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

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?
Posted on 8/30/20 at 4:03 pm to Horsemeat
He is correct. They lost me.

His statement is obvious corporate PR. He wants to show the Stars organization is suffering but in spite of that, they support the players. Most season ticket holder cancellations are because there are no games to attend and most likely won't be next season either.

BLM and it’s movement appears to terrorize any person who doesn’t agree with them. And they have the backing of the bias American media.
Does anyone remember the celebrations that the Iraqi people were doing when then President Saddam Hussein was in charge ? Were these citizens really celebrating him as their leader ? More likely, they feared that if they did not worship Hussein that their family members would be tortured or beheaded.
These owners and fans need to say this is enough. We support equality for all but we aren’t going to be blackmailed by BLM. The liberal media is the Satan of this organization. If it doesn’t end, there will be a racial war in this country- the likes we have never seen.

Yea right

There must have been a substantial number of cancellations. Otherwise he wouldn’t be talking about it.

Context and details matter, my dude.
I'm not defending Guyger's actions but this is a terrible example to play gotcha with.

Well good bye pro sports other than the nfl. I don’t think the nfl will completely lose its base if you go off the saints talk. They have some major league cucks as fans

Surprised the vote tally in support of this is 83-7. Maybe there is less soy here than rumored

Zappas consumes so much soy that his wife has not one boyfriend but three

This board has the biggest idiots.
They moved in 1993. They have now been in Dallas for as long as they were in Minnesota.
Their fans don't have to put up with being insulted.

well IMO, there is a hierarchy to how important issues are that we let divide us, and we are shifting to the lower rungs of that hierarchy
In prosperous times where everything is good, maybe you argue about the legality of abortion or the other standard hot button issues, and we can preoccupy our time with discussing the salary cap rules or how good a certain dynasty is.
But the need for law and order to maintain a society and the idea that our society is worth maintaining is the fundamental bottom tier of that hierarchy where I think most people tend to agree with one another. It is not contentious to say we need a consistent, codified system of laws that are met with enforcement when broken. Because this idea is seemingly under some degree of attack, people will find themselves allying with those they previously disagreed vehemently with on the less fundamental issues.
Once we move past this, we will divide ourselves once more on less important matters, but right now I think many are looking at something of an existential threat in a growing ideaology.
