Panthers President Too Important for Twitter Critic: After a New Jersey Devils fan told him on Twitter he was "making an ass of himself and the organization," Florida Panthers president Michael Yormark said this in response: "You have 70 followers. No one cares what you think." Now Devils fan Lauren Ashley Rufino has 1,900 followers and was given sweet suite tickets to Tuesday's playoff game between the teams.
Right on, tahoemoj! Nuff motherfuckin' said!

Yormark joins my growing list of important people who should not be allowed on the Internet without a guardian.

Was Yormark wrong? Does anyone really give a shit what 99.9% of people on Twitter say, especially some idiot who expects an apology after she started it?

I'm upset at the number of people on the internet who haven't apologized to me yet as well, particularly professional sports franchise owners and senior management. These fuckers need to get on the ball, metaphorically speaking.

Dear The_Black_Hand,
I'm writing to you today to apologize if you were offended by anything I said or did. I deeply regret my words if they indeed caused you harm. Due to litigation that may or may not be pending now, in the near future, or the far distant past, I cannot get into more details but you should know that, at this time, I am not actually admitting to or accepting responsibility to the things you may or may not be able to prove I've said or done that caused you harm, but I do wish you didn't feel whatever emotions were or were not causing you distress.
Insincerely yours, apoch

If she's important enough to bother responding to, then apparently Yormark cares what she thinks. Twitter fight, pig, mud, likes it, yaddada yaddada.

She had it coming ... and it was a mild response. I'm tired of the expected correctness; Mark Cuban would have gone nuclear.
Meanwhile, Mayor Cory Booker's waiting for his tickets. (when Hell freeze over!)

Dear thin skinned twidiot, I'm sorry that you can't take a little interwebz tweak even though you feel entitled to give the same. Love, another twidiot.

Lauren & her dad are going to tonight's game in Sunrise as guests of Michael Yormark, joining him in his suite (as per her twitter update).

He's on there with an account reading his "@" replies and responding to people, so I'd say his shit is given.
In any case, they're viral Internet friends now so it's all good. I'm hoping these two kids get married.

What if Lauren's dad is this guy?!?!

"I have to say Im a little upset I have yet to receive an apology."
Don't be too upset. A Twitter apology carries about as much weight as a Twitter insult.
Which ranks slightly lower than a SpoFi "'nuff said" in my book
