What business franchise would you actually enjoy running?


I think Baskin Robbins would be good. Its not dirty work. A KFC is a lot of oil and other things. McDonalds is just so busy that those stores are grubby. But an ice cream parlor? Easy peasy.

I want to run the entire NHL. That league needs some serious work.

like what?

I wish they would toughen up the personal conduct policy in all sports, I'm sure if I lied about a nightclub shooting or ran a dog fighting ring I wouldn't get my job back afterward

There was a Russian player who snorted coke in a hotel room. The Russian league banned him for 2 years. The NHL gave him a 3 game suspension.

Addiction is
a tricky thing, I'm no expert but I believe they get a second chance for substance abuse in many fields of work in the US so long as nobody else got hurt and the user gets
rehab... not sure about other countries

I'm talking about heavy duty shit like lying to Police during a criminal investigation, assault, carrying a pistol around , spousal abuse, DWI

Examples need to be made and without mercy.

'You can become
a millionaire
or a punchline
and we'll help you get there either way, it's all up to you sporto'

Apologies for any confusion, I just never think of Hockey

You gotta start watching hockey.

I seem to have quit on most sports in favor of movies and TV shows the last few years:/

I don't know why

1. No points for OT or shootout losses.

2. Revert back to old 1 vs. 8 playoff format. Get rid of the wildcard stupidity.

3. Move Arizona to Quebec City.

4. Regularly check for players for performance enhancing drugs.

5. Deliberate headshots are a 10 game suspension on first offence. 20 games after that.

6. No more dumping in and skating away. New rule: if you dump in, you have to chase the puck, or else it's a 2 minute penalty for playing shit, lazy hockey.

7. Change the offside rule. It shouldn't be offside if your skate is in the air even if you're behind the line. As long as you're behind the line, that's fine.

8. Change the draft rules. One bad year shouldn't give you a bottom 3 pick. It makes it easier to tank. Instead implement a point system where they calculate the points you've accumulated the last 5 seasons.

9. Move Ottawa. I hate them. Everyone hates them.

quebec should have a team and toronto a second team. i would actually contract the league. the product is watered down somewhat.

i don't think steroids are a big problem in the nhl

i would get rid of the shootout and have 10 minutes OT. if it's a tie. so what.

stop calling back goals when a guy has a toe in the crease. i agree on the offside. i would not even allow it to be reviewed.

ottawa - don't really care. the team is a dud.

dumping in would be tough to enforce. the players would just shoot on goal.

i agree on the ranking - top 8 in each conference make the playoffs.

there will always be some headshots in hockey. punish the repeat offenders.

reply

I agree that the dumping in rule would be tough to enforce, but damn it, I hate it so much. If they shoot at the goalie, then so be it. The goalie might make a save and pass it on a break.

North Korea

Star Wars

Marvel Films. I could devote my life to dickering about the details of scripts, and sexually harassing Chris Hemsworth!



reply

My answer is similar. I'd run DC films. They make such shitty movies and there are some fantastic DC stories that would make great movies. I would run that ship with an iron hand and fire people like a tyrant. Good scripts and directors would abound. There would finally be a Batman movie without some stupid shit ruining it. Guaranteed not to win awards and guaranteed to please the fans (though maybe not please the Nolanites).

a nfl franchise.

reply

The Tolkien/Middle Earth franchise. I would bring The Silmarillion to the screen.

reply

The 007 franchise. It desperately needs attention and respect.

reply

A strip club.

reply

I'd say that would be quite stressful.
