DOWN GOES BROWN: A look at other notable NHL brother acts.
I can’t believe you linked to the article from Ross Bonander. First, he doesn’t seem to understand the difference between a lockout and a strike. Second, his argument of why he is rooting against the players applies as much to the owners (if not more given that a labor stoppage would be due to a lockout). It’s a poorly thought-out article that doesn’t deserve the publicity.
I may not agree with Mr. Bonander’s opinion, but I feel his side should be heard, too.
I disagree and wouldn’t have linked to it given the factual and logical errors if it were my site. I agree that all sides should be heard but draw the line when there are obvious errors. I would be worried that uninformed people might make the same strike vs. lockout error, which happened in the recent NFL and NBA lockouts.
Overall, I love the site…I just disagree with this decision.
