So you really think by preaching this you're going to make a difference? You know what, I like the stuff I bought. Regardless of if we win the cup or not (in the case of a win, I"ll go on another shopping spree) I'm very happy with the products I purchased.
If you cared so much about the league using us at a later date, then you should just stop watching the sport all together.
This sport is a business, I"m smart enough to understand that. No matter how much they're making, they're entitled to fight for what they think they deserve. While that may effect my enjoyment occasionally, I can live with it. Clearly you're struggling with that.
I save more money then most people on this planet, if I choose to spend 40 bucks on a dumb hat, I'll gladly do so.
This playoff run is something I've never witnessed and won't ever forget. If I want a few mementos who are you to criticize me?
