Lol. Yeah. I'm the naive one.Of course I realize that it's not easy in practice. Probably impossible.
"Nobody cares about the fans"
Well they should, if they don't want to get booed of the ice and receive death threats (not condoning this, but this stuff will happen) and whatnot on social media. I'm sorry, but you are the naive one if you say players should don't need to care what the fans think. Especially in a market like that.
They do. If they care in Europe and other big markets, they sure do in New York. It's all nice and well to wipe the tiers in dollar notes and ignore social media, until your wife starts getting death threats and your kids are bullied in school. Which is what happens in every big market at some point, because there are enough fanatics out there.You are far too emotional if you think players honestly care or need to care what fans think.
