I don't really understand why anyone cares or why this is news. This is a normal thing that many folks do. You have extra tickets, you try to sell them. My brother-in-law does it all the time with his Lions tickets.

Is your brother-in-law a member of the Lions organization? That's the key difference.

No he's not. I still just fail to care, at all.

I'm a hockey fan. If I found out that Zetterberg's wife was selling Wings tickets on Stub-Hub above face value, I still would give no shits.

She couldn't go. Would we rather the seats be empty?

In my life there are things that are important and get thought and energy, this is not one of them.

Outrage is in these days. see Trump...Sanders... and BLM. I've even seen it on detroityes.com

Well the point is, as bham1984/and 401don say, that she could hand them over to a charity or give them to the nanny, cleaning lady, whoever, but not sell them at a premium and broadcast it. Sheesh!

Ms. Stafford doesn't analyze my life and tell me to give my stuff to charity. My friends who live paycheck to paycheck don't look at me and demand I give things to charity.

I did a Google search, "Matt Stafford Charitable Giving", and guess what, he's given more to charity this year than I'll be able to in my entire life. I don't understand why certain transactions that his family does will be scrutinized by the charity police.

They're her tickets. She can do with them as she pleases. She can sit in them. She can tear them up. She can sell them. If she's going to sell them, there's not reason not to to do it at market value. That's how I sell tickets, cars, used furniture, etc...

In just one instance alone, Stafford gave a million dollars for a new football field in Detroit. So if his wife wants to sell some frickin' tickets I frankly don't care.

In my mind, the fact that people are paying attention to this is funny, because of how unimportant it is to me.

You're missing the point. No one is saying "she can't". They're saying it's really, really bad form.

All of us can do many things. We can parade about in KKK robes, we can tweet about how we don't like gays, we can curse at and threaten puppies. All these things are perfectly legal, but they are also in extremely poor taste, especially if you're a public figure.

Please tell me you're joking or being sarcastic.

You're comparing how you shouldn't:

• Be a KKK member
• Be hateful toward gay people
• Verbally abuse puppy dogs

With selling a ticket, that you own, on StubHub?


I'm not missing any points. I get it. Her husband is the QB, and she sold the tickets that she obtained because she either could not or did not want to attend this game in New Orleans.

In my mind, it simply doesn't look bad, nor is it even any of my business what she does with her tickets. They are her tickets. She's giving someone the opportunity to purchase them. If she's asking too much for the tickets, they won't sell. The tickets are worth exactly the amount that someone is willing to pay for them. If you don't like the price she's selling them for, then don't purchase them from her.

Perhaps she feels guilty about living off of her husband's income and wanted to be able to bring in a little cash on her own instead of just pissing the tickets away. Perhaps she's very frugal and doesn't want to waste money. And perhaps it's none of our business what she does with her personal property.

We can live our lives over-analyzing celebrity news and gossip, slobbering over ever single marriage, divorce, nip-slip, car crash, and hell, we can even obsess over not even a celebrity, but his WIFE's decision to sell a ticket that she owns to a football game that she doesn't want to go to.
