Are there still people out there who oppose a boycott?

[Stylizer1]

Seriously?

With the way this team has been decimated what is the reason you would still support them with Melnyk in charge? Lebreton, players, coaches, STH, anyone who enjoy's hockey have to be on the same page by now, no? I have managed to barely watch 5 minutes of any game this season because of the incompetence shown by the organization. The teams media relations are a joke, the explanations for roster moves are dishonest, and an owner holding the city hostage in moving forward on a new rink is disgraceful.

The city should boycott all of next season to prove a point. Businesses and fans should just not go. Support the 67's and the Red Blacks for an entire season and wear your Sens Jersey to show were you are spending your sens dollars. On a game night if you decide to go to the movies wear your Jersey to show others where you are spending your hockey money. Heck even go to Fury FC games. Support everything else in the city to show Melnyk no one respects him.

Sucks for the players but I am sure they will understand and would boycott too if they could.

Should also start boycotting the sponsors but let them know why you're boycotting them.

They shouldn't lose business though. They already paid Melnyk.

I'm not going to stop going to Canadian Tire when I can. I hate Walmart just as much as I hate Melnyk.

Holy threads today, seems like a new one pops up every hour on the hour.

Fans screaming boycott sounds like a kid at a toy store throwing a tantrum for not getting what they wants

Gotta deal with the ups and down. It's part of life!

If you choose to boycott, then quietly leave, why lurk these forums?

I'm 51/49 in favour.

I really hate the idea of the players playing in an empty arena. Young team, I really want to support them but I simply can't.

I'm on the boycott train but very unhappy about it.

Having the GM give the coach a vote of confidence and the coach being fired less than 24 hours later was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Yes, of course, I'm still boycotting! It's my opinion the emptier the building the sooner Melnyk either goes bankrupt or is forced to sell. Melnyk has liquidated all his businesses - the Senators are all he has left. He's not a billionaire anymore, far from it, and he can't afford to own an NHL team with sold out crowds, let alone 10k per game. The fans and the corporate sponsors will lead the way by boycotting games as long as Melnyk remains owner. The emptier the building the quicker Melnyk is gone!

I'm trying to just turn my back on the franchise interest wise knowing there's no hope with Melnyk here, but it's difficult with all the juicy drama almost daily and having been a fan for 23 years.

Financially though, it's easy to make sure not to support them. Never another penny from me unless he sells will be my very small contribution to the boycott.

Wanting change is only half. The other half is knowing what scumbag is getting your money.

... Because that's not how boycotts work.

But saying "if you don't like it, leave" is not childish at all.

Not like you are relevant to a boycott around here anyway.

So when are you boycotting?

I'm 6 hours away, and just spent about 200 dollars on Sens gear. You make less of an impact either way remotely, but it's not like you're "not relevant".

 

[Big Papi]

yes. well, I support making your own choice. I've had a few teams leave on me (Expos, Lynx, Rough Riders) and that feeling is worst than any heart ache thus far with the Sens. the situation sucks, but I want me kids to have a team to go for.

The better question is when are you planning on buying a ticket package and supporting this team with your wallet

Really? The Sens are the worst of any of those teams you mention by far.

I am all for a rally or protest of some sort. I would do that. That would be a great message. It shows people’s passion and care for the team because it matters a lot and is important. I wouldn’t boycott. It sends the wrong message and I doubt the intentions of many who “boycott”.

I think you are either in or out. Just pick.

A protest is the thing rich people point at and laugh. A boycott has them thinking about their money and worrying.
