You can't really go into a convenience store or a fast food joint without seeing the front page of the Sun somewhere, and considering the picture (anything Flames related is going to draw the attention of Flames fans), lots of people were going to read that headline whether they wanted to or not.
Considering that most of us got what we wanted here, we could handle it with a bit of grace. There's no need to taunt the guy on his way out of town, and to do it so publicly is downright pathetic and embarrassing.
I'd like to say that I'll boycott the Sun henceforth, but since I haven't bought or read their crap since people needed the Sunday TV guide, I have no leverage. All I know is that I wont give a flying fata when they finally go under as a business.

My reading comprehension is fine, thank you. I'm not talking about anybody defending Brouwer's impact as a hockey player. I'm talking about the double standard as many individuals on this board have ripped Brouwer for over a year talking about firing him into the sun, etc. The sun headline is tasteless, but it echo's the sentiments of what many here have wrote over the past 12 months.
