Seriously, here is a sport that penalizes on ice, in game fist fights with a few minutes in the penalty box and now a player is supposed to be fined and/or suspended for WORDS?

Let the players or teams involved sort it out for themselves.

Regardless of what Simmonds called him, he’s a weasel, and (like Matt Cooke) has no place in the NHL. If there was no instigator rule and he tried pulling half the stuff he’s able to get away with today, his career would have been incredibly short.

I don’t care if he’s gay or not (and I really do wish a major North American athlete would come out so the use of the word “f*ggot” would lose it’s power as an insult in sports) — what I care about is Sean Avery is a weasel who needs to get beat down.
