REALLY? Private business is out to make money? Thanks for cluing me in on that one.
But yes the adds under the ice are the fault of the sport just like a bank ceo does not need or deserve the salary they get after the create the speculation bubble and dump the cost on the rest of us
The adds are under the ice for the same stupid reason oil is over priced. When you have an oil exec testify in congress that the actual price of real suppy and demand should be 30 to 40 dollars lower per barrel the speculators sell.
The adds are under the ice not because the owners are starving, but because they are greedy. Just like oil in reality if based on solely supply and demand and not future speculation, would be reasonable.
If a NHL owner or oil exec could figure out to legally pant a microchip in your head to collect information on you, they would. Out side that it is not about providing a product anymore. Our market used to be based on that. Our current global market is based on get it now and whatever you can get away with.
