Yet unsurprised and just laughing and laughing and laughing and yes crying but also so much hysterical laughter bc i don't know which way is up anymore i enjoy this man sm
- The NHL has agreed to the termination and the NHLPA does not seem to intend to appeal it either. (Read: whatever happened was bad enough and provable enough that they don't want to get involved and lose face.)
- As per GM Kyle Davidson in his press conference, "no players or their families were involved", and to say otherwise is "frankly disgusting". (Read: stop with the Perry fucked Bedsy's mom rumors.)
- Also as per Kyle from Chicago, the incident(s?) in question DID happen at work and were a "personnel matter". (Read: likely had to do with Perry and a Hawks employee.)
- Davidson also said they're trying to "change culture" and "have a culture of accountability". (Read: workplace harassment?)
- What happened was "very disturbing". (Read: possibly Perry was verbally harassing a Hawks employee, or even physically/sexually, but it was bad enough to disturb the GM of the racist team with the history of sexual assault.)
- That being said, "law enforcement is not involved". (Read: likely did not reach the level to warrant criminal prosecution, but bad enough that the NHLPA will not appeal, which is a very thin line to walk.)
Watch the entire presser here.
(Note: Davidson does do a fair bit of weaving around questions and what he seems he truly wants to say, as is expected. But what he DOES say is incredibly interesting.)
Actually no, the rumours about Perry sleeping with Bedard's mother are not funny. This is an 18 year old boy who was already thrust into the spotlight, yanked into a terrible franchise, and crushed under the weight of thousands of people's expectations. He's already under scrutiny. He's already under immense pressure. And, y'know, he's 18 years old. He is a child. Shit like this is not funny.
why are people genuinely thinking the leafs should sign corey perry??? not only is he the one who almost ended john tavares career accident or not, he did something so bad that the CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS don’t want him anywhere near their organization. this is such a bad idea this better just be speculation
If it was bad enough that he wasn't claimed off of waivers immediately after why is he eligible 2 months later?? TELL US.
WHAT STEPS has he taken to have the privilege of playing pro sports in the public eye, be a role model to kids, make generational wealth???
What has he done to redeem himself as a co-worker future colleagues at all levels, in and around the team, can feel safe working with, and trust both on and off the ice???
TRANSPARENCY pls instead of instant discourse of ooh which team should sign him?! Ooh!
And of course all the shitty gross bedard mom jokes are back.
