Petition circulating online in an attempt to get Oilers GM Stan Bowman fired

Thousands upon thousands of offended Oilers fans are circulating and signing a petition in an attempt to get new GM Stan Bowman immediately fired.

Just hours after it was announced that Stan Bowman would be taking over as general manager of the Edmonton Oilers, offended fans of Oiler Nation began to sign a petition to have him fired. It's estimated that there are nearly 3000 signatures already, roughly four times the size of Vatican City.

Bowman was involved in the 2010 s**ual assault scandal of former player Kyle Beach, while he was the GM of the Chicago Blackhawks. The news came out roughly ten years after the alleged r*pe of Beach by one of the team's equipment managers, and it was at that point that it was determined Bowman knew about this act, and did absolutely nothing about it, essentially sweeping it under the rug.

No one knows if this petition will work, or if team President Jeff Jackson even cares what the fans think at this point. Jackson suffered heartbreak in game 7 of the finals this year, and went out and hired a proven winner, as Bowman has already three Stanley Cups under his belt. The Oilers will do whatever it takes to win.
