Imagining thinking this is a good article to post when literally 2 days ago there was a huge article about abuse in hockey. There are literally people experiencing ACTUAL ABUSE in your sport. But you're going to casually toss that word around as a joke? https://theathletic.com/1829923/2020/05/22/why-everyone-abuses-jake-debrusk/?source=user-shared-article

Painting that it's normal to go after one of your friends? That being different gives a free pass to be mocked? That this culture is expected and okay???

Wow, where have we seen this mindset before? In Colin Wilson's lame ass reasoning for not using pride tape just last week. It's not cute that hockey players make fun of anything that isn't the average. This isn't funny.

the author of this article in the comments section: " I don’t think readers would have been ready for the tone of this story earlier. I know I wasn’t in the right frame of mind to write it correctly. I hope readers can enjoy it now." Truly, what the fuck.
