It’s not evil.
It’s actually far more disgusting how you are trying to turn this into more than it is with incredibly specious arguments. What the city has given or whatever that nonsense is has nothing to do with anything.
If the Wings or some of Vladdy’s teammates wanted to kick into support him, it would be fantastic. It would be amazing. But the fact that they aren’t fronting the money for living expenses or health care over twenty years after the fact when he got injured in a very very unfortunate accident while celebrating with some of the team isn’t an example of evil.
It sucks that Vladdy and his family are in such dire straits. It really sucks. But the Wings, the NHL/NHLPA, and even Vladdy’s old teammates aren’t somehow lesser men or organizations because they don’t foot the bill for him
I can't hear you over a literal billionaire letting a guy who helped build his brand and his family potentially lose the care he needs so he has to CROWD FUND his care. What's worse, and what you don't care to address is that part of that brand they built is that they take care of their own. Detroit has done a lot for the Illitches. Paid for their arena, given them millions in tax breaks, haven't charged them for water (which is really weird), let them have sweet heart deals for land they refuse to develop. The least they can do is actually live up to the image they work so hard to tell us all about.
