eeeeergh Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 "The victim has been suicidal since the incident" ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW. This satan spawn is getting an NHL contract and hasn't even apologized, and his victim is suicidal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen any report he did that. Bruins fans are livid. This from the mother in 2020, which seems to indicate that the bullying went on as late as 2018. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh please, a fraction of the league is even willing to stick up for their own teammates, let alone a “random Ohio kid.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 It’s the refusal to apologize and complete lack of accountability for me. The actual bullying incidents, while horrific, are still forgivable IMO, if he were really willing to truly take responsibility, hold himself accountable for his actions, make a sincere and significant effort to apologize to the victim and help them heal and find closure, and commit himself to learning and improving from this. Mitchell was just a kid at the time. Doesn’t excuse the behaviour, but definitely reason to think he could change. (Well, maybe not him, but most kids have the capacity to learn and grow.) However, his actions (or inaction) since the incident suggests he’s not interested in changing or improving himself, and hasn’t really learned anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Mind Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 So it sounds like the Bruins didn't really want him, but because another slimy team (Chicago?) wanted to sign him, then they should sign him instead? Sweeney should be fired. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm impressed tbh, not just by Boston fans themselves but by the reception from other fanbases in general No idea why Boston management thought this would go over well 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
