Default Jets may be on the move back to Atlanta

Quote:
The worst nightmare of Winnipeg Jets fans appears to be happing once again; and this time, it's even less deserved than it was 20 years ago. Thanks to a previously unheard of clause in True North Sports and Entertainment's purchase of the team in 2011, Atlanta Hawks LLC (formerly Spirit Group) will reclaim ownership and move the team back in time for the 2017/18 season

That's a pretty cruel joke to play on WPG fans.

But also what makes it all the more funny.

This post has the benefit of the doubt of being the first April's fools joke in read on the Internet. You had me for a couple seconds. I will now go on for the rest of the day being overly skeptical and won't believe a thing I hear, as is tradition.

Wouldn't surprise me actually. Haven't the Jets' attendance numbers already dropped?

This one is slightly less believable than Danielle Smith's announcement she's getting back into politics.

The only april fools joke I wanted to see was something about the oilers being excluded from this year's draft.

I wanted to see that too but not as an April 1 joke!
