Sorry I should clarify. I am not talking about having a conversation about respect in the work place, routing racism out in hockey and the allegations that are being discussed.
It's that we are now at a point where everybody is literally arguing about everything and tearing each other apart. A huge part of this is because of social media. People are literally cheering and routing for everybody to fail and for everything to go to hell for everyone.
Case in point: Bill Peters firing. People were freaking out about the entire situation and couldn't wait for it to happen quick enough. People were furious about the "delay" as people wanted their blood and wanted it quick. In reality we had a serious situation with a ton of balls in the air that needed to be dealt with and it was dealt with in a grand total of 3 full days, wasn't fast enough for some.
Everybody has their opinion about things but on the flip side, if by any chance there is any other changes that relate to the Akim Aliu investigation. Say for example there was confirmation that Peter's did apologize to the team, as he said in his letter, what will the reaction to AKim Aliu be? He is going to be viciously called every name in the book and will create a firestorm for his tweet saying he didn't. People will be out for his head and it will be sad.
I just think we have gotten to a point where everybody want's to prove their point and nobody cares about anything. People furious with the Flames organization, Tre and company and how they should just "roast him and write the chq to get rid of him" Easy for people to say when the issue was what had happened at other employers.
One a recent Fan 960 piece I heard Commie talk about the situation and he was giving it to Peters really really really hard. I get it as its a bad topic and that language has no place in 2009 or 2019. It dawned on me though that he has no issue tweeting about Babcock and saying the filthiest stuff in the world, minus the obvious racial slurs, about him online. So we are rationalizing twitter abuse because somebody doesn't say a rational slur?
The world is messed up
