How can you grow a game in a city when you give them a team full of rejects and scraps and expect them to be proud of the garbage you gave them?
Life long residents of Vegas have gone a long time without having the pride of their own professional sports team at the top league in their sport. They paid their dues by not even having a team in the top league of any sport.
Can't be the players who need to suffer. They've dedicated their careers to becoming a part of a successful team. If Vegas were to win the Cup you can't tell me a single player on that team was undeserving. They have all put in their time.
The notion that expansion teams don't deserve a chance is a bad take.
