HFBoards, cries about stagnant salary cap.

HFBoards, cries about steps taken to increase revenue stream.

It's barely visible. People just like to complain..

 

[norrisnick]

In the actual popular sporting leagues in the world, the annual new jersey reveal is an event.

It's time for every team to come up with an iconic logo/seal that ends up in the corner with an ad taking center stage.

Keep ‘em off the fan jerseys at least, I’m not paying hundreds of dollars to advertise for a sports betting company.

 

[Sigh]

Gross.

Each post is written by an individual believe it or not, HFBoards is not a hivemind.

I mean, if you want to treat a forum with thousands of members as a single entity with a singular opinion so you can create some false contradiction, you do you.

If you two want to pretend that those are minority opinions around here? Knock yourselves out.

Dreaded this day for a while. Yeah it's small bit it's still noticeable , also we have the ads on the helmets too and they are plastered all over the ice in more spots now. We know it's a buisness but it still sucks to see it. People aren't babies for having to traditional things go away.

I'd have a lot more respect for the opponents of jersey ads if I thought they were doing something to meaningfully protest them instead of just whining about them online.

And, honestly, if ads in various places bother someone a lot, whey doesn't that person just stop watching the NHL and put the energy they would have spent watching and commenting on the NHL into some other activity.

...and if you want to keep attacking straw men, feel free.

Why am I being held to some sort of HS debate team standard when the thread is basically a shitpost/meme fest from the onset?

You accused people who dislike jersey ads of being hypocritical crybabies...

I'm asking myself the bolded more and more lately.

I mean, c'mon guys. The league has been struggling for revenue so this was a necessary desperation move to keep them afloat.

Oh, wait. Nevermind. The NHL set a record for revenue last season, which Bettman attributes to better TV ratings and growing interest in the game.

Bettman says NHL projected to set revenue record this season

Bettman said the league will surpass $5.2 billion in revenue for this season.

It's almost as if the NHL used a global pandemic as an excuse to push through a plan they'd already had in the works.
