Thread: Wayne Simmonds (alledgedly) calls Sean Avery an anti-gay slur (article)

Meh, if it wasn't Sean Avery, I'd probably still laugh my hiney off. And Avery had it coming.

And who here hasn't called another man any sort of gay slur?
There's the "playground gay" version of the word, like when you're calling your obviously straight friend one because he decided to cook a burger using spinach instead of lettuce, perfect situation to call him that.

I have two gay friends and one night while drinking a bunch of us were just hanging around and they were chit chatting about something and someone, could be me, maybe not, allegedly said "I don't mean offend to you *$gs but that's just qu**r" Laughter ensued, more alcohol drained, my butt to the wall remained.

Have a nice day

I mean, just trying to get under his skin and all that right? See what they're trying to say? It makes perfect sense and is sound logic. You just have to think like someone who thinks being gay is wrong.

Actually if all these yapping agitators really thought that anything they say on the ice is supposed to be left on the ice the way they think it is then yes it would be totally ok for avery to call simmonds a ******. They are saying something to get a response regardless of the appearance of said action. Unless a ref wants to start handing out unsportsmanlike penalties for trash talk there's no offical rule against it. I don't see the big deal at all. "he said something totally offensive to make me angry and hurt my feelings", well recognize it and go from there. If it doesn't work he'll stop saying it. (Please note I'm only stating this from the standpoint of people who believe they are allowed to do whatever it takes to win on the ice but don't think it reflects personally of them off it, except that they are winners).

Simmonds has a hearing today with colin campbell. He will most likely get a fine.

To call Avery a piece of trash is an insult to trash.

While I totally agree, I don't think that gives people carte blanche to start calling each other n***** or f***** or anything like that. Talk about their mother, their wife, whatever. At least be creative with it. Going to the lowest common denominator shows a lack of a lot of thing. Not the least of which is ingenuity.

I know that word offends gay people. But I also know that it was not used in a setting where it normally would get this much attention and it wasn't used towards a gay person.

So just to change it up a bit: "I know THAT word offends African American people. But I also know that it was not used in a setting where it normally would get this much attention and it wasn't used towards an African American person." So it's all cool in your book?

Yeah. As long as the person isn't black, calling them a stupid n***** is ok.
