What's one thing that would make you completely quit your team and never come back?

[Auston Marlander]

I couldn't. How do I know? I tried with my football team. I've been a Browns fan since I was a child, so when they came back I was all aboard. However thing we're and have been rough. After 2015, I thought it was time to move on. I was a big Larry Fitzgerald fan, so I switched to the Cardinals. I didn't even make it a full year, I just wasn't into it. I didn't actually care about the team.

If I couldn't do it with the Browns, there is zero chance I could drop the Leafs.

 

[Byron Bitz]

I don’t know how long I could have continued being a Sens fan under Melnyk or if I could have continued being a Blackhawks fan after their scandal. I definitely could not continue as a Penn State fan after Sandusky. However, I think I could have gotten past the New Orleans Saints bounty scandal.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

The ONLY time I ever considered it was return of the Jets, my hometown team.

But I moved to Toronto in 1999 so by the time the Jets returned I had almost 12 years invested in Toronto and I couldn't make the jump.

I stayed loyal to the Leafs and I made the right choice because now I get to watch the best goal scorer in the game every night.

But I will say this as somebody that remembers the save our Jets rallies that my parents took me to.

As somebody that remember the school fundraiser that I took part in

It's always been f*** Arizona for stealing the Jets

It's ALWAYS going to be f*** Arizona for stealing the Jets.

if Winnipeg wins a cup I will be FILLED with joy for that city because that city deserves it and that city is home.

But I can't make the jump I'm in to deep with the Leafs

Billionaire Jeremy f***ing Jacobs not paying his 10$ hourly staff during a world wide pandemic sealed the deal. I sold every bruins thing I have for 30 years got my tattoo removed and pray every night that human garbage mr burns incarnate dies bc the world will be better with people like him not in it

So you no longer root for the bruins?

 

[tTheVeganWoofMate]

So you no longer root for the bruins?

I root for them to lose.
The more they win the more money that scum gets.
Thought that was clear with “ I got my bruins tattoo removed”
Tattoo removal is not fun btw
Only one real likable guy on the team for me nowadays anyway. (88)
Hopefully he forces his way to Gotham soon.

 

[Killswitch]

I'm a Leaf fan. I'm also a Detroit Lions fan. I guess i like the abuse is what I'm trying to say

 

[Tie Domi Esquire]

I used to say never. But I've never felt more disrespected than the Leafs and some fellow fans/market have made me feel over the past 5-6 years. I can't support people that have contempt and hatred for me. This coinciding with the way the game and coverage has devolved over the years, I'm almost done with the NHL altogether.

 

[PhysicalGraffiti]

It's ok you don't know what facts mean. That's what google and the dictionary are for. So you can learn.

That's literally what I said to you, guy.

If google is how you get your facts, that would explain your broad attack of several players. You'd find your opinions all those people are pieces of shit are based on others providing their opinions and often being wrong,

But you obviously are a perfect person, so life must be awesome.

 

[The Panther]

Well, let's see now:

-- When I was 12, my team traded away the greatest player of all time, who'd just scored 192 points in 82 games, while scoring the Cup-winning goal, winning the Conn Smythe, and lifting the Cup in his previous game. (They traded him -- to a division-rival and thus guaranteeing the fanbase maximum pain -- so that the team owner could pay the bills on his sausage plant.)

-- Then, when I was 15, my team lost / traded away: their Cup-winning head coach; a multiple Hart-winning Hall of Fame forward; a Rocket-winning Hall of Fame forward and Selke candidate; another regular All Star forward and playoff stud; a Hall of Fame goalie; a future 50-goal scorer; and a Cup winning Dman who was a winning member of Canada Cup '91. (For this, they got back... 95 games of post-prime Bernie Nicholls and one season of Vince Damphousse.)


I still cheer for this team.

So, the answer to the thread question, evidently, is
NOTHING.

 

[CloudYeller]

I watched the Cowboys win three Super Bowls. I watched the Cowboys then go on to become an absolute meme of a team over the next twenty years. "Okay, this wasn't our year. But NEXT YEAR!" I actually checked out of football entirely after 2007 or so. Why bother? I decided to start watching again last year and became a dedicated Cowboys hater. It's much more fun to watch them inevitably lose in the playoffs now. So that's what it would take. Years of upper tier mediocrity without any hint of change coming.

Also covering up the rapin' and the diddlin'. If something like the Blackhawks situation came out about the Stars or Texas Rangers I would absolutely abandon them until not only everyone directly involved was out, but everyone that was involved in covering it up. If it goes all the way to the owners, it will be a long time before I'm back.

 

[behemolari]

Getting reverse swept in the SCF , I’d burn all my jerseys and probably just quit sports in general.

it was awfully close to me

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

Relocation or the owner would have to do something beyond the pale. Everyone else currently on the team / FO probably won't be there in 10 years anyway.

 

[DaveG]

My team moved once and I stayed a fan, though mind you they moved to where I had just moved the year before. It would take circumstances such as moving to a city with a fanbase that literally hates our very existence after ownership utterly runs the team into the ground.

I think had Dundon not stepped in and PK sold the team to ownership from QC that would have been it for me. Still would have been a hockey fan, just would go back to mostly following the NCAA level of the game which is where I started as a hockey fan to begin with.

Again, google is a great tool. You can even use it to look up the things those blokes did, which are facts.

 

[Sol]

I gotta keep it 100. I wouldn’t care if management is hiding scandals or whatever. That’s between the victims, attorneys, and the organization. Has nothing to do with me being a fan. The Kings brass can have a cock fighting ring and I wouldn’t care. As long as my team is winning I am happy. I watch hockey cause I like it. My morals as a random person with no influence in the organization is pointless and meaningless. Let the media blow them up. I don’t care on a personal level.

Just win and don’t suck. For me to stop watching the Kings is if the Kings hit another rebuild without making anything of the last rebuild WHILE Blake is running the new rebuild. If Blake is still here with another rebuild I will definitely not watch

 

[Theodore450]

If we traded for Mitch Marner

 

[NVious]

If I found out one of my players had ever laid a bet on any sporting even, I nearly burned all my Leafs gear upon hearing a rumor that Samsonov had bet 20 rubles on a 3rd division Japanese curling match.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

I have a mighty ducks tattoo.... So hopefully nothing.

Just tell everyone you were drunk when you got it and asked for a Donald Duck fighting Mighty Mouse tattoo and the guy thought you said Mighty Ducks.

 

[PhysicalGraffiti]

Yes, you can see many times accusations occurred which were later unproven. Maybe dig a little deeper than the first Wikipedia entry, not fact based always, and you can find there's more to every story.

But believing all accusations and rumors is better.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

These weren't unproven.

They're fact.

Lol you really don't know what fact is and it's hilarious you continue to show that.

I'm done with you and your virtue signaling through ignorance.

It's crazy how far people will go to simp for assholes.

Ignorance is ignoring the facts and the facts are there. Those players are pieces of shit and the NHL and it's fan base happily ignores it as along as they help their teams win.

I don't want to be a part of that sort of fandom and will push back on it and have. I've listed players that did shitty things and they're fact.

You seem mad about it. Either you sympathize with what they did or feel as though they're just the good ole boys being boys that were getting torn down by women. Another toxic ideology by sports fandom.

 

[Snap]

Suffered as a Leafs fan for too long. Sunk cost fallacy. I'll never give up.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I'd say sharing the same fanbase as Jesse Pollock but it could be worse. Probably relocation.
