Will the Great Game of Ice Hockey Survive Jewish Meddling?
By Mark Neufeldt
The National Hockey League (NHL) season has reached the quarter pole, and
already there are rumblings of an attendance crisis. Some teams are
re****ting attendance figures as low as 8,000 for games in state-of-the-art
arenas that seat capacity crowds of more than 20,000. Chicago, Long
Island,
Atlanta, Los Angeles, Colorado, and Phoenix have all seen precipitous
declines in attendance- some as low as 22% below last season?s figures.
Overall, the League has seen average attendance dip from 17,285 a year ago
to 16,743 this season. This was a decline that Hockey News re****ter, Ken
Campbell, ominously described as a ?slippery slope,? pointing out
that ?players receive 54 per cent of revenues up to $2.2 billion, but if
the decline in attendance continues, there?s a very good chance they could
be giving money back to the league this season.? (1)
Some observers charge that League attendance is actually much worse than
is
being re****ted. Detroit News hockey correspondent, Ted Kulfan, found
13,000
fans present at a game where the Detroit Red Wings had announced an
attendance of 20,066. Former Canadian Broadcasting Cor****ation (CBC)
re****ter, Jamie Fitzpatrick, asked ?if Hockeytown can pad its numbers by
about 30 percent, what kind of lies are they telling at other NHL arenas?
How many real people showed up for Wednesday?s games in Florida (which
re****ted 14,312 loyal customers), Atlanta (12,579) or Anaheim (12,394)??

League officials had high hopes that a new collective bargaining agreement
between the League and the players, coupled with rule changes designed to
speed-up the game, would bring the fans back after a year-long lockout in
2005. But, what the evidence seems to indicate, is that the League?s
attendance problems began much earlier, and can be traced to sweeping
changes instituted by a racially-conscious Jewish executive, his Jewish
staff, and Jewish network television executives, who demanded changes to
the game that reflected their own interests, which came at the expense of
hockey fans. (3)
