Detroit don't like Nickelback

[sportdawg]

Detroit wants to disinvite Nickelback from its Thanksgiving game

I didn't know if this should go in Sports or Entertainment. I find it hilarious!

I would guess sports, because Nickelback isn't entertainment.

Funny story, got a buddy from Canada, and those who dont know how ridiculously prideful and socialist Canada can be, radio stations have to play at least 20% of their music from Canadian born bands/artists (same goes for TV). So, Nickelback is from a small town in Canada, and he said every rock station played Nickelback every 5 songs to meet the quota. Brutal.

Nickelback is horrible.

Detroiters Launch Petition Against Nickelback Halftime Show, 43,000 Sign

“Detroit is home to so many great musicians and they chose Nickelback?!?!?!” the petition says. “Does anyone even like Nickelback? Is this some sort of ploy to get people to leave their seats during halftime to spend money on alcoholic beverages and concessions?

I bet concessions profits at halftime will triple what they paid the band. This is genius

^^^ My first thought as well. Someone paid attention in marketing class. Give that person a raise.
