So this statement does in fact mean McDavid does dive than?
I googled
reputation, and got this:
Your reputation is what others think of you; your character is what you truly are
McDavid's true character was never diving.
A few playoffs ago, the refs didn't call any of the penalties when people interfered with him. People everywhere including myself were once again forced to call out Gary Bettman's - and the NHL's and the refs' - lack of integrity and scumbaggery, and we now see that the penalties against him are called.
Sadly McDavid has to actively work the refs to see that it remains that way, and it cements his reputation as a whiner. But that is not his true character, it is forced on him by Bettman, the NHL, and the refs, whose true character is reprehensible..
Same as that 'nucks team with the dominant power play was forced to work the officials when they also refused to hand out penalties.
So reputation is what people think, and the reputation I have of that 'nucks team and of McDavid is obviously different from what others think.
Once people hear what my thoughts are based on - and what those others have supposedly based their thoughts on - then they have a pretty good idea what reputation matches the true character.
