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

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Whether it be a player they draft/sign/trade for, a staff member they hire, etc. What's one thing that if your team did, would make you quit on them and never come back?

For me if I find my team protecting confirmed abusers, I would be anti-them asap. Which is honestly why I'm glad the Sens at least cut contact with Formenton well before the investigation for the 2018 Hockey Canada abusers.

[Coffey]

Nothing.

 

[GOilers88]

I don't think I could.

I'll always go back. Actually I just never leave.

 

[hangman005]

I'd probably stop being a fan if they ceased to exist.

 

[Malkinstheman]

If something like the Hawks happened. Employing predators/criminals and actively trying to hide it

 

[Killer Orcas]

Nothing to be honest it's my team. Sure I might stop showing support until someone was removed for something bad. However I'd still be waiting to cheer them on after that.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

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

 

[ChaoticOrange]

One of my first memories of my team was trading Gretzky. I survived the decade of darkness, "tier 2 fans", two game 7 losses in the Cup final, decades worth of terrible management and brutal decision making, and I'm still here.

 

[miscs75]

The NHL allowing Dolan to make more demands and force the NHL to move the Islanders. That’s basically it. Then again that would make me lose all faith in the NHL in general.

 

[PettersonHughes]

If management returned to being incompetent/ treated their fans poorly (like Duane the Sabres fan kind of a situation with knock-offs and misspelled names, or downright botched trades or bad signings), or if they encouraged being the initiator of goonery after the whistles I'd probably get fed up.

 

[knuck]

if the Habs changed their colors to Yellow/Black, I'd be OUT

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Demidov available at 5th overall and passing

So I’m a Browns fan, which I know is weird. I hate Deshaun Watson. I’ve found that I cannot just stop being a fan of a team. But I have also found that I can give a significant amount less of a shit about them. I’ve become more of a football fan than a Browns fan. But I can’t just stop being a fan of something I’ve enjoyed my whole life, is what it is.

 

[DVision44]

If the Devils bailed and moved to Brooklyn like the Nets did

 

[I am not exposed]

If they relocated and ceased to exist.

 

[La Bamba]

Nothing

As an Oiler fan since 2006, I've seen some bad shit but I'm still here

 

[thegazelle]

I can only think of a situation which is not very commonplace. If my team decided to relocate elsewhere. Sure, it's the same players more or less, but for me, my team is tied into the city in which I grew up, so if they move somewhere else, there will be no connection, historic or otherwise.

Full Disclosure: Oilers fan through and through since 1980.

P.S. Even in the Op's case with Ottawa and Formenton...I wouldn't necessarily slag the entire team with the same brush. I would want my team to give the inept management the boot. Look at Chicago - certainly it was a terrible situation, but they got rid of the management/personnel. It is true that employees can taint the view of a company, but most of us are mature enough to see the distinction in specific management/personnel accountability, rather than blame the entire team. There are good and bad people in every organization, sports or otherwise.

 

[Moose Head]

They move to another city

 

[gingerbeardman]

I'm close to reaching that point due to Mike Sullivan.

 

[Hospy]

Threatening to relocate if the city doesn't pay for a new arena

 

[GeeoffBrown]

Moving to Arizona would be a tough one

 

[Suntouchable13]

I don’t think I will quit forever, BUT, if the Leafs re-sign Marner to some ridiculous extension I am done till he is gone. We ain’t winning shit, it would be a waste of time to watch.

 

[Juicy Pop]

If Michkov is the real deal and they waste another franchise player's career then I'm probably just done with sports in general

 

[WatchfulElm]

If they changed their name for the Montreal Canadians.

Or worse : the Montreal Maple Leafs.

 

[MVP Zacha]

If they had Jacob Trouba as their captain.
