This wasn't football, it wasn't basketball, it was Disney being pissed off. And you do NOT want to piss off Mickey Mouse. He will rip your guts out, grill them, and eat them while making you watch.
Except that the NHL is thriving away from Mickey Mouse in spite of having the dumbest commissioner in the history of sports. If the NHL had someone with a clue in charge, they would be fighting to be the number two sport in this country.

Along these lines, I wish that FS1 had the NHL and EPL contracts. I think those two contracts could help FS1 really differentiate itself from The Mouse.
