The Ottawa Citizen: The Nickelback fiasco, or why democracy doesn’t work
The team asked fans to submit potential goal songs and received 500 entries. From those, the Senators chose five finalists and decided to put it to a vote. Democracy in action!
Except, like well-financed lobbyists, party bag men and a partisan judiciary, forces beyond the team’s control are fighting to get the result they want: The consistent humiliation of Ottawa Senators fans.
I love you, Internet. On the bright side for Sens fans, if their goals-for is as bad as last season, they won’t be playing that song much anyhow.
