His days are done after being paid a ridiculous amount of money over the last 5 years.

Yes.

If he wants to be an ass and carry himself like an entitled pos that's his decision. I don't feel pitty for a guy who has banked in an insane amount of money and is now all pissy that he isn't getting playing time.

That is your prerogative, but I don't understand why you feel the need to direct so much indignation to others who do not share your opinion. There are plenty of good reasons to be sceptical about the second-hand information in the OP.

Why anyone would pitty him is beyond me.

I am not surprised. You have made abundantly clear that empathy is not a priority for you.

It's a cut throat business and Wideman should know this, he's benefited greatly from it.
|
I expect that Wideman understands how things work in the NHL better than anyone on this board. The nature of the business does not change the fact that his sudden change of fortune is likely very difficult emotionally, and socially. It has to be embarrassing to be faced with the sudden reality that he is no longer capable of doing the job he is paid to do.

I would like to know what Wideman has done for the ref after he may of ended his career.

So would I.

He is "suffering" because of himself and how he has underperformed, I don't feel bad for him for one second.
|
He has underperformed because he is aging, and his body is not capable of the same level of physical performance to which he is accustomed. To exacerbate matters, he depends on his physical attributes to earn a living. I will be 44-years-old next month, and this is something I understand very well. It sucks, and I am frequently frustrated by it. Thank god it doesn't affect my ability to provide for my family.

The world is filled with many people who really do struggle every day, maybe Wideman is struggling with something else I don't know, but I will not be empathetic towards someone who has had the career he's had and made the money he's made. Give me a break

You seem to think that money solves every problem. How small and petty of you.
