Robin has a point.
How many players who don't have a a lot of clout or experience, would step forward and talk to the team about their mental health, if they know they'll be looked at as damaged goods? No one wants to put themselves at a disadvantage by asking for help.

I support Robin 110%, personally I have been affected by his condition in many ways and so have many of my family and friends.
We need to bring attention to the issue and offer more support to those effected by it and the families also.
Robin, due to his professional athlete status is able to bring a lot more attention to these conditions then most people with the same problems could ever wish for.
Our beloved Alfie was a strong advocate for the Royal Hospital as his sister's condition motivated him to be advocate for the cause and is still to this day.
I am very appreciative of athletes who use their fame and success to support social, mental, physical medical issues.
We all need to understand that these issues effect is all directly or indirectly.

A professional sports team already has a lot of media attention, they would rather hire someone with less propension to attract (negative) attention. Simple as that
All these "anti" campaigns and global misinformation will have had incommensurable impact, not just financially, but all the"additional" deaths and health problems, as well as all the collateral problems. It just allows the virus to be stronger, bigger and superspread longer, it delays any possible "normality" in dealing with this. If people could just shut up and do what needs to be done, life would be much easier.

Great to see these are still taboo and getting people shit canned.

Political views are not a legally protected class, so any company is free to not hire someone because of their expressed views.
At the end of the day, an organization can choose to not extend an offer for a multitude reasons. You could not be hired because you showed up to an interview sloppily dressed, or because you had a bad breakup with the hiring manager's sister, for example.

For sure and competition for employment is as fierce as ever, so a lot of people will have to fall in line or lose out.
No issue with different political views based in reality, just not what we saw from the last regime.

The internet has been around for almost 30 years now. People need to learn that content stays forever. They have been warning kids about content on Facebook for years now.
Some of the Jan. 6 people were caught thanks to their our posts and tweets.
People need to be smart enough to not be too public. A guy whose job is in the public domain, and was hoping to be with the Leafs, Canada's most public entity. What was he thinking?
He has a right his views. He better understand, people have a right to object. No one is denying him his rights to those views, or to put them out in public. People have the right to reject him based upon that. Fans could boycott the Marlies and the Leafs. Sponsors can boycott as well.
Lesson to everyone. The beauty of having rights, everyone has them. Not just you.

Who cares about his crazy tweets. Dude is top 5 in active league save percentage, despite having played on losing teams most of his career, and only costs 5M a year.

Some crazy money being handed out. Morgan Reilly must be licking his chops looking at an 8.5-9M contract next summer. Chabot is no longer overpaid.

No. What I said has nothing to do with his statistics or ability as a goalie. (Even though save percentage has little to do with quality of team by the way).I think it’s a huge risk having faith in Lehner to be your #1

How is that ridiculous?
Twitter is not good for people’s mental health in general. It’s clearly not good for him IMO. He needs to get off, it’s a recipe for disaster and a huge distraction.
You know how many people he is helping by speaking his truth? How do you know what works for him? Judging by his on ice play, he is clearly in a better frame of mind now then when he was in Ottawa.

I don’t think that’s clear but We’ll agree to disagree, I don’t think it’s a good thing for him to be on there especially given some of his recent tweets. If I were Vegas I’d watch it carefully
