I saw this on TT and whoever thought this was a good idea needs to be fired. It was such an easy win and they messed it up.

@prairie_girl , do you enjoy any other sports besides NHL Jets hockey?

I don’t like basketball, we already know my thoughts on soccer, don’t really like baseball. We have a CFL football team that I watch, and only follow NFL because I’m in a pool this year.

Thanks for the reply. I'm just curious since I believe Winnipeg has a diverse sports landscape.

We definitely do.

We definitely do.

I do hope you will give team Canada support during the home World Cup though. It's going to be a historic moment for both our countries. Even other sports franchises and leagues will get involved in some way (including your Jets). But back to the thread topic, I'm sure other NBA teams will learn from Charlotte's mistake.

Pretty ridiculous. Like, if they only wanted to give away jerseys, then why not just give the kids jerseys? They'd still think that's pretty cool! Instead they made some big show about giving away a PlayStation and didn't really intend to give it out - such an odd way of thinking.

Why would they do that? I'm not understanding it at all.
