Someone needs to write to the NHL regarding the Philadelphia Flyers' owner using their product. . .

[wndycty]

. . .for partisan political activity. Don't deal with the Flyers put the heat on the NHL, the Flyers owner has shown himself to be a classless partisan hack.

I was against the thought of candidate Obama throwing out the 1st pitch at a Sox game, I'm happy to see him do so in a non election year.

As Michael Jordan said when he didn't campaign for Harvey Gant "Republicans buy Nikes too." He understood that his appeal was to those who share his political beliefs and those who don't. And before this becomes a bash Michael Jordan thread he has given to Obama (at least in his senate race).

1. Just emailed the NHL. Ed Snider is a tool...I agree

that I wouldn't bother to send an email to the Flyers...send it directly to the NHL.

2. Unfortunately, so is Gary Bettman, NHL Commissioner. Total tool!

3. Oh, but Philly fans could make this REALLY embarrassing for her (and the team owner)

I have faith in Philly fans, of any pro-sport, making this ugly. They're going to be pissed at the start for all the security shit.

4. In Philadelphia? Does she have any freaking idea what she's getting herself into?

This is pretty amazing to be quite honest. Philly fans are some of the best, don't get me wrong, but they are amazingly vocal and really don't give a damn who they offend.

This should be *really* interesting. I can't wait to see this backfire as I'm sure it will.

7. As a Red Wing's fan,I can tell you that they've hurt my

feelings plenty of times,and not one has ever apologized.:evilgrin:

5. Dear Sarah:

I don't know if the same fans are at Flyers games as at the Eagles games. I'm guessing they are pretty much the same, one way or another.

Good luck,

6. What about the Red Wings giving a jersey?

They gave the Biden's and the Obama's a jersey with their names on it when they were in Detroit.
