There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest. -Elie Wiesel
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! Let’s get this straight, I am no fan of Sean Avery. He’s the Reggie Dunlop of the NHL. “Hey Hanrahan! Hanrahan! Suzanne’s a dyke! I know, I know!” An unlikable Reggie Dunlop at that.
No, I do not like Sean Avery. I do not like him here or there. I do not like him anywhere. But what’s fair is fair. Stanley, see this? This is this. This ain’t something else. This is this.
This is what it is. Avery said some things. Some not very nice things. Some sloppy seconds things. He is immediately suspended indefinitely by the NHL. That is later amended to six games. Then hours after the last game of Avery’s suspension, the Dallas Stars announced that Avery would not return to the team. For words! Last I heard, sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. Last I heard, teeth hurt.
Jarkko Ruutu bites a man. Bites a man! He gets a two day suspension. He gets a slap on the wrist. He’ll be back on the ice before you can say Ogie Oglethorpe. It’s a travesty of a mockery of a sham of a mockery of a travesty of two mockeries of a sham.
Peace out homies. Six two and Even!
