made famous not by any player but by Marlins Man.

It’s just sad that it’s come to this. Since taking over the Marlins, Jeter has exiled every person of significance in the entire organization. From players, to ambassadors, to front office members, to scouts, to mascots, to famous fans. You name it, and they’ve been axed by Jeter. Marlins Man has every right to push back against his former favorite team, but for them to push back, and to this extent, is just petty and sad. To not just force Marlins Man out, but to then banish his humble existence and legacy is uncalled for.

Before this, I wanted the two sides to resolve this issue, but now I just want to see Marlins Man end up with an organization where he can finally be appreciated.
