My opinion is that Emery, being a hockey player we had all watched, is a bit more close to home than an up and coming rapper and therefore a bit more empathy for us. |
Thanks for pointing that out. The response is a bit perplexing.
You also see posters wishing for injury on players just because they had a big hit on one of ours. Or everyone being happy that Burrows had to retire because he's known as a dirty hockey player.
