Well not that picture, if hockey was played with monkeys it would actually be kind of awesome.
Last week we got into an argument about fighting in hockey, and my last line was all hockey fans are racist. I will admit when I'm wrong, hockey fans aren't racist the NHL just is.
While the NBA, NFL, MLB are all donating millions of dollars to the devastation of Haiti, the NHL has ponied up a measly 100,000. That sounds a little ridiculous and just plain awful.
It's understandable with the terrible ticket sales, along with TV revenue that Hockey would give less, however one tenth of what the other sports gave is really cheap. Is the NHL that much less well off than other sports leagues? No. According to Forbes, the NHL made $141 million in profits in 2008 as compared to $318 million for the NBA, $501 million for MLB, and $790 million for the NFL.
So stay classy NHL, and keep being racist, that will surely get more fans!
