Sean Avery has been suspended 6 games for an offhand comment. I agree that he should be reprimanded and if the team deems they were going to suspend him, thats up to them but for the league to go out and suspend someone for 6 games for a comment he made is just not right. I know he is a little nuts and loves the spotlight, but he was making a joke and looking for attention, he didn't mean any harm by it and personally i dont know that it was so bad. What did he say you ask well he said that other players like his "sloppy seconds" a reference to other players dating his ex gfs. I just cant imagine getting in trouble for saying something like that but its the world we live in now i guess.
If he was your average ordinary hockey player, he probably wouldn't get in trouble. But, since Avery is so controversial, I can understand why the league did suspend him.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree, and I honestly don't think he should have been suspended at all. I'm not a big NHL fan, so I don't know too much about Avery, although from what I've heard he is no stranger to controversy.
