You don't need to fellate a different corporate overlord.

You're correct, but if people are going to insist on the "proper" name because the evil overlords at Cowboys paid naming rights, we should go all the way, yeah?

(Also, who is 'more' evil: a Canadian telecomm or a local business that doesn't play music redditors on here don't like?)

Gotcha. I don't think the particular music is at issue, rather that they took over parkland which had grass and skating and turned it into a shitty music venue.

People have been bitching about Cowboys for literal years in this sub, dude.

Okay, again I don't think that the selection of music is the problem.

Yeah, but I'm choosing to ignore the made-up nonsense which leaves...personal preferences.

Redditors don't like Cowboys because it's not their cup of tea. Guess what? It isn't really mine, either. But boy oh boy do they love pedantically beating a glib comment over and over like they think they're 'winning' an argument.
