Great article.

Getting "offended" on behalf of other people is a cottage industry now, and on full display in this thread. The fact that this is essentially the equivalent of high-school gossip seems to get the attention of pro hockey players and internet forum posters. What if the post had said that Phaneuf was a scientologist? or gay? Would you support his ability to restrict freedom of expression in the same way?

I am really curious how CP would react, if one of the posters here got sued because they made a post that said that Phaneuf was playing poorly because he was obviously injured. I very much doubt that the reaction here would be the same type of defense of Phaneuf's rights.
