His intentions were not to hurt feelings, hence the use of a private chat. You think most people don't find it acceptable to talk how YOU want to talk to YOUR friends in a private setting? Well, I'd wager you'd be wrong about that. It IS hurtful to "share" these types of conversations...they breed intolerance and hatred. What is the point of talking a bunch of crap? Find something useful unless you're immature and find this somehow "entertaining". Anyone over about 16 probably should not. It's not a private setting...it's the internet. The point IS that it was offensive...the world wouldn't be talking about it otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is carelessness something that shouldn't be considered and that fact that he "didn't mean to" be the end all be all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calling a girl fat in a group chat is well...kinda common The bolded is the problem in society. No accountability for actions if they're not considered "killing". 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally feel that if anyone is caught with a gun and they aren’t in the military it should be an automatic 25 year jail sentence and tripled if a person does harm intentional or not.

Thing is, in a roundabout way it does sometimes kill. People who are shamed/bullied can end up in a really lonely, dark place so this isn't necessarily "harmless fun". When you target someone, it's never really ok. "Fun"??? or not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lock Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Just now, The 5th Line said: I'll call him a balding little mutt with not much of an NHL future and If I was Pearson I would run him through the boards next year. I wouldn't complain about his comments being offensive though, especially seeing as how the intentions were for just his friends to see it. See, that's the thing. You're complaining about one extreme (while people aren't 100% that extreme from what I've read) while being on the other extreme (yet also not 100% that direction). Still, there has to be a middle ground here don't you think? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Leipsic has the right to think and say whatever he wants. But Leipsic’s “right” to play NHL hockey is subject to the CBA, which includes Article 18-A.2, which states that if a player is “guilty of conduct (whether during or outside the playing season) that is detrimental to or against the welfare of the League or the game of hockey, [the Commissioner] may discipline such Player in any or all of the following respects: (a) by expelling or suspending such Player for a definite or indefinite period; (b) by cancelling any SPC that such Player has with any Member Club; or (c) by imposing a fine on the Player not exceeding the maximum permissible fine under Section 18.7(b).” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professional sports are supposed to be, guess what? PROFESSIONAL! If i said the same things in a group chat with some work colleagues and they got leaked and the public saw.

Standing_Tall#37 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I can’t help but feel that some people upset with Brendan Leipsic are being very anti-Semitic. I don’t understand how someone coming from his personal background would be racist. I think some of the criticism in this thread from posters comes from some of their sick dislike or prejudice of his personal heritage. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People need to chill Doesn't make him a bad person in general. But he sure turned into one for a while. And considering we're talking about what he said "in private", it's not exactly private anymore now is it? Edited May 7, 2020 by The Lock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because his sir name is or was connected to a religious belief or area of land doesnt mean that person is practicing or following in good standing. Drugs, booze, sexism, racism, body shaming, NSA sex, trash talking others..... If he is practicing any religion, he is not.in good standing. His family name has zero to do with his words.

Provost Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 (edited) I spent years in the army.... we used language you couldn’t believe and talked smack a lot, but it was taking the piss out of each other directly. Not being whiny little cowards just making fun of other people and generally being douche bags. We all knew some of those types of hockey guys in high school. There are lots of private conversations that I wouldn’t like to be made public. I can say things to friends and make awful offensive jokes , because they know me and my heart and know the context. This stuff doesn’t fall into that category because it isn’t bad jokes or ribbing each other... just being asshats. Guy will be gone from the league... no doubt at all. You have to not suck to get second chances. Edited May 7, 2020 by Provost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
