MattPie Posted September 19, 2023 Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 Initially this seemed kinda low-rent, and something that'd happen in Buffalo vs. the more glamorous cities. I found this from last year and it's a mixed bag. Some much bigger names in there, as well as others that are in the same neighborhood. Several medical-related sponsors, wonder if that's targeted to hockey fans being older or more likely to get hurt, lol. https://www.sportspromedia.com/broadcast-ott/media-rights/nhl-2022-23-season-guide-teams-sponsors-tv-rights-social-media/?zephr_sso_ott=mEqPlL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted September 19, 2023 Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 A neat bit of PR. Good for the Sabres to associate the helmet sponsor with the word/field "nursing." Because who doesn't love and respect nurses? Total frontline warriors. OTOH, the sponsor here is a staffing agency that provides nurses to entities in need of them. Staffing agencies like this have many nonprofits over a barrel when it comes to getting the nurses that are needed -- a lucrative industry, I infer, since the rates these agencies charge can be budget-busters.

I think if your URL is twitter.com it auto embeds. But x.com doesn’t seem to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#freejame Posted September 19, 2023 Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 Well it looks better than some of the other ones so there’s that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I go to that post on X (Twitter) and use X's internal tools to "copy the link" I wind up with a URL that uses x.com to share the link. No embedding results. However, if, from that same post's page, I look at the URL in my browser, I see a twitter.com address. If I copy/cut that address and paste it here, the post embeds.

That Aud Smell Posted September 19, 2023 Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 I read earlier today that Musk plans to charge a subscription fee for X going forward. He says one of the main purposes of the subscription fee would be to cut down on bots. Maybe so. I suspect that embedding would be impossible if Twitter (X) ends up behind a paywall. If the subscription fee is modest (~$30 annually), I will probably subscribe. I really like that platform and don't know of any viable replacement.

steveoath Posted September 19, 2023 Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 I only have twitter for work - and even that is sporadic posting of school activities. If it goes behind a paywall I’m out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesky is almost identical to Twitter, same creator, they need to expand access to it though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres73 Posted September 19, 2023 Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 Does this mean the yellow buffalo won't be on the helmet any more? That sucks, that was a great look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
