Kane admitted that he had dealt with a gambling problem, and opened up about how it affected his life. He said his decision to file for bankruptcy in January was the first step to “making some better decisions moving forward.”
“I had a gambling problem, and when you have a gambling problem — just like a drinking problem or a drug problem — sometimes you can’t control your actions,” said Kane, who also said he’d once gambled on the night before a playoff game

Is this different than Alex Burrows making a drinking gesture towards Shane O'Brien? Part of me thinks that it isn't that much different, except how society views different addictions. Plus Kane has repeatedly messed up, and is a pretty unlikable person. |
I agree with this. But as you mention, the problem is that he’s a massive ######bag. It’s hard to have any empathy and I think that’s probably ok too. It’s a dickhead move to make fun of him but I admit that I secretly liked it.
