Giants fan cancels season tickets over 'threatening legalese letter' from team
Ending any long-term commitment isn't an easy decision, unless you're a New York Giants season ticket holder, it it appears.
A season subscriber to Giants season tickets recently found his account was canceled via what he deemed threatening correspondence after informing the team he was not going to renew.
From NJ Advance Media:
Kenneth Lang, a longtime season ticket holder, posted a letter on LinkedIn announcing that he was not renewing his plan for another year. Lang said he had several discussions with Giants sales staff to keep his tickets. After he stood firm in his decision, the team sent him a stern letter dated from June 2, telling him his season tickets were canceled.
In the letter, the Giants stated that Lang was in 'default' of his season ticket holder agreement.
'We are available to discuss how we can keep you as part of the Giants Season Ticket family so that you continue to enjoy the access and benefits that only our season ticket members enjoy. We are disappointed that we were unable to resolve the default under the Season Ticket Agreement. Therefore, this letter serves as our NOTICE OF TERMINATION of the Season Ticket Agreement. We prefer not to take this step, and ask that you seriously consider our invitation to discuss your account for potential reinstatement ... please see the enclosed letter from Giants Stadium LLC terminating that agreement. The Giants reserve all rights under the Season Ticket Agreement and applicable law.'
Not sure what the issue is here. The client wanted out of the contract -- of which renewal is optional -- and the team obliged. Perhaps it was the manner in which the club acted and the language used.
'All because I decided it wasn't worth my investment (time and money) to renew New York Football Giants season tickets,' Lang wrote, per NJ.com. 'I had several conversations with sales reps leading up to this. To send a threatening legalese letter to try one more time to get me to renew ... well Amy Matlins let's just say this didn't warm my heart.'
'I used to be able to justify the expense as a day with my kids,' Lang continued. 'Not anymore, between the abusive fans, the hours it takes to get in/out of MetLife and the prohibitive cost of refreshments. And that's not even talking about the product on the field. This may be a specific example, but if you're dissatisfied with a product or service, act on that.'
All valid points. But, once again, he wanted out and the Giants obliged. Nothing to see here.

MLB rumors: Yankees, Giants monitoring Pirates for trade
The post MLB rumors: Yankees, Giants monitoring Pirates for trade appeared first on ClutchPoints. The New York Yankees and the San Francisco Giants both appear to be rolling toward the playoffs with plenty of baseball left to play this season, but there is always room for improvement and that is no different with these two. As the trade deadline continues to get closer and closer, both teams could be looking for upgrades at certain spots. Advertisement On the other end of the spectrum, teams who are falling out of the race will be looking to get future assets back for some of their veteran players. The Pittsburgh Pirates are one of those squads, and infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa is one of the names that could be on the way out. The Yankees and Giants are two teams that could be in the market for Kiner-Falefa, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today. 'The New York Yankees and San Francisco Giants are keeping a close eye on versatile Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa, who should be available at the trade deadline,' Nightengale wrote. Kiner-Falefa is hitting .280 this season, so he could be a solid piece who gets on base at the bottom of either of these lineups. He still isn't producing very many runs, but he can still be a good addition for cheap. He is also a solid player in the field that would add depth to the middle infield of both squads. Advertisement Of course, if the Yankees do end up adding the 30-year old, it would be a reunion after he played in pinstripes in 2022 and 2023. The Yankees are just coming out the other side of a brutal offensive slump after blowing out the Orioles 9-0 on Saturday night while the Giants are in the middle of a very tight series with the Boston Red Sox. As it stands, the Giants are just 3.5 games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West, so it makes sense why they would be trying to improve and get back on level terms with the defending champs. On the other side, the Yankees are in the lead in the AL East but are fending off a spirited push from the Tamps Bay Rays and the Toronto Blue Jays. While it may not be the flashiest thing to do on paper, adding a player like Kiner-Falefa could be the difference between a division title and a wild card spot in these tight races.

Odell Beckham Delivered Quick Response to NY Giants Demand
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Waiting for his next NFL team to call, free agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. seems open to that team being the New York Giants. As Beckham was one of many pro athletes to flock to Fanatics Fest this weekend, the veteran wide receiver was ordered by an audience member to join the Giants. An amused Beckham gave the fan what he wanted. "I got you," said the 32-year-old wideout. A fan tells Odell he should sign with the Giants at Fanatics Fest. 'I got you,' Odell Beckham Jr. 👀 (via @AryePulliNFL) — SleeperGiants (@SleeperGiants) June 21, 2025 Life in the NFL hasn't treated Beckham too well lately. Although his 2021 run with the Los Angeles Rams allowed him to earn his first Super Bowl ring, it came at a tough cost. After scoring in the Super Bowl, Beckham left the game during the first half with a knee injury. The team feared he tore his ACL. Beckham's worst fear was confirmed. Since Beckham's eight-game run with the Rams, he took a season off for recovery and joined the Baltimore Ravens for the 2023 NFL season. In 14 games with the Ravens, Beckham caught 35 passes for 565 yards. He ended up scoring three touchdowns during the regular season.

Odell Beckham #13 of the New York Giants runs in for a touchdown during their game against Los Angeles Chargers at MetLife Stadium on October 8, 2017 in East Rutherford, New two playoff games with the Ravens, Beckham caught just four passes for 34 yards. He failed to find the end zone in both games. Last year, Beckham looked forward to another fresh start as he joined the Miami Dolphins for the year. He started the season off on the PUP list, dealing with an injury. By October, Beckham finally made his Dolphins debut. He appeared in just nine games. After catching nine passes for 55 yards, Beckham and the Dolphins agreed to part ways. The veteran wide receiver was waived in mid-December. He hasn't been picked up since. Beckham is a long way from the player he was when he joined the Giants as their 12th overall pick in 2014 out of LSU. At the time, Beckham burst onto the scene with a 1,305-yard campaign as a rookie, scoring 12 touchdowns. He dominated secondaries throughout his first three seasons, averaging over 1,300 yards per season and totaling 35 touchdowns. During the 2017 season, Beckham played in just four games as he dealt with an ankle injury. Although he managed to cross the 1,000-yard threshold for the fourth time as a member of the Giants in 2018, New York traded Beckham to the Cleveland Browns during the 2019 offseason. Since leaving, Beckham eventually made it clear that he was still quite fond of his time with the NY Giants. It doesn't come as a surprise that he didn't shoot down the idea of going back to them recently. For more New York Giants and NFL news, head over to Newsweek Sports.
