Sorry Mull, nothing against you personally or this statement in and of itself. Merely quoting because to me what a lot of it really comes down to is what side of the fence each of us started on and how entrenched we are on that side.
For a CMLC/City sided individual, this quote is bang on. For someone siding with the Flames, you just need to change it a bit. "Siding with CMLC over Edwards without more details simply shows how blinded and irrational people can act towards a billionaire hockey owner."
For me personally, I'm kind of in the middle. I want the Flames to have a new arena. I'm not paying taxes in Calgary so I don't need to worry about how my tax dollars are spent. That said, as a person who grew up there and still consider it my "hometown", I also don't want the City to get bent over as badly as Edmonton did. So for me to "pick a camp", I really need more details, from all parties involved.
But like religion, politics and Covid, if a person is firmly set in their ways, not much is going to change that person's opinion.
