I think you should ask yourself why you've supported the Flames in the first place. If it's not because of the owners, I think it'd be odd to stop being a fan because of something like this.
As a child I supported the Flames because I wanted heroes, because I loved hockey, because I was proud of where I was from.

But I'm an adult now. I see the world for what it really is. I'm not so proud of where I'm from anymore, and I don't need a hero. I love hockey, but I love the beautiful planet more than I love the game. If the people who prop up entertainment on one side of the rockies to it by destroying the other side of it, then I have a problem with that.

It's easy to say, "Murrary Edwards wasn't the reason you started watching the Flames". Of course he wasn't. It was Theo Fleury and Lanny MacDonald and Gary Roberts.

But that doesn't mean Murray Edwards can't be the reason I find myself unable to support the team anymore.

That's where I'm at.
