It's been the first instance since I chose to drive back deep into my love of hockey that's made me question if it's worth it. I didn't even last a full season of me wondering if it's worth it. Some of the views expressed in this thread have down more harm to that than how depressing the Flames themselves have been

I feel ya - I had a mental toll breakdown that was publicly shown in this very thread on the weekend. Like I said prior, I've had beers dumped on me/slurs said when with prior boyfriends at the Dome and it wasn't like we were making out or even holding hands, but simple flirts. I fairness, it was like a decade ago the last time it happened, but I'm nervous about going into any athletic event to this day with anyone. Not trying to drop the victim card like the prince and princess of Canada, but it weighs on you when you feel like the sport you love doesn't love you back.
I've done well to not look at internet comments this week, so that helps - like what's going on with Pizza shop owners in this city? Gawd.
Anyway, hang in there - don't get me started on trying to find a guy who also appreciates sports!
