David Thomson from the Jets is Canada's richest person with a net worth of $34 billion.
Someone on Twitter pointed out if he paid all TNSE employees *$50,000* for the balance of the NHL season, his net worth at the end of it would be...$34 billion dollars.
It's obscene, it's sickening, and my hope is that the craziness we are experiencing right now will result in some deeper changes in society about how we view each other, how we support each other, and how we care for those with the least among us.

This.
$1000/month is make or break for a lot of the people who work these organizations. And as much as I’d like to see ownership step up, I wouldn’t mind seeing the players league wide step up. How many Pros took home well over a million dollars this year, while the concession clerk or security staff make minimum wage.
Harder and harder to cheer for this league in general.
