Jaguars fan uses lunch break to protest Trent Baalke in clown garb

It’s no secret that much of the Jacksonville fan base is fed up. When the team fired coach Urban Meyer in December after just 13 games, many wanted to see general manager Trent Baalke out the door with him. Baalke doesn’t hold a very strong reputation in the league after the way things played out when he was at the helm in San Francisco, and his association with the Meyer era was enough for many fans to want him gone.

They responded by protesting Baalke’s retention with mustachioed clown profile pictures, which basically are a representation of how poorly the organization has been ran. For the season finale against Indianapolis at home, many showed up wearing full-on clown costumes.

Though the season is over and there is no sign that Baalke’s termination is imminent, the fans aren’t done being heard. And one in particular is taking the #KhlownOut movement very seriously.

Jags fan Kevin Wyatt is using his lunch break at work to keep the protest alive, going to the stadium dressed as a clown.

Even with a clown occupying TIAA Bank Field, it seems unlikely that Khan will change his mind at this point without some outside pressure, such as no coach being willing to take the job. But it goes to show that the fans aren’t happy, and they will continue to voice their displeasure with the direction of the franchise until it changes.
