There's stubborn, there's fucking idiotic, and then there's Gary Bettman

BoWC Business Lesson.

Let's pretend there is a lemonade business. This lemonade business wants to expand and make a name for itself, so it sets up shop with a high population density city. Somehow, it's the only lemonade shop in town. However, this city, let's call them DaleGlen doesn't like Lemonade. Even though the lemonade made it into the World Championship deliciousness competition, only 0.05% of the population went to the store.

Now the this business is bleeding tons of money in DaleGlen, but there is a perspective opening in Pegwinn where the smaller population absolutely loves lemonade. 98% of the population would get a hernia at the news that the lemonade business was coming there. Sure, the business may not turn a huge profit since it's so small, but it won't be losing money.


Bettman the Brilliant is still trying to keep the Coyotoes in Phoenix. There's all this legal crap behind it, but he's too stupid/dumb/prideful/egotistical to not just fold up his arms and move it to Winnipeg.

The Coyotes are losing 40 million a season. 40 MILLION DOLLARS A SEASON. Even if the Jets break even because of the smaller market, you at least aren't incurring a loss. BUSINESS 101. Bettman can stop the bleeding but he wants to see hockey thrive in the states, but he's a fucking idiot.
