He's claiming that any and all Winnipeg hate in this thread is just a bunch of level headed posters who have concerns about the NHL's viability in Winnipeg.
That is totally wrong.
Some posters fit that description but others in this thread just hate Winnipeg. No different the way some posters bash Vancouver because of the Canucks and Edmonton because of the Oilers.
To try and mislead people into thinking it is unbiased opinions that are based solely on fact of the situation is completely wrong.

there isn't a whole lot of anti-winnipeg sentiment. Just many posters who have a more realistic perspective of the obstacles a team operating in Winnipeg would face.

I'm calling BS on that. There is plenty of anti-winnipeg sentiment. I'm not saying it is overwhelming but it is there in this thread anyone who says it doesn't exist doesn't know what they are talking about.
I'd say this thread is split 50/50 among the "Winnipeg won't work" crowd. 50% have legit reasons, many of which I agree with, and the other 50% are people who just hate Winnipeg and think it is Edmonton 2.0 in terms of being a crime ridden dump and a terrible cold, lifeless city.
And even then I'd say the entire thread is probably 35/65 in terms of for and against repectively. Of that 65% it is half and half for legit and just plain hate.
