Cyd Zeigler the pathetic little man is still posting, crawl back into your cave and decay the world would rejoyce
Cyd Zeigler As a gay Bolts fan, it didn't make me cringe because I knew what he meant. Just those who don't know the every day part of hockey wouldn't understand.
Cyd Zeigler By accepting this “punishment”, this slap on the wrist, you’re saying to the sporting community that, overall, the use of slurs is a ‘minor issue,’ something to move past and not focus on. Youre saying it’s ok if we don’t do the work to get that language out of the locker rooms.
Cyd Zeigler Awww... feewings hurt? A glaring one how Cooper after the game vs Washington went to check on a player he previously coached who had to be taken off on a stretcher last month.
Cyd Zeigler Secondly, your willingness and readiness to give him forgiveness is enablement at best. By saying we need to move on, by saying this isn’t important, you’re choosing to ignore the immensity of the ripples of harm something like this can do.
Cyd Zeigler I’m sorry but this is really giving an “I’m a straight apoligist” vibe. Mainly, to use a “heat of the moment” argument is to wholly invalidate the situation. It’s 2024. At this point if you drop a slur like that, it’s in your language frequently enough to be the first word said.
Cyd Zeigler Because the words don't sound like him. The series of events don't really add up. How he describes the player's reaction is simply absurd. I don't think he self-reported. I think he fessed up because it was caught on the microphone.
