As I said, it is about inferiority complex. Winnipegers will never forgive Phoenix because the former owner of a Jets team sold out because of a great many factors, including lack of fan support. On the wider picture, many Canadians have built up so many delusions about how and why the Jets and Nordiques went south that there is no reasoning with them. The reality is that it is not about nationalism. Those "fans" try to dress it up with the flag because they figure that that justifies their pitiful behaviour.
We all know Phoenix is very likely a lost cause. Just let the people with money waste other people's money until the game is over, and move on.
