LMAO I think this will be my last post on the thread I created. Not because it's not a good thread but because instead of people quoting me or responding to what I SAY,, they make things up.... and then you wonder why I come off as patronizing?
To the person that posted saying that I was brushing off peoples opinions or ignoring, your wrong. It's called a discussion, a debate even, there is nothing wrong with disagreeing. To blackandgold that said I was trying to put down the fans, wrong again. I was simply saying that any fan that thinks the nhl isn't going to be affected is being naive.. never said stupid, never insulted or put down anybody.
"people would rather live in America" you said. Statements like that make it impossible not to respond negatively. That statement is so outlandish, so ridiculous, so nuts, incredible is another word. How can you or anybody else possibly say that ? If a guy has a chance to make a million dollars more to play in Russian, he doesn't have children , nothing holding him down, then why wouldn't he? You think Russia is a black hole? Do you understand how russian and other countries treat their american athletes? I know because I used to follow european basketball. In a lot of cases they get free rent in nice housing, free leased cars, gas, meals.. AND MORE MONEY...
The Stars you are right, for the most part won't leave. The leauge WILL NOT FOLD... but a league already not the most popular CAN'T BE HELPED BY COMPETITION... in this case, competition IS NOT HEALTHY FOR THE NHL..
Somebody said just because the nhl is worth less that doesn't matter because the owners are rich. The owners are not rich because of the nhl, they are rich IN SPITE OF the NHL ..... before the lockout, there were very few profitable teams..... it's not rocket science.... numbers are numbers..
anyways, I'll let you guys go nuts with this post and thread,, as eminem says, I'm outtie. Debate is one thing but when I have to constantly respond to people that are making things up, taking things the wrong way , and ignoring key facts I type, this gets old.
But before I go to make my point, here's a question. Go back into this thread and count the number of points ANYBODY found valid? Before you say nothing is, re-read what I wrote..... a discussion is give and take ,, debate,, not bullshit like this....
