Agreed. What a slap in the face. Imagine all the kids growing up thinking sports gambling is normal and OK…
Fanatics AND Play Alberta? Enjoy your plummeting jersey sales CSEC.
NOOOOOOO
No team deserves ads on their jerseys.
My family was ravaged by gambling and addiction – I can’t even put into words how unsettling this type of sponsorship is.
Disgusting. This sports gambling BS needs to stop. The damage it causes to everyday people is immeasurable while the apps laugh their way to the bank. Still can’t get over Gretzky and McDavid destroying their legacies.
🤮🤮🤮
Boo
I figured this was coming when I saw that everyone else seemed to be adding the stupid sponsor patch, but I hoped the flames wouldn’t promote gambling. It’s so gross.
I’ve got plenty of Flames jersey’s. Good reason to never buy another one again. Way to go Flames.
Terrible.
But this means our MLAs can attend games for free, right?
Yeah, and they don’t care what you think and probably already factored that into their decision. Just know it will get worse.
Eeew. That’s awful.
No thank you. The gambling ads with McMuffin and Whiner are embarrassing. Sellouts.
Such a crime against a beautiful jersey
What a shame
I don’t care about advertisements on jersey I knew they were coming but I’m not going to buy a Flames jersey that when I wear it I’ll be advertising gambling to everyone who sees me wear it. So many other sponsors out there but seems like gambling is getting all the big spots.
I love how they are leaning so heavy into the “Gamesense” aspect as if the same government that financially benefits from gambling gives a fuck about helping those suffering from addiction
Are all owners money hungry pigs? Like we already get exposed to so many ads in our lives with everything.
These fuckers love money so much it’s sad. They earn so much every year and it just doesn’t stop. And they will be getting expansion fee money too now. Fuck all the NHL owners fucking pigs. Probably crawl in a pig sty naked if u told them there was money in there
That sucks.
Awful. I already wasn’t going to be buying a jersey while Fanatic has the contract, but I emailed my ticket rep about this. Really sad to see.
Unfortunately, the only solution is the least feasible one. Everybody has to stop watching the games and stop going to the games. Hit them in the pocketbook. Make them lose ad revenue.
Absolutely nobody should be buying a jersey if it has that patch on it. Disgusting from this team
I’m tired of the constant gambling advertising in literally everything now. It’s not even just this, the second *literally anything* becomes even somewhat competitive, gambling companies just show up and start lining pockets to prey on more people
did they do that? thats just disgusting.
Both alberta teams now have a gambling ad on their jersey.
How embarrassing…
Ick.
The NHL is starting to push me further and further away lately…
Bettman loves it though
Whats a real piss off on top of all this, is that the league is exploring MORE expansion teams. Like…
Sponsorship ads *and* 45 teams in the NHL? Isn’t one supposed to offset the other?
Money hungry dink-wads suck the fun out of everything.
Wow. Of all the sponsors.
This is just gross.
Well I didn’t have to go to flames games this year anyways, so.
So this should drop the price of seats right?
Literally the only reason to have this shit on a jearsey
Another victim to ads on jerseys…
I sure had hoped that teams would not stoop so low as to promote a gambling site
Did we really need another thread about the jersey add?
The other 3 weren’t enough
Like fuuuuuck…might as well go back to cigarette advertising on the hockey players asses.
What? You’re not allowed to advertise tobacco because of societal harm? Then why is gambling allowed……
This franchise has always had a high moral standard. How have they let this happen?
What a stain on their legacy within our community.
I wonder what Lanny would have to say about this move?
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck that
Get that shit off of the jerseys… who approved that?
And just like that, no more merch for me.
