Popular Post SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted November 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2022 (edited) 29 minutes ago, Dazzle said: I'm honestly shocked that there's still people in 2022 that will still defend this guy, or at least make excuses for his behaviour. He doesn't need the defense. Look at Mitchell's twin sister's tweet saying that people are "ruining" his brother's life. So, to summarize her main points here: -Mitchell Miller was a nice brother to his twin sister, who appears to be white and abled/neurotypical, and this is somehow relevant -the family that raised a son capable of repeatedly uttering the N-word and other racial taunts is “the last family to be racist or ignorant” -they’re not racists because they have black friends -society is ruining Miller’s life (aka “cancel culture”) and he is the victim -there are two sides to a story where a disabled black child was brutally bullied and subjected to racial slurs, repeatedly, for years and years No wonder she canceled her account. (Or perhaps it’s because people were starting to dig up her old tweets where she uses slurs? ) Edited November 7, 2022 by SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME 2 1 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJockitch Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Don’t think Don Sweeney should be let off the hook here either. Racist that is okay. ‘Abused handicapped kid, we can work with that. Captain and leadership group speaks out against it, they are just players, I make the decisions. NHL says not eligible to play so a waist of one of 50 contracts, rescind offer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is the family keeps referring to this as “a situation”, “a mistake” or an “incendient” when it’s clear that he tortured the kid for years. You automatically know she’s in the wrong when she is citing her African American friends/BF. She is right about one thing, there are always two sides to bullying: One person to do the bullying and another to be the victim. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even 1 minute of looking things up on Google would uncover enough dirt to make the conclusion that Miller has NOT learned, that he has taken almost NO steps to make things better. When someone sputters about "wokeness" or "cancel culture" those are signals you're talking to someone who can't think for themselves. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that is super cringey and gross. ”I know some black people so can’t be racist” followed up by a vague comment about how the disabled kid was also at fault for being bullied for years by these popular hockey players? 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neely and Sweeney with a giant swing and a miss on every level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it really just gets worse and worse as you read through her statement. Displays a shocking lack of insight/self-awareness and the complete inability to “read the room.” And so much entitlement underlying her comments. None of which is surprising, given that she’s his twin sister and was raised in the same house as Mitchell Miller. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell that you haven't done any digging so far. The more you look into every single statement made by Miller, his agent, and the Bruins, the worse it gets. Twitter has actually made it very easy for us to find the work of journalists who have looked up court records, interviewed the victim's family, and asked various league officials. You basically sound like someone telling others to think critically without doing any thinking of your own. Research what went on, research the (lack of) remorse and work Miller has done/shown the past two years, and make an actual judgment for yourself before spewing this pseudophilosophy anti-cancel culture nonsense. So Twitter Wikipedia etc is that journalism? Please anyone with a piece of computer hardware or a library card can post something to the internet. Easy to run with the herd. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a story about personal responsibility, I thought we were supposed to care about that too. There has been personal responsibility and consequences in terms of lost scholarships and prime development years. Based on agents response significant actions have been undertaken. What more would you have the player do? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've really dug into this as a 'cancel culture' tack like a dog on a bone. It seems like thats the part which is most important to you. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young person did horrible things. If your faith in humanity is so low that you don’t believe in redemption, personal improvement and change I feel sorry for you. If he fails again send him to the hinterlands but a steep price has been paid already. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the only thing you've looked up is the agent's statement. So you honestly believe that is the only opinion that matters? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post grandmaster Posted November 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2022 I can’t think of an NHL signing that has caused this much condemnation throughout the entire hockey community. The ink was still wet on that contract and the reaction was swift and just. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you understand that this kid has shown no remorse and taken no action for an apology up until a week before he signed with the Bruins. The apology was weak in the form of a snap message and he had all that time to do it from the moment he was convicted till only a couple weeks ago. Also The Carnegie Initiative came out saying they haven't worked with Miller. Just that they received a request to do so. This guy hasn't changed or shown that he's worth giving a second chance. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has done literally the bare minimum required of him to be able to start making his retirement fund. He has shown zero remorse, responsibility, empathy... The response and "apology" sent out on his behalf was not even written by him. I swear you haven't even read on this story and your more concerned with the idea of cancel culture that your blinded by your own ignorance. It's actually starting to really bug me that you preached about you being "too empathetic" towards the kid. Where's the empathy for the victim? Where's your moral sense of what's right and wrong and how to make good by those you wrong? You tried to take the high ground with your hand on the shoulder of a kid who abused a disabled person and your head in the sand. It's disgusting this is the hill you're choosing to die on...

It's disgusting this is the hill you're choosing to die on... this isn't 'cancel culture' this is a person who hasn't made amends or taken full responsibility for their actions @flat land fish surely you can see the difference. Having a job opportunity taken away from you isn't actually taking responsibility, its a consequence of some really awful actions. If this kid had made a genuine attempt to meet with the family and do things to directly correct some of what he did, there are many people who would give him another chance. But he hasn't done that. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
