Ngaphandle kweMidlalo yeMetLife. (Ifoto: Rich Schultz / Getty Izithombe) NgeeNew York zebhola ekhatywayo zaseNew York esele zivuthuze zilandelelana zikhokelela kumdlalo wokugqibela, ixesha lebhola ekhatywayo ngoku ligcwele ngokupheleleyo. I-NFL inokwenza kakuhle ukuba ime ikhefu ekubaleni iithelevishini zayo zezigidi kwaye endaweni yoko kugxile ekubeni kutheni bambalwa kwaye bambalwa abalandeli abaya kwimidlalo yabo.
Ukusukela ukunyuka ngo-2007 , Ukuya kwimidlalo yeNFL kuye kwehla rhoqo ngonyaka. Ixabiso eliphezulu ngokuqinisekileyo lidlala indima - amaxabiso etikiti anyuke ngaphezulu kwe-50% kwiminyaka eyi-10 kunye nokupaka ngaphezulu kwe-100%, ngokweNgxelo yeQela leNdawo yeNtengiso yeFan Index Index. Ubungangamsha be-HDTV ngokuqinisekileyo bubalulekile. Kodwa abo bajonge ngqo kwiMet Life Stadium baya kuba benza kakuhle ukuqwalasela esinye isizathu esongezelelekileyo: Abalandeli baphathwa kakubi.
Ngokucacileyo iingxilimbela azinakukhathalela malunga nobunzima obunyamezelwe ngabalandeli bazo.
Kule Cawa iphelileyo, unyana wam oneminyaka eli-13 ubudala kunye nam sipakishe imoto usuku lokwenza umsila kunye nebhola ekhatywayo. Besimenyiwe ukuba sibe ziindwendwe kwindawo yokutyela kwaye sifuna ukufika ngexesha elininzi sizonwabele zonke ezi zinto. Sangena e-Stadium malunga ne-11 kusasa. Sithathe imizuzu engama-45 emgceni ukuya kuloo mnquba sihlawula iidola ezingama-30 ukuze sipake. Kwaye emva koko sanyoshoza ukuya kwimizuzu engama-90 ecaphukisayo, sijikeleza yonke indawo ngaphandle kokufumana indawo enye, kwaye singakwazi ukujika okanye sicele nabani na ukuba asincede. Okokugqibela, i-cretin enesinxibo esimthubi isixelele ukuba akusekho kupaka, yiya kwilog engaphandle.
Ndabongoza ukuba siqhube ngemizuzu engama-90 kwaye asizange sibone nayiphi na indawo-ngaba kukho apho kuya khona?
Andinaso unomathotholo. Yiya kwiluphu yangaphandle.
Siye kwilog yangaphandle. Kwindawo eyayinendibano — kanye kwibhokisi endandihlawule kuyo iidola ezingama-30 ukuze ndimise iyure enesiqingatha ngaphambili — lo mfo wazama ukusihlawulisa iidola ezingama-30 kwakhona. Ndabonisa irisiti yethu. Uthe kakuhle, kusemva ko-12: 30-ufike emva kwexesha. Ndamxelela ukuba akubanga late xa ndifika pha ngo 11 ndagqiba ndangena kwi parking ngo 11:45. Uthe, Kulungile, emva koko akufuneki uhlawule kwakhona, kodwa akukho ndawo yokupaka apha.
Kutheni wayezimisele ukuthatha i $ 30 yethu yesibini xa kwakungekho mabala ndicinga ukuba ngekhe ndazi. Sijikile sajonga indawo engaphandle kwesiza malunga nesiqingatha seyure. Kwaye emva koko sanikezela. Njengabaninzi bebhola ekhatywayo veki nganye, mna nonyana wam sawubukela umdlalo kumabonakude ekhaya.
Sichithe malunga neeyure ezintathu, iidola ezingama-30 ezinkozo, kwaye kunjalo ke nathi kufuneka sitye amatikiti, nokudana kwabo babeza kusamkela. Ubungqina besona sigxina sikhulu sezithuthi eNew Jersey ukusukela ngeBridgegate
Ngokucacileyo iingxilimbela azinakukhathalela malunga nobunzima obunyamezelwe ngabalandeli bazo. Abantu abangama-631,738 ababeye kwimidlalo yabo yasekhaya yasibhozo kunyaka ophelileyo bamele awona manani asezantsi ukusukela ngo-2009, behle ngaphezulu kwama-10 000 ukusukela oko babethathe inxaxheba ngo-2012, unyaka emva kokuphumelela kwabo kwi-Super Bowl XLVI. I-10,000 yabalandeli abalahlekileyo ayikho ngaphezulu kwempazamo yokujikeleza kulo naliphi na iqela le-NFL, ngoku elifumana ingeniso ngeendlela ezizezinye zokuyila. (Ukuba kukho nabani na phaya ongekakulungeli ukukrwela kuhlaselo lweentengiso zeFanDuel kunye neDrafKings, yazi ukuba eyangaphambili abaxhasi Amaqela ali-16 ngelixa abaxhasi bokugqibela be-12.) Kodwa kunzima ukuyisusa iqela elibonisa ukungakhathali kubalandeli bayo.
Kudala ukuba, ukunika umhlobo izihlobo zamatikiti ebhola ekhatywayo sisipho esikhethekileyo. Ngoku, kunje ngokunika umntu injana - umamkeli unokuthembela kwiitoni zengxaki, inkcitho eninzi, kwaye mhlawumbi nohlobo oluthile lwamava angalibalekiyo xa sele kugqityiwe. Ingxaki kakhulu kwingqondo yeNFL. U-Eric Grubman, usekela-mongameli olawulayo we-NFL wamashishini kunye nokusebenza kweshishini, uxelelwe i Ijenali yeWall Street , Amava asekhaya aphucukile kwaye atshiphu, ngelixa amava ebaleni lokuziva ngathi akakhange. Yinto leyo ekufuneka siyenzile malunga nayo.
Ngokuchanekileyo. Kwaye iBlue Blue sele ikhangeleka njengeqela elithanda abalandeli balo ukuba bangaboni ntsebenzo yalo. Emva kwemidlalo emibini, baliqela elidlala ngentliziyo encinci, ngokuhambelana ngokupheleleyo nombutho oqhutywa ngentliziyo encinci.
