Can you sue the Rangers and still be a fan of the team?

Who the hell is that?

Who the hell is that?

It’s a good thing you don’t know who he is. He’s a loser that wishes the current NHL was more like the WWE. A tool who turned on Lundqvist because he wouldn’t do signings with him.

He’s like a 50 year old man-child who still eats HungryMan microwaveables and thinks 80’s mullets and Trans Ams still rock.

Who the hell is that?

An old "insider" who ended up being a nothing, much like most of the other "insiders" tbh

 

[romba]

Is it too late for a class action? I became a fan in 95 one year too late, I want mine

Wait, he’s a Devils fan now?

"The Rangers pay close attention to Anthony..."

Oh give me a break

"The Rangers pay close attention to Anthony..."

Yeah, that's some nonsense. They are aware of certain accounts that have a large following and track what those people do, but "pay close attention"?

Had a couple of their videos come across my Youtube suggestions. Nice video editing, but the "content" part of the content never seemed planned or rehearsed at all. Lots of awkward silences and streams of words that didn't really say anything. I don't know the law on this issue, but just from a logistics point of view, even if he's right on the law, the odds of winning against the kind of lawyers the Rangers have on retainer seems pretty low.

Are there any actually good NHL YouTube channels? I know JaguarGator09/08 is solid in college football ad NFL.

I like The Hockey Guy. He presents news well and is largely unbiased, as one could ever be. I enjoy the simplicity and "to the point" nature of his videos.

 

[Kane One]

He’s using an altered Rangers logo without permission and is suing the Rangers? Lol

 

[bobbop]

The is a clever back door way to build interest in a substandard podcast. Lawsuit? As my lawyer friend likes to say, “ there’s no there there”

 

[Machinehead]

Tbh I think we're all entitled to a little class action after all these years.

 

[Crease]

If the Rangers used his content without permission or compensation for their own marketing campaign, seems like a straightforward violation of law. But I can’t imagine he has much damages.

Sounds like Billy Madison Part 2

 

[we want cup]

If they just clipped a couple of audio snippets I could imagine that falling under fair use. In any case, I’m sure that’s what the Rangers’ lawyers will say If they really did use the audio.

Just a little? Lol, I beg to differ.
