It's just a thing that people do, no matter where you go. I'm sure if you went to Sao Paulo in Brazil they'd tell you that Rio De Janeiro is no good, and vice versa. Don't ask me why that example popped in my head when there are likely a billion better examples, but the point still stands. People love to poop on nearby places they could be living in, but chose to live where they do decidedly so. It's pretty much internal justification at work.
As a Calgarian in Sao Paulo I can attest to this. The difference between Canadian and Brazilian weather aside, SP is Toronto and Rio Montreal. SP is the big smoke, jobs, concrete jungle that gets crapped on by the rest of the country. Rio is the more laid-back artsy place. SP is like the Leafs and Rio the Habs. Which made it all the more interesting when in 2010 the starting goalie for Rioīs Flamengo (Brazilīs most popular soccer team) was arrested for murder. Could you imagine Carey Price or a Felix Potvin in their playing days being arrested for murder? https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...-prison-guilty

I lived in Calgary for a few years and I liked it less with each year (probably due to the amount of my life I wasted in traffic). I would pick Edmonton over Calgary as a place to live, although I'm sure it would wear on me too. Also, I live in Brooks where the stink of cows isn't as bad as the stink of the Oilers I guess I just like small towns.
You're wrong.

there's a lot of uninformed and, frankly, stupid posts in this thread...but this one has to be in the fight for number one.
just, wow.
Frankly, it was meant to be stupid, I quoted lyrics from the song "Born in the USA" where people are tortured by the landscape they are trapped in. It was self evident to most people minus the odd brainless clown.

Not everyone got the gist of your original post. For example, I...
Went down to see my VA man, he said:

Will be interesting to see how other teams play McDavid this year. Everyone will be anticipating his speed game and will try to wear him down. His durability will depend on his ability to remain elusive.
If other teams decide to get physical and the league lets them, he could be in for an interesting time.

It was clear from the Anahiem series that physical play will have him playing from the perimeters.
I will say though,that tattoo artist did an amazing job, it's very detailed. But yes, an incredibly stupid thing to get tattooed on your body. Kinda creepy too
Oiler fan who commissions McDavid painting: This is the most ridiculous thing in Oiler fan history.
Oiler fan with a customised McDavid Ferarri: I've got this.
Oiler fan with McDavid tattoo: Hold my beer...

Re. Ugly tattoo.
Are we sure this isn't a hoax? That's pretty damn detailed for a tattoo. Looks more like a spray on. To have colors that vibrant it would have to be a very new tattoo, and I would expect to see some healing still in process.
Maybe someone who knows more about ink than me can comment.

Well, I guess a lot of the fans just fall in line with the organization. After all, they did commission this:
Ok, that's over the top creepy and that guy might as well forget about ever having sex again.
Get a tattoo of the face of a departed relative, fantastic.
Get a tattoo that incorporates the logo of your favorite team, sure.
Get a tattoo of Jar Jar Binks, you're now a monk.
Get a tattoo of a hockey player, you're one step from making a Connor McDavid skin suit and dancing around your apartment in it to the song "I'll be a woman soon".
That there is serial killer territory.
