[ConservativeStatement]

MONTREAL - The rich, F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote, are very different from you and me.

True that … and he never knew Ed Snider.

Snider owns the Philadelphia Flyers. As is the case with most plutocrats, the 79-year-old businessman is conservative in his politics.

[ConservativeStatement]

The only thing separating this from an 8th grade girl's journal is the absence of "like, OMG," "like literally" and the always ubiquitous "like, ya know what I mean?"

[Lancey Howard]

It is safe to assume that Snider and fellow NHL boardroom right-wingers – such as Los Angeles Kings owner Phillip Anschutz, who is worth $6 billion and funds organizations battling gay rights

I think that paragraph contains your answer - - Mike Boone must be a faggot.

[ConservativeStatement]

It's another example of why the newspaper business is struggling and on its way to being obsolete. People with far left opinions well out of touch with the mainstream. Tsk tsk.

“People with far left opinions well out of touch with the mainstream.”
He talks about “most plutocrats” being conservative? Has he ever heard of George Soros, Ted Turner, Bill Gates or John Kerry??? LMAO!

[ConservativeStatement]

I hear Nancy Pelosi is in soup lines.

As an ex-canook, I tell a lot of my American friends to stay away from Montreal...the fake francophony city of North America. They hate Americans there, more than Toronto or Vancouver.

[ConservativeStatement]

The old man at 79 can kick the writer's ass in a fight. Snider was a street kid, not someone born with a silver spoon. He is a terrific story.

[Drill Thrawl]

Umm, Snyder does not own the Flyers. The Flyers are owned by Comcast Spectacor and Snyder is the Chairman.
