The first real post about the ownership on Twitter was Apr 3. Nothing was said for two days, and likely a good time before that, too. It's unlikely that this situation just went poof out of thin air. From there, CTV picked it up. That was followed by other Windsor media, then national media, and it went from there. The media attention, combined with the people commenting/emailing, definitely gave the league something to think about. If you take away the media attention, you've got a few tweets that are looked at, but maybe not given that much attention. I'd also say that emails weren't fully Spitfires' fans; I know multiple fans from other teams who didn't want to see Flint 2.0. In fact, I was pretty surprised at who was emailing. Could this turn out to be fantastic with Parekh? Yes. I doubt anyone feels foolish or stupid for venting concerns. They're legit issues. Given the optics we've seen so far, it's difficult to believe that everything turning out positive is realistic. Fans want to see this team, and this league, be competitive. That means bringing in proper ownership and having the current ownership in place until that happens.
