Mister Snider Remembered

[Novacatt94]

Yeah, now he is just talking out of his ass. Mr. Snider is beloved in Philadelphia. All you need to know is that everyone calls him Mr. Sinder, not Ed Snider.

I guess it never occurred to him to say "Please, call me Ed?"

Grown men with their annoying monotone Canadian accents groveling before "Mister Snider" was very bizarre.

Exactly - this kind of silly deification would make 99.9% people uncomfortable. The .1% are old school mafia guys who won the olive war or Donald Trump. Even Trump usually refers to himself as Trump. And I have no idea on why the guy who brought you the worst cable service in history, and couldn't produce a winner in 4 decades was so beloved. We have guy just like that here - James Dolan. No one's calling him Mr anything, I assure you.

For me it's simple - I grew up watching the Flyers and always heard the players, announcers, coaching staff etc call him "Mr. Sinder", so it stuck. That is what he is known as in Philly, I see nothing wrong with it.

Can I get a ruling on Maestro's? Is it ok to call them Dr. all the time?
