Tibbles sticking around?

I watched this movie again just the other day, one of the many things that doesn't make sense this time around is why Tibbles sticks around cheering for the team after Gordon basically claims Hendrix hockey as a "distraction" when he burns his cardboard cutout. Didn't that basically symbolize he was cutting ties with Hendrix? Why would Tibbles stick around and still cheer for the team and hang out with Jan? I guess it's meant to show hockey is more important than business.

Bombay still had a signed contract-burning a card board cutout doesn't void a legal and binding contract he signed

I'm not saying that action voided his contract, but that it was used to show that he was cutting ties with Hendrix. He called them a distraction (because of all the popularity, money, hanging out with celebrities, doing advertising, the big house they gave him, etc.) and it was pretty clear he was putting an end to his relationship with them (and Tibbles represented Hendrix.) It may not show him directly voiding his contract with them, but I don't think he wanted a part of them after that. He isn't seen with Tibbles at all after that, even though Tibbles is seen with Jan. I suppose Tibbles just wanted to cheer for the team still even though Gordon didn't want to be part of Hendrix anymore?

I think tibbles stuck around because he realized that winning isn't everything and decided that bombay and the ducks were good people.

I think Tibbles wanted to T-bag Bombay. And he wanted Jan to video tape it, so he started sucking up to him...
