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.

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

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.

So would I.

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

1. I understand his age, still doesn't change the fact he's paid to do a job
2. I don't have a porogative, I don't like hearing about a player bitch and moan after his team gave him chance after chance to prove his worth.If this makes me a bad person so be it, that is clearly your porogative.
3. Your attempt at stating that I have no empathy for anyone is petty and small, as I clearly stated that I empathize with him if he actually is going through serious problems
4. I didn't direct any anger towards any other poster like you claim. Just stating my opinion, if my wording had so much indignation then you must be a very sensitive person
5. Have a good night!
