Dallas Stars CEO: "We are losing customers for supporting BLM"

Daily Wire
So Canadian citizens kneeling during our anthem and walking out on games because a rapist resisted arrest is pissing off Americam hockey fans?
*shocked*
From my own view - IDGAF what they do on their own time. I respect other peoples views on things and respect their right to protest if they want. However, this past week was the first time since late February that I was going to be able to sit down and watch their game on TV. Last time that happened was when I was at the AAC to see them play the Blackhawks in person, and I shelled out a pretty penny for a club level seat w dozen rows up from the glass. But apparently the fans don't matter in this - the rapist came first, frick the fans.
So I'm saying frick them for putting a rapist higher in their priorities than a fan that has been to games and bought their $250 authentic jerseys.
Edit: spelling fail

According to a report, the president and CEO of the NHL’s Dallas Stars said the team has lost a number of season ticket holders because of the team’s support of Black Lives Matter and protests dealing with race.
Brad Alberts stated, “But we/I stand by our organization’s commitment and support our players 100% to express their views,” as the Dallas News reported.

This is what's called the financial version of "frick around and find out."

Dallas specifically had a BLM support murder 3 police officers on live television that sent the city up
Many in Dallas haven't forgot that.

All they had to do was stay apolitical.
BLM doesn't give a frick about NHL. They want to see you bow to their pressure. That's all.
Fans don't want to see politics mixed in sports.
If they keep doing it, we'll keep it tuned out. For good.

The whole BLM support thing feels like the strength game at a carnival. Except they keep changing how high it has to go for them to be satisfied in the response. Still, supporting the organization is different from feeling that their lives do matter. I don't think anyone is disputing that, and that's where they seem to be stuck. You can agree with the words without agreeing with the group, yet it's still not good enough.

So clueless
It's not because they support the rights of black people. It's because they blindly support BLM.
Had the Leagues and Teams come forward and donate money for inner city infrastructure, education,etc no one gives a shite but the hardcore conservatives(you can find them easily on Political board, they use catchy/clever rasis names for blacks).
My wife did her thesis on how Tests like SAT/ACT are racist to the Black community. Yes, she's a bleeding heart liberal, except when the inner city peeps were trying to steal her car from our drive way. And i told her tests aren't racist, and why, she claimed they aren't given a chance to be prepared.
I said, then Athletes, Businessmen who are black and have money should be funneling money back to inner city to get better teachers, teach family structure,etc. Instead it's White people donating a shite load of time into the inner cities.
And i told her what do all of these cities have in common? Liberal run places that have done nothing to try and improve these communities, mainly because they have their vote regardless. Doesn't take a candidate with an (R) for change, one with an (I) can do wonders with out the need to pander to the party. Demand the candidates do something to help their people and community.
When one has lived the way their gradnparents/parents lived, they will fall in line. It takes a generation of breaking the chains to move on and improve the community.
Honestly, will all of the people out of work, why aren't they in their communities helping others fix their homes up, cutting grass, fixing fences, fixing bad windows, etc?? It start with change, be it.

You people have seen nothing yet. Wait until the NFL season starts. AD, LeBron and the NBA players can keep threatening the owners all they want. The fans are going to take action and boycott all of your this stuff. Just 25% drop in TV and merchandise would crush these ingrates and they may see 50% + of fans gone really soon.

We had Astros season tickets for about 9 years. Haven't had them in 5 years but they call me several times a year trying to get us back.
Same for Rockets. We gave up our club level season tickets about 3 years ago. They call a few times a year trying to get me to do them again.
I CANNOT WAIT for the Astros and Rockets to call me next time.

Major sports(NFL,NBA,MLB,NHL,MLS)ownership is at a crossroads now. I think at least half of the current owners of all these franchises are not down with this "Woke BLM" movement & know this is completely mainstream media & social media driven propaganda meant to politically divide us as Americans for a political cause(Example- George Soros, twitter, BLM being a Marxist money laundering scheme for the DNC, etc).
Current Owners & players who know this entire narrative is BS are basically being held hostage(See-Drew Brees, Ryan Tannehill) & cannot truly speak their mind without being physically or verbally attacked & risk losing everything they have worked for. If I am a wealthy person who could potentially have the means to purchase a franchise I am thinking twice about getting into a mess like this.
I don't think these leagues & these current "woke" players realize the dam that is about to break when it comes to ratings & fans supporting & giving money to these franchises. They reap what they sow & they have no idea how bad it is about to get & how it is going to affect them.

Only the good teams can lose customers and have it be about politics
If the Bengals lose their season ticket holders, they can’t blame it on BLM if they went 2-14 or whatever last season

Why can’t for-profit businesses just deliver a product/service, make money, contribute to the economy and STFU? That goes for burger joints, shoe companies and professional sports organizations. If i went to work tomorrow and decided I’d throw in a short political pitch after every conversation I had with a customer I would expect that customer to resent me for it. I would obviously never do that because I’m not an a-hole. I just don’t know why other people can’t show the same courtesy to the people that keep them in business.

Then they weren’t fans to begin with. Franchise never should’ve left Minnesota.

So who's going to go their games and root for Detroit or Chicago next year?

He is correct. They lost me.
