Minority ownership in any company means you get a vote at the table but in the end your opinion holds no importance if those who hold the majority of ownership disagree with what the minority think or believe .

Bell is the title sponsor. The arena is owned by the CH Group Limited Partnership, which also owns the team.
I thought Bell bought into the Leafs when they were sold? Wouldn't they have to sell Habs to own Leafs?
Edit - I google searched and Bell was not required to sell upon buying MLSE w/Rogers in 2011. The league would have had to issue a waiver, which it apparently has done before.

If anyone needs more proof that Jack Todd is a smug tool, check out these two tweets.
In the first he is a smug know it all. In the second, he is a smug know it all. Just on the exact opposite side.
It’s fine to be wrong, it’s fine to change your mind. The complete lack of humility and self-awareness is the problem.

It's one thing to change your mind. It's a whole other thing to do such a 180' on such short notice. I mean... the second tweet is just ridiculous. It's the doing of an insane man with insane reactions.
why strive for greatness when mediocrity is profitable
That's why so very few read him anymore. He did the same thing at the end of the 2017-18 season, he was always backing Bergevin throughout the season and then the moment the season ended he wrote a piece saying Bergevin needs to go. When I called him out on it on Twitter he blocked me. What a douche.

There are tons of shitty media members in Montreal...Todd is tied with Kelly for the top prize.

Kelly is not in the amateur league, he's a real sports journalist. You might not agree with him, but his columns are accurate and relevant.

I think technically Kelly is an entertainment writer, and his columns are supposed to be from the point of view of a fan. It’s a different approach than the traditional detached sports journalist.
I’ve never had a huge problem with him. He was calling out MB long before anyone else in the media.

I always joked that he read this board before writing his articles. Sometimes, it's almost plagiarism.

All Kelly does is hit hard on the negative to entice clicks to an irrelevant Gazette sports site.
It's not the most important thing at this time, but you wonder what they're going to talk about when there are no sports to talk about.

pillows, bob dylan, food and loads of advertising plugs
That reminds me that I haven't heard a MyPillow ad in quite a while.
We'll probably complain about whatever they choose to talk about, now that they have no sports to talk about.
If this goes on for months, you wonder if Bell will pull the plug (at least temporarily) at some point and simulcast some other non-sports programming or syndicated stuff. The idea that things will be back to normal in a month seems wildly optmistic based upon many articles that I've read.
