the fact that 2 of the three points seem irrelevant to you is why I'm so confused about how upset you seem to be. If a fanbase that this clearly favours isnt walking out why the hell are we?
Silence is the same as walking out, but the players are still supported, which we should be wanting. 
If we encourace others not to attend the final and refuse to attend them ourselves then the deal fails.
They're irrelevant to me because we probably won't make the final and I won't be able to afford to go even if we did - therefore they're simply not relevant as protest options for Phoenix fans. That doesn't mean that it isn't a big deal and worth protesting - people who only take a stand when they're personally affected is one of the biggest problems we face in creating a more just society.

I will certainly advocate for others not to attend the final but that's about the least useful form of protest available to me, other than twitter and forum rants.

Silence is easily ignored, walk outs are not, the history of the A-League itself proves this. One protest option might have an effect, the other will be glossed over as if it had never happened.

Have the Fever stated anywhere that a walk out is the official policy? I'm not a part of any decision making group - the most effective protest will be the one advocated for by the leadership so even if I disagree with the consensus approach, I'll go along with it.
