What is this all about?

I don’t understand how ESPN brought him back. It was obviously last year that he hasn’t watched the league in 20 years and he can’t string a sentence together.Already sick of these Messier ads on ESPN, f*** that piece of shit
It’s…not pretty
If this can be corroborated forget cutting him, he should be in jail
It’s apples and oranges to some extent. Other than generalized supposition we can’t make one specific allegation involving McLeod. At least that I’ve seen. That matters in real court if not the court of public opinion. There’s also the jurisdictional issues. It’s messy but there are differences. The thing I don’t understand is what is taking the Hockey Canada thing this long. It’s one incident with a limited number of witnesses and limited forensic evidence. It should t be hard to get the texts and emails and snap chats and instagrams and you can interview the players and the victim. It could be done already as far as fact finding.Meanwhile McLeod(and the other dozen or so guys)….
I had long been a fan but allowing him to don the Jersey while acting like there isn’t a heinous accusation out there is a bad look.
I think it goes beyond sports. To me it’s a by product of never being told no. Too much attention and being told you are more important than you are. Sports entertainment politics. Lots of places it rears its ugly head.I don’t want to generalize to much but this seems to be a big issue in all North American sports.

Yeah, there was some one on here about a month ago (HBK....)telling everyone you can't suspend a player while they're only being investigated. It's punishing them when they haven't been proven worng yet. Would love to hear his take on Cole and how the Bolts are wrong. I'm pretty sure we won't hear from him again especially when he was blatantly wrong.Wait I thought (from reading here) that players shouldn’t be suspended while an investigation is on going?
you're right, it's against the entire team and organization. And there's two of them. Again, he should be nowhere near a hockey rink while an investigation is taking place.We don't even know if McLeod is being investigated as a participant, an accomplice after the fact or not at all. There isn't one direct public allegation against McLeod at the moment though.
Then neither should everyone else involved...sure we can make an example of him to make everyone feel better but I'm sure he and the NHLPA would file a grievance if he was the only player in the NHL to be suspended before that investigation was completed and everyone else gets to play.you're right, it's against the entire team and organization.

Nor does he already have something else very public on his record that impugns his character like Cole does cheating on his wife with a team reporter.
I agree. That's why none of them should play. Tampa did the smart thing. Every smart gm / owner and coach knows you can't put a guy in the lineup that's being investigated for being a sexual predator. It's a no brainer.Then neither should everyone else involved...sure we can make an example of him to make everyone feel better but I'm sure he and the NHLPA would file a grievance if he was the only player in the NHL to be suspended before that investigation was completed and everyone else gets to play.

It looks like it was a response to this.
I’m also posting an amusing Twitter joke based on Simmons being at the Toronto Sun since 1987 despite having the talent of an average doorknob.
Edit: a better description.
Look I'm not saying he's a good hire but what has Sakic done before he became GM for example, he had much less experience. And we can also say he only got the job in the first place because he's their best player ever.Yeah doesn’t mean it’s not true. Though
What positives has Chris even accomplished? Just because he has been in the business doesn’t make him qualified. Listen you think what you want and I’ll think what I want
