Miscellaneous NHL Discussion LXXXVIII: The Liaison of Doom

[Hollywood Cannon]

What would you classify it as?

In case it isn't clear, he's "asking" the reporter to remove the phallic shaped microphone from her mouth.

Do you not classify this as sexual harassment?

“Back in my day I could say anything I wanted to women and they didn’t care!”

 

[landsbergfan]

I wouldn't even call that sexual harassment, but that's definitely not the point lol

Ah didn't hear the inuendo about the mic. Thanks for your vigilance in these times of depravity and angst.

Looks like that guy has severe mental illness that isn't being treated and is an indictment of the mental health crisis but that isn't "current thing" enough to be selectively outraged over. He very clearly looks homeless and out of his mind. If you've ever been to any big city in North America, you can find a guy like this shouting insane shit at random people 24/7. But yeah let's make it all about sexual harassment and "male hockey fans bad" since it fits neatly into the story...

"There’s something grimly poetic about being sexually harassed by a man in a hockey jersey while talking about alleged sexual misconduct by hockey players."

It has nothing to do with male hockey fans.

Way to gloss over the entire point. She selectively ignored that the guy was clearly mentally ill because it fit in with her story but hey the mental health crisis isn't the flavor of the day so I get it.

No point was glossed over and nothing was selectively ignored in this situation. She reported on X and something related to X happened to her while reporting about it. She doesn't need to talk about Y issues.

She felt she was sexually harassed in that moment. The fact that the man is likely mentally ill does not matter as it does not absolve him of his actions. This is way too deep of a conversation to be having in a miscellaneous hockey thread though.

His supposed mental illness is not her problem nor she should have to tolerate that type of harassment because of it.

Additionally, the mental health crisis IS the flavor of the day. It's more discussed today than ever before. Just google "mental health pandemic."

Yeah well women only watch hockey because of Tyler Seguin

Funny how it's conveniently ignored here though because most people don't take offense if a mentally ill individual says crazy shit to them even if it's offensive. And if a person was truly concerned or offended, they would go to the police or social services, not make a twitter post. I just don't see what's "grimly poetic" about using a clearly mentally ill and likely homeless individual to make your point about sexual misconduct in hockey.

And that guy we traded for Matt Ellison.

Troy Murray, Patrick Sharp will split Blackhawks’ TV analyst role

John Wiedeman will return to the WGN radio booth and work with Murray or Caley Chelios.

Umm... no, no, they wouldn't.

One could argue that it's also "grimly poetic" that you believe that going to the police (or social services) would yield any type of positive result for the offended party knowing what happened with Hockey Canada and the police investigation.

Yeah you're right, it's better to just ignore the obvious mental illness and score sweet social media validation.

You sound like a victim blamer.

She felt that she was sexually harassed. That's where it ends. It doesn't need to go any deeper than that in an attempt to diminish how she felt.

That was a damned good kitty. RIP.

This is a strange hill for you to die, but to each their own. Have a good weekend.

Nice buzzword. Sorry that you feel using mentally ill individuals to make your point is OK.

What point is being made here?

 

[Beef Invictus]

I don't see at all how it's obvious that guy is mentally ill or homeless.

 

[kudymen]

Getting angry at a statement -that was not made - and attributing someone feelings towards illnesses - feelings that that were not mentioned or stated.
Some midseason form strawmenning right there, wooo

First coach fired this season? Lindy Ruff.

Honestly, I think they are going to be a bit better than we think. I think they have a lot of great young pieces and a decent D-core right now, especially with Subban gone. I'll be honest, I think Eakins gets fired before Ruff.
