you just contradicted yourself.
You can't claim that nobody gives a fukk about the story then try to prove that people give a fukk about the story.
I can't even tell if you're jumping around all confused because you know you were wrong and are trying to distract or if you're just too dumb to follow an argument.
Ain't one thing I said that was contradicted by those articles. Over a thousand stories are out there, most prominently in Chicago and other spots where they know who Patrick Kane is. Most of those stories that weren't in Chicago/Buffalo/Canada didn't get many clicks because people didn't care. ESPN and other national outlets across the English-speaking world wrote about it, but the stories didn't make money except where people knew hockey, so they don't force the story. That's how the world works.
You claimed that all the stories were saying, "Don't jump to conclusions", and I proved you were wrong with those links posted.
You claimed the mainstream media ignored it, and I proved you wrong with those links posted.
You claimed it was all Chicago/Buffalo local stuff and not mainstream media, and I proved you wrong with over a thousand articles.
And you don't even try to defend the failed claims you made, but make up a pretend contradiction in my argument.
If ESPN WANTED to make this a bigger story they easily could.
Espn has no problem forcing shyt in peoples faces, like Ronda Rousey.
You're naive if you think ESPN really cares about anything other than making money.
You don't know anything if you think ESPN is going to push stories that cost them money and is going to refuse to push stories that would make them money.
They push the stories that get lots of attention and make lots of money. They're not going to push it into people's faces if they're not going to make money on it.
It's only fanboys who think that ESPN has all these secret fandom agendas that make them want to promote someone else's team and not your favorite team, someone else's media hero and not your little media hero.
If you think that the rich guys who own ESPN really gas about who likes who to any degree other than what makes them richer, then you're just their tool, and they'll play off that controversy to get even more attention and make more money.
