Flyers fans using GoFundMe to buy rival Pittsburgh Penguins

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/flyers-fans-use-gofundme-to-buy-rival-penguins-135414825.html

The owners of the Pittsburgh Penguins are seeking to sell the team, and the asking price is reported to be around $750 million.

This is obviously a rather large ante, leading to some skepticism that the price will be met. But clearly, these financial analysts don’t recognize how easily finding that money can be if your desire is fueled by unfettered hatred of the product you’re seeking to purchase and, in turn, probably destroy.

To that end: a group of Philadelphia Flyers fans have started a GoFundMe to purchase the Penguins.

That’s just straight up diabolical.
