Should he have brought it up? Probably not. Was he intentionally trying to minimize someone’s behavior and it’s grander societal meanings or effects or culture etc? Probably not. Does this make Matthews a permanently bad human and piece of shit? Probably not. Can you temporarily say he’s an asshole? Probably yeah. If you perpetuate that for his entire career based on that one incident you’re part of the problem my man. Sorry.
Welcome to cancel culture.
If you think it's funny to get your boys together and go scare a woman just to scare the shit out of her cause it's funny, you are 100% an asshole. Maybe one day you change and figure it out that you were an asshole but until then, you are the problem. It was also stated it wasn't the first time Matthews had tried to scare a woman before. This type of act is a way people push the boundaries and see what they can and can't get away with, before they move on to really hurting people.
If you act like in any way shape or form, any sort of sporting accolades, makes up for you scaring, hurting, raping, assaulting someone, etc then you don't fucking get it and are part of the problem. There is a huge number of athletes who consistently get away with rape, assault and plenty of other shit and people act like because they won a Cup or Super Bowl or w/e, then we can forget about it.
The people sexually assaulting, abusing, etc and those who defend them are the problem.

"Details and reporting from Strang’s article on The Athletic also highlighted that it was not the first time that Matthews had attempted to frighten someone on Scottsdale Road that night. But, per a friend that had been out with Matthews at the time, he “didn’t give a shit” about the potential consequences."

Vamos los Perds! Amped for some hackey. Caught a bit of WSH/STL yesterday along with the Knights dismantling the Shraks late night. About to peace out of the office early to settle in for NSH/MIN.
Copley cleared waivers woo
Perds first no-goal of the season was a Granlund high sticked puck into Bonino's mask. Call was initially no goal, then changed to a goal after referee huddle, then reviewed for a no goal. Clearly no goal from the start...
Flames picking up exactly where they left off against the Avs in the playoffs
Lucy already got 17 pim lol
Larsson out 6-8 weeks with a broken fibula from a shot block last night. Ouch.
Also can't help but laugh a little at Zadorov looking at the ref waiting for him to save him from Lucic after he boarded the fuck out of whoever that Flame was.

Erik Karlsson and his Wife had a baby girl. Good news to hear after the previous loss and shit that followed. Guess they were keeping her pregnancy secret this time.
