Do I even want to continue to be a Bruins fan?

It has nothing to do with Jacobs being a tight wad douchebag cocksucker all these years. I've remained faithful even when he traded Adam Oates for speaking out about his tight fisted ways, and when Bourque requested a trade to a contending team so he could have a chance at a cup because Jacobs was so cheap. It is because of what Jacobs has/is/might be doing to the league. That cheap dickhead is in the forefront of this lockout, the last lockout which cost us fans an entire season, and the previous lockouts under the Bettman rule. I'm done supporting an owner who doesn't care about the fans of his team or the league itself. That selfish prick cares only about the almighty dollar which he's made many many millions of from the suckers like me. Also, whether or not I change which team I cheer from is my decision and I could give a rats ass who questions my loyalty to the Bruins. Take a good look at what Jacobs has done and try to tell me I haven't been loyal.

So hit him where it hurts. Don't buy jerseys. Don't go to games. Don't put any more money in his pocket.

When the league resumes, I will probably buy tickets (done with season tickets for a long time though). But Jacobs owns the concessions at Nationwide. Fuck if I'm buying so much as dippin' dots.

One more comment and I am done. Like who you want but I don't feel bad for you there at all. Maybe Jacobs is a dick, and maybe things could have been done differently or better at times. I have been a fan since after the 90s lockout and though they had ups and downs along the way the Bruins have been a pretty successful franchise in that time. In the last 16 years I bet a lot of fans wish their teams would have tested their loyalties the way the Bruins have tested their fans.

I have a hard time believing that this is just Jacobs. If 29+ (because of ownership teams) other grown ass men who have held power most of their lives cowtow to ONE owner, than they are pussies and we deserve a lockout. This smells to me like there are other owners with a lot of power out there that are just fine letting Jacobs play the villain, all the while enjoying being a faceless, nameless bald guy.

NOT...COOL!!!

I am sick of this shit!

I agree, eloco was born without a face and you would think people on this board would be more sympathetic.

I really don't give a flying fuck what you think, ok? I'm not here looking for anyone's approval or sympathy. I have every right to decide to not root for the Bruins as long as that pompous, conceited dick owns the team and cheer for another team and what you think means as much to me as the dump I took an hour ago, ok? Some of you act as if I'm switching just to jump on a winning teams bandwagon. That's the furthest thing from the truth. If you want to sit there all fat and happy that your owner is a piece of shit (if he in fact is) good for you. I'll write the scabs and see if they'll give you a medal and throw a parade in your honor, mmmmmk?

Geez lighten up. You start a thread posing a question and if someone questions you back at all you bitch and have a fit.

"If a bad owner makes you question your team allegiance than I am not sure how good of a fan you are to begin with."
"Like who you want but I don't feel bad for you there at all. "

Oh I'm sorry, thanks for your enlightening input. I guess I should have expected that from someone who's favorite team cornered the market on all the Canadian talent for years helping them monopolize the league and win so many Championships.

My first post was quickly followed by:

BTW I know you are a good fan and did not mean to suggest otherwise, my intention was more to tell you to enjoy the team* and not worry about what the owner said

And no I don't feel bad for you as a fan of a team with the recent history of the Bruins. I didn't think that was an offensive thing to post but I guess I was wrong.

Yeah the Canadiens had territorial rights long before I was a fan or even alive. Is that supposed to bother me or something? They have not won anything since I have been a fan and I have never boasted about the number of cups they have.

I bother you without trying. I wont respond to any of your posts any more.

Hahaha. Nice.

 

[beantownmaniac]

Screw it, just delete the thread. I'll grab my rake and lawn mower and go take care of Jacobs lawn. He's such a sweet, caring guy.

I agree it's your decision. If it sounded like I was suggesting otherwise or being critical then I apologize for not wording most post better. I couldn't give a rats ass about anyone's loyalty to be honest. Everyone has a right to cheer for whoever they want. I don't care if someone changes teams every season. I'm just offering my opinion. You seem like a pretty passionnate Bruins fan and I believe you live in the area. I think it's a shame that Jacobs is ruining that for you although I can see where you are coming from to some extent. I can see your dilemma. You are a hockey fan first and a Bruins fan second it would seem.

Well played

I love that song. One of the best rock tunes of the 80's fo sho

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Chipman denied the report that Jacobs said what he supposedly said to a Jets representative last week

Dave Tomlinson (DCMP) of team1040 radio confirms it actually happened and the Jets behind the scene were and still are PISSED! It was the last straw for many owners and Jacobs was told by a collective of other owners to stand down

and now suddenly talks have taken a positive turn

interesting!
