Really, really amazing conversation today with Vincent Desharnais. Full story at later date. He does want to send a clear message to everyone before the season starts, as he begins a new chapter of life with the Caps:
It’s okay to not be okay, and it’s okay to ask for help.
@hockeyjtm This mostly comes down to getting the NHLPA to agree. Some guys will never agree for themselves, particularly once they are used to certain gear, but are happy to agree for future generations. Sucks - but it's what comes with unionizing, which I ultimately support.
@nickwhitmer87@rodger Difference between scheduling around 1 game and scheduling around 4. I am also considering the prominence of Canadian markets here, who are much more likely to care about baseball than American football. Though I see your point.
@nickwhitmer87@rodger Idk... Maybe have the season opener yesterday? Before MLB playoffs. Obviously you can't avoid conflicts for all games, but this instance had a pretty clear solution imo.
@moneyjerkk Trying to figure out why they think people only interested in romance would watch streamed games.
They might GO to games, leading to possible player harassment, and maybe you get a few rare merch sales? Seems like a miss in every regard.
@bellanati0n@brainnothoughts That has been my experience as well. I have to imagine it's because women who are sports fans are less likely to be casual fans, since they have to be really dedicated to put up with the nonsense that often comes with being a female fan.
@applecheekced Yeah, I like that this move has been getting pushback, especially by those it's "for", but people emphasizing WHO it's about has been rubbing me the wrong way.
No one deserves to have their image taken advantage of by their employer, regardless of how you feel about them.
hey @NHL i have created for you some gorgeous 2012 wattpad-style covers you can use for your "short stories that wink at the romance genre" starring hunky dreamboats jack eichel and sebastian aho. absolutely no need to financially compensate me, i made this with love
When i say i dislike corporations in fan spaces, this is EXACTLY what i mean.
One: this is basically fanfiction and the number one rule of fanfiction is it STAYS in fandom spaces
Two: LITERALLY NO ONE HAS ASKED FOR THIS
Women in sports spaces dont want to be associated with this and im sure the players dont want this either.
if the nhl is going to pander to women in ways that NO ONE asked for, can they at least do something many people have asked for and put some of that effort into making merch cute? starting with bringing back a lot of the vintage 90s styles, please and thank you
