[News] Chicago terminating Perry's contract

[Jiri Hrdina]

You don't think it's disgusting that potentially a false rumor about real people with real lives spreads like this?
Nothing wrong with that?

Are you implying people on the internet would lie and shouldn't be trusted?


I could never...

I think it's ####ty. I'm not wishing it on anyone. But the subject matter just isn't that bad. The worst case scenario doesn't see anyone's life in danger or their livelihood threatened. It sees a hard conversation between four spouses. It just isn't what comes to mind when I think of the word "disgusting"


I could be off base here, but this isn't eliciting a feeling of 'disgusting'

Are you suggesting there's anything we can do about it? Junky tabloid journalism like this has been around forever.

Mods have the power to shut this conversation down if they so choose. Apart from that, the decision to engage with this celebrity gossip trash is up to individual preference.

Moral dilemma. Trust a random twitter user / trust an access journalist who just put out a youtube video where his emotion seems weirdly performative

And it's bloody stupid for anyone to insinuate this kids mom would put her son (and family), who've worked his whole life for this, into any type of team related infidelity situation like she's just some deprived housewife looking to get some from the first NHL player available to her.

God forbid people just assume Perry screwed up badly whether it be drugs or behavioral in general (which is the most likely and reasonable outcome here). Brining an 18 year old kid and his family into this kind of garbage is just gross for anyone involved.

I can't see how two consenting adults sleeping together would give them the right to terminate his contract.
I can't imagine there is an infidelity or sleeping with another player mom's clause.

I have to think it was more inline with hazing, very heated fighting with coaching/management, really off-colour comments, drug use or not showing up to mandatory activities.

No chance this is the reason. Frankly, this is the reason for every joe blow traded out of town in every sports city.

Hopefully more details come out soon. This is quickly becoming one of the biggest stories of the year.

fyp.

All this and not one photo of his mom..........

The league needs to bring in Babcock to get to the bottom of this.

Seems odd to believe the Internet on this one as your default position.

Because I think it’s funny and I want to it to be true.

Until Schroedinger opens the box, the cat is both alive and dead.

Perry would have been fine. Babcock only checked the rookies phones

Ime Udoka was fired by the Celtics as well for having an affair with a staff member. He was suspended first and fired a bit later. It was also said he harassed her.

So it doesn't seem like something like this has never happened before.

The thing about infidelity in general online is it's often a little more complex and greyer than it is black and white. But when you're not directly involved it's probably human nature to have more of a moral dualism perspective.

TLDR: People are messy. Kinda like this thread.

I’m ####posting during an embarrassing moment for repugnant franchise - nothing more, nothing less.

(Also, hockey journalists aren’t real journalists- real journalists break stories like Kyle Beach. Hockey writers are access merchants playing their role in a machine. Which is fine, most of the time, except when actual things happen).

I think an issue with society is being so concerned with people's sex life and sexuality that #### like this matters at all. I just don't think it's relevant or should matter. But I also accept I am probably in a minority there.
