Are the caps required to do a stupid dance, post obvious misinformation, or do some sort of brainrot after a win, or what ?

Man, this jersey advertisement is pure horseshit. Fans should absolutely voice their displeasure loudly. We get nothing out of this crap, nobody should defend this. NHL owners can get f***ed

no caps fan is defending this fyi, this is a blatant sellout move

TikTok is a terrible company, perhaps one of the worst. Put FB on there and the outrage wouldn't be as bad (or Instagram), but shit, TikTok? The company that's about to be banned in the US?

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Is anyone else loving the irony of the team in the US capital being sponsored by TikTok after trying to pass laws to ban it?

I mean why would they care , they also sell betting ads and gambling like there is no tomorrow

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Traaaaaash

 

[Svechhammer]

So I guess that means they'll all be good for about 15 second bursts before burning out?

Agreed. Sorry if I seemed outraged, it just grinds my gears. Not happy about all these jersey ads in any sport.

There has been zero news on that for months. Much of that is political theatre.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

That is so f***ing funny and ironic

 

[John Mandalorian]

Washington Capitals’ 2024 Agenda:

1. Get rid of Capfriendly

2. Tiktok ad placement on jerseys

3. Kidnap Santa Claus

 

[Rob Brown]

Agreed. Sorry if I seemed outraged, it just grinds my gears. Not happy about all these jersey ads in any sport.

The worst ones are the ones that are just total opposites of the colour of the jerseys. The Flyers one is bright blue on an orange and black jersey, it looks so out of place. At least some make sense colour wise.

I mean, corporate influence is stamped all over DC in much worse ways, but ya, this sucks.

 

[LeafGrief]

TikTok is the most distilled form of modern day garbage that is destroying the minds of our young (and not-so-young) people, through outrageous amounts of dopamine addiction that cripple attention spans and constant propaganda from internal dissidents and hostile foreign powers. It is drugs, marketed to adolescents, with a strong side of brainwashing. Come for the funny dances, stay for the glorious communist revolution comrade! (I kid you not, I have a friend who has become a communist largely due to TikTok)

It is pure, pure garbage. Therefore, the NHL will gladly embrace it and put it fittingly next to the latest round of gambling ads.

 

[Svechhammer]

I mean to be fair, it is objectively funny that the hockey team in Washington is now sponsored by the company that the US Government in Washington has already said it will ban unless its Chinese owners sell it.

 

[Derailed75]

WOW this is getting a lot of hate for an ad you will not be able to see from the stands or most shots during the game.

I mean I do get it TikToc sucks and whatever, adds suck but in the scope of most adds this is pretty unobtrusive.

Oh absolutely, I think it shows that for all the talk, money is all that matters to the 1% who shape the f***ed society we live in. TikTok is just a bit more obvious a problem than most.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Unpopular opinion, but I care 0% about ads on jerseys. These guys could wear pennies and I wouldn't care, as long as the hockey is good.

 

[ACC1224]

Think the Leafs were sponsored by the Tik Tok before selling out to Milk.

still puzzling a team is sponsored by a generic drink like milk but I'll take it anyday over tiktok

What next, an Apple juice patch?
