Why does the NHL hate their fans?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I can tell you that it is very easy to hate people who have unreasonable expectations of you. That said, I don’t think you’re asking the right question. Sports are crazy big money, and money is one of those things that people can be very particular about, especially if they don’t think that they’re getting enough. I don’t know who is locking out whom, but I am certain that somebody feels under-compensated. If you’re worried about the NHL’s reputation, you might try bringing up all of the crap that goes on with baseball.
