Chris Botta has founded the most unique and trendsetting sports blog in the history of the internet. With the ability to bring in over 400,000 unique visitors (NYI and Hockey Fans!) per month for a team that finished dead last and has bottom line attendance. Generating worldwide buzz and bringing the Islanders back to the forefront.
This petition is to hopefully sway the Islanders position that they will not FULLY sponsor the blog. We hope you reconsider as this is an increidbly diverse way to keep the die hard fans up to date, and bring in new fans with a unique strategy that catches and keeps the readers.
On behalf of The Islanders Nation, we urge you to reconsider.
I just looked at the screen and saw 500 names and I honestly had to blink a few times because that is just so many people who get why Botta matters for the Islanders. It is wild to think about how this started just as a thought on a random afternoon and now look at where we are actually sitting.
