I don't claim to speak for anyone else, but I'd like to turn to the Kings to get away from troubles and drama for a while. Watching a game should be entertaining. I don't tune in to watch a team lose. I don't pay money to sit in an arena and watch a team tank. I want to be entertained. I want to get caught up in the moment and have a great time.
If they're not gonna be entertaining, I could just as easily go to a movie. I don't see why I should suffer through yet another season of disappointment. It's supposed to be entertainment. I don't pay good money to see bad movies just because the director says it will let him earn enough money to make better films. I'm not going to step foot into G1C to see an inferior product, especially at current ticket rates.
