Ok, I get it. People don't like Detroit. If you drive south from Detroit, you get to Canada. There's a lot of crime. Coleman Young was mayor. Kwame Kilpatrick is mayor. Unemployment is rampant. The auto industry is dying. It's lost population constantly for decades. It's got the Detroit Lions.
But in terms of *real* professional sports teams, there's some pretty good tradition there. Detroit is the home of Cobb, Greenberg, Kaline, Trammel, Whitaker, etc. It's where the Bad Boys reigned, and where team basketball is still on the map. It's Hockeytown. And during the Stanley Cup finals, Hockeytown is Octopi on the ice.
So the fact that the league would decide to throw a $10,000 fine on the team because Al Sobotka swings it over his head as he's taking it off the ice just screams wrong.
Now I'm upset.
