Hey NHL,

You and I, we usually get along pretty well. I mean, despite that whole Gary Bettman schlorping Sid and Ovie thing and the Matt Cooke Fiasco. We’ve had some disagreements on you trying to sell me pink crap before, but I thought you had listened.

NHL, I’m thinking that with this one, we might need to um, go see other people for a while.

It’s great of you to let me know that “NHL Prints make the perfect addition to any ‘man-cave’ for the NHL fan,” because sheeesh, was I worried that the prints of my AHL photos might have made my apartment too girly. Oh… wait. NHL, did you know I’m a girl?

Oh man, I’m sorry. I know I was wearing a hat when we met, but I assumed you’d have figured it out. No? You thought because of my wall decorations I was a dude?

Seriously, NHL. I know I harp on this over and over and over again, but what’s your insistance on being so dude-centric? I’m willing to bet that if you were to find a female fan, she’d have more photos of her favorite player saved on her computer than a guy would, so logic would then say that perhaps you should be marketing IMAGES FOR SALE to the FEMALES as well.

And really, this is getting old and kind of tiring. Get a damn focus group. Get a damn woman in the marketing department with half a brain. Get a damn CLUE, NHL, and quit doing crap like this. All it does is make the women you want to buy stuff from you sigh in exasperation and throw their hands in the air.

Quit it. Just freakin’ quit it.
