That right there shows why Winnipeg should never have a team again.

That wasn't a 'protest.' It was a "Save the Jets" rally at the Forks, designed to rally the community around saving our NHL team. I would hardly call it a "Protest." 35,000 people attended. Kids were donating their allowances to save the team. People were writing cheques to the grassroots campaign that was organized to help keep the team in Winnipeg. Unfortunately, the major players could not get their ducks in order until it was too late.
