Re: You guys have won me over!!!

dude, you're not paying attention.

We're Sabres fans- we wouldn't say "**** the Sabres"

It's "**** the FO for ****ing over the Sabres"

how much have you spent on Sabres merch and tickets? And instead of rewarding you, the FO completely ****s the team over. Doesn't that bother you at all?

Re: You guys have won me over!!!

see, this is the difficult thing about sports.

Sports teams are essentially corporations. With any other corporation, if they **** up, you just stop dealing with them and go to a competitor.

However, with sports teams there is an element of loyalty. When the product is crap, only bandwagoners jump ship. This, unfortunately, leaves very few mechanisms for the fans to express displeasure with the way things are being run. If we stop buying tickets and merch, then the team has no money to improve and may eventually leave town. If we don't stop buying tickets and merch, the team still profits and thus has no incentive to invest in improvements.

Re: You guys have won me over!!!

The teams never intended on trying to win. Their plan was to get close so everyone would by tickets and Jerseys and then pull the rug out after it was too late.
