They won’t have that money until halfway through the season. So It’s not like they automatically get the money once the season starts.

When they have all these new revenue dollars next season as you described and still fail to make the playoffs what will be your answers then?

and will being worst not be worth surviving any longer?

They might’ve been 2nd in attendance but that doesn’t mean they were 2nd in revenue. Each team has different tickets prices.
As for the revenue the Thunder get, most of it goes to the Coliseum’s rent. They don’t get any money from concessions or advertising around the Coliseum. Next year when they move to the new arena, they will make a lot more money with the addition of concessions, suites, and arena signage (advertising on the ice, scoreboard, etc).
So don’t blame the front office staff for “not caring” about the on-ice product. If the team doesn’t produce, then the franchise doesn’t succeed. But thanks to the very loyal Thunder fans, this team can survive. Even though the team hasn’t preformed up to expectations. It’s really not up to the front office staff to recruit players. It’s the coaches, and to some point the GM’s job to help recruit players that can come in and help the team win games.

More loyal than you apparently.
And if my girlfriend cheated on me it would be over.
A sports team can’t cheat on you. They might not play up to expectations, but they can’t cheat on you.

if your boy or girlfriend cheats on you do stay “loyal” also?

you have yet to get anything in return from the Blunder as a “loyal” fan” either.

You got it and if the Blunder keep losing remember you can always pick another team with a future.

Then when the Thunder become better, you better stick to your guns as an Eagles “fan”.

If you want to put up with excuses and last place finish’s go ahead
