Damn, he's suspended.

He'll never play for the Blackhawks again, wow. Thanks for helping win two championships.

I'll be where ever I am when I feel comfortable, thanks.

So how many games for Brouwer's illegal cross-check to the face?

I mean, we all know that's way less dangerous than yelling a terribly upsetting slur, but still, maybe the office should take a minute or two look at it?

Was he directing the slur to someone who is suspected to be gay, or was it more of a general insult along the lines of Alec Baldwin in Glengarry Glen Ross ("are you listening to me, you fucking burritos?")?

I am curious as to whether most people would consider one worse than the other.

Not suspected to be gay, no.

Funny to watch people on HFboards earnestly arguing that "burrito" is worse than "motherfucker" because one is a slur and the other is just a mean thing to call someone.

I'm sad he is suspended but I don't mind it. I see why, and I don't condone what he said. Let's not act like he barged into a gay bar and started beating people senseless.

It's like the campaign to not call people "retards." As if me calling my buddy a genius for doing something dumb has any effect on how I think of actual retards. Or as if calling actual retards something other than "retards" somehow changes the state of their condition.

My thoughts had nothing to do with this situation. I don't think he should be suspended but I thought your evolution statement was silly.

Well, words do have meanings and connotations. I don't see the point in using a word that will hurt people unless my objective is to hurt them. But we should draw the line at some point with the doublespeak.

I was curious to see if they would show Shaw's meltdown uncut and they did.

No mistaking everything he was alleged to have said.

That word makes me feel icky. I know how it makes a good friend of mine feel... so I'm hypersensitive to it. I hate hearing it
