This is a long one, but here are my feelings on the Dolphins failed 2024 season and the decision to keep Grier/McDaniel. Dolphins fans can choose to be part of the SOLUTION or continue to be part of the problem. Maybe it's time for Dolphins fans to have a "pause year" or a "reset year" from the organization. Speak with your wallet, don't blindly give the money over, don't blindly support the Dolphins off-the-field efforts/causes, and don't be their ATM anymore. You have a voice. There are more Dolphins fans than people who work in the front office. Let them hear your voice! It is a personal decision all fans have to make, but if you are going to financially support them in all aspects of their business and co-sign on the decisions of Stephen Ross and how he operates this team, then you don't have the right to complain. You surrender that right. Sports teams are essentially a "public trust" with the unwritten understanding that the fans will show up, buy the merchandise, support the local team, and do their part. At what point does ownership do their part? Miami Dolphins Fans have done their part for many, many years and have had a bad product shoved down their throats; it's time fans hold the ownership accountable after all of these years, and it's time for ownership to step up and do their part. It didn't happen with the news of last night and the statement from Mr. Ross. But Dolphins fans, you have a voice; let them hear your voice and let them know the support can and will go away. I'm not saying Dolphins fans should go away forever, but maybe some time apart is needed. Like in any broken relationship when things aren't going well, everyone needs to go on a "break" for a bit and spend some time apart. And maybe if Dolphins fans take a season or two off, take a step back, don't financially support the organization blindly with their wallet, and make the organization feel some pain, then and only then can this relationship be repaired, and we can all get back to a better place.
