See, the whole Tier I and II thing doesn't bother me one bit. It may not be good PR (especially when coming out of a bumbling fool like Lowe, and inevitably King), but certain fans make teams more money than others, so in business terms it makes sense to prioritize.
Those types of business decisions are at least understandable, because they deal with their direct customers. Fans choose to buy in or not.
It's when they start asking the general public to subsidize their operations is when I start losing sympathy. Taxpayers and non hockey fans have no option to opt out.
