Arizona Cardinals fans have funded billboards around Phoenix demanding that team owner Michael Bidwill sell the franchise.
Arizona Cardinals fans have funded electronic billboards around the Phoenix area demanding that team owner and president Michael Bidwill sell the franchise. The red and white advertisements display 'SELL THE TEAM. Funded by Cardinals Fans. #BIDWILLOUT.' Social media influencer Nathan Kropp is leading the campaign, with billboards positioned near Loop 202 westbound and Loop 303 in Surprise.
The Arizona Cardinals declined to comment on the billboards. Kropp said he attended Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions, where the team lost 45-21 at home, and felt the majority of fans were rooting for the opposing team. He described the fan response as outraged, saying he had never seen the fan base so upset.
Kropp launched a GoFundMe page around midnight and had raised $2,000 by Thursday morning. By 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, the fundraiser had accumulated over $8,300. The Cardinals have not won a playoff game since 2015 and have now lost four straight games this season after a Week 1 victory.
