I'm sorry but most of you couldn't sound more self righteous and, to be frank, older than dirt about us having a group of fans that call themselves the 5th line. They are there to support the club, after that nothing else really matters does it? I am struggling to find the logic of some on this board, so often you complain about there being opposing team fans in the building, and now you're complaining about there being Blue Jacket fans in the building.
Enjoy the fact that there are people who want to get involved with this hockey club. It may come as a surprise to some of you that going to the game can be a social event where you can make friends who share a common interest and want to develop their own experience at the games. If they're being respectful and cheering for the Blue Jackets then what's everyone freaking out about? Quit pissing and moaning because the team you love has more fans now, you sound like a bunch of hipsters whose old favorite band is now playing stadium tours.
I've been involved in some of the best HF debates before, but this... this is the best.
I'm not gonna go on about it but since I feel a little called out here (older than dirt?? FYI pal, hipsters and stadium tours don't mix!) I'll just say that if you're gonna put it out there like that, hashtag and all, don't be surprised when other people who like the same team you do aren't compelled to represent that like in the same way.
I enjoy talking to people at the games but I don't think of it as a social event. Just my wiring, not a joiner.
Anyway, I'm not freaking out, I just think it's lame. I figure, leave it the young professionals employed by the CBJ to come up with slogans and stuff. I'm just a guy who likes the team, I don't need to be sold on it.
But different strokes, right? The 5th Line movement will live on and so will my and my buddies' chuckles.
