Now you know why fans don’t run the team

There’s the picture of the man who runs the Edmonton Oilers- and deservedly so. He built multiple Stanley Cup winners in Detroit and seems to have for the most part learned his lessons about managing the cap.

Oiler fans are passionate but have a habit of being very bipolar and having more passion than brains. There’s nothing more evident of that than when newspapers turn things over to the fans in an opinion column. Edmonton Oilers fans haven’t changed much over my lifetime, their suggestions are still just as stupid and asinine as ever. I don’t blame the papers for printing these opinions, I blame the fans for not using their heads before they spew ignorance into the media. Let’s go through some of the bird droppings being printed in this edition of the media.

A proper opinion should be based on both fact and reality – a lot of these “opinions” are based on neither and makes me think very few of the people commenting actually watch the games.
