It isn't logic, it's sarcasm. Try barking up a different tree.

(Also, Ragequit? Is this a new word?)

It's a very old word in gaming. Wikipedia defines it helpfully:
Quote:

A rage quit is when a player in sports or video gaming is too angry to continue playing a game and usually leaves before the end of the game or match. The player may then throw or smash their controller/keyboard in response to their "rage" to the point where it is broken and unusable.

The consensus of this board, so far as there is one, is that the fans are too angry to continue watching the games, they are going to leave, and it's management's job to throw out or smash all the team's assets to the point where the whole franchise is broken and unusable. People are actually saying the Flames would be better off for making bad trades because it will make them worse and force a rebuild. This is an insane reaction, but it's a mass insanity and feeds off the emotions of the mob.

That's nice, up to the point where you start calling on a new GM to do the stupid things CP wants – to break the team even worse in the name of fixing it. Most of the proposals I see on here are truly asinine.

Is showing a guy who has not succeeded his walking papers now ‘rage quitting’? Lol

No, trading away all the good players for other people's junk is. And that is exactly what large numbers of people on CP are openly advocating. They repeat over and over that the team is so bad it can't possibly get any worse. I would love to see them get their way – but there won't be any Calgary Flames in another decade if they do, because the franchise will not survive without fans and the fans won't buy tickets to a team that gets maybe 50 points in a good year.
The people throwing tantrums because the Flames are not going into a rebuild have no idea how bad things can get. It would be most amusing to watch them find out.
