Liberals and hockey jerseys?
As anyone who reads this blog with any regularity knows, I hate bogus hockey sweaters. Bogus, meaning: wrong font, wrong patches, wrong brand for the season, etc… Today, I was scanning eBay for various items, and ran across eBay item # 160734309450 (see pic below) which is “supposed to be” an Eric Cole, Carolina Hurricanes, 2006 Stanley Cup jersey. I sent the seller a polite message letting him / her know that there was a laundry list of things wrong with their item description, and that it was factually incorrect. For example, anyone with any knowledge of Canes jerseys can take one look at the jersey and tell that the font is incorrect. The name on the back is the correct font, but the numbers are WAY wrong. In addition, the Canes, and the entire NHL for that matter, have worn Reebok jerseys since the 2005-06 season. This person has a 2006 Cup patch on a CCM jersey… The seller then called me an idiot for "not knowing" that 2007-08 was the first NHL season for Reebok jerseys... WRONG!!! / LOL!!! If you will recall, the last season that the NHL wore CCM / KOHO brand sweaters was the 2003-04 season. The lockout season was 2004-05. When play resumed for the 2005-06 season, Reebok had purchased CCM / KOHO and began producing the Asian-sweatshop quality garbage that all NHL players are forced to wear to this day.
In short, I tried nicely to present the aforementioned facts to the seller in question… However, I was met with more insults and more factually incorrect arguments. Even after I pointed the seller to various hockey, and hockey jersey data-bases, which would set him straight, he continued to spew factually incorrect BS in an attempt to validate his bogus sweater. Upon realizing that there was no convincing this seller of the truth, it hit me like a ton of bricks! I had a flash-back to a recent television interview with the obviously delusional and clearly mentally unstable Debbie Wasserman Schultz. At that moment, I realized that the illogic of the eBay seller could only mean one thing… He is a liberal! It will be fun though to see how many educated readers of this blog (most of you) will now go to that eBay jersey auction and call this person out for his bogus jersey. That would surely drive him nuts! HINT, HINT… UPDATE: I just went back to the bogus jersey auction, and he has taken it down! LOL!!!
