because obviously none of this shit has been grotesque and mocking enough, yesterday the nhl announced that a fucking piece of shit arbitrator decided 27 games for domestic fucking violence was just too much and reduced his suspension to 18 games. 18 games. 2 games less than tom wilson and nate schimdt will be suspended for. if this doesnt tell you exactly how the nhl sees violence against women , i dont know what will. i’m disgusted he’s allowed to play at all, but there’s been other cases like his, some worse, some in my own teams, so while disgusted, i wasnt surprised. this reduction, however, is a statement. yet again, it tells the fans, the players, their partners and their families, that the nhl not only has room for domestic abusers–it makes room.
When people talk about Mitch Marner being too small and too weak I’ll just direct them to this gif. Just to explain exactly how much weight this is the red plates are 25 kg (55.4LB), yellow are 15kg (33LB) and the green are 10kg (22LB).
That equates to 220 kg (485LB), thats nearly three times his weight (he’s 180LB). Absolutely insane, really puts into perspective when you see players who are much larger carrying the same weight.
