Why does he want to buy the team? Why would anyone want to buy a team that won't fill its arena until playoff time when the bandwagon fans and visiting fans show up? I just don't get it. Buying the team isn't going to change the fact that it's a financial black hole. Just give up, let the team go to Quebec and let it be.

I see the Negro Leagues as a symbol of triumph (though I don't dismiss your argument of them being a symbol of divisiveness as well) before the integration of the major leagues. To me, they were the black players saying "Screw you, we're going to play whether you want us to or not."
FWIW, I don't hate anything about the Canucks' jerseys either. I think they've got one of the best sets in the league. I just hate the guys who wear them.
Yes, because a Canucks fan can be trusted to be objective about the Blackhawks. Say something about how awful the Canucks jerseys are... I already took it back. Sorry.
The Islanders' Gorton's logo was not a bad logo. It only looked bad because the uniforms it was paired with were complete . Switch that logo to normal Islanders colors and it would look great as an alternate. Hell, it'd be an improvement over that atrocious black jersey.
The idea is that you raise your arms in victory after a win or goal and show off your glorious armpits of triumph. One of the dumbest uniform idiosyncrasies around. O...k.
