Theoren Fleury
I wake up this morning to Theo Fleury still yammering more conspiracy bull#### and I'm pissed.
Some garbage about Fauci again, followed by a "It’s hilarious when people get triggered." tweet. I've stopped caring about the rough past he experienced lately - as he's demonstrated through this pandemic that he is a mongrel himself.
[Edit: bad joke didn't go well] - but are you guys also supporting this ####?
Can we PLEASE all agree that we're finally done with 14?
It's December, and we still have to tolerate this ####.

I love the player, love the survivor.
The man on Twitter is an idiot.
It's complicated.

As a staunch Fleury defender from the very beginning, I would always say we should separate the off-ice shenanigans from his amazing career. I can't do it anymore. You've lost me Theo and I don't think I'm the only one.

I would argue that Theo's past makes him deeply distrustful of authority figures. It's baked into who he is as a person now, and that leads to belief in conspiracy theories and anti-establishment rhetoric.
It's amazing what can be forgiven knowing the person. Walk a mile in his shoes...blah blah blah.
I don't condone it, and I can't stand that he puts it out there, but he is who he is, and there's no point getting upset about it.

You guys in Alberta have been QUITE the surprise this year - but are you guys also supporting this ####?

What the heck does this even mean?? If this means what I think this means, what a stupid thing to say.
If I am missing something, please carry on

That's why I posted today, I think it's more than just a Twitter idiot
That's a stupid moron with a selfish agenda using a firehose like Twitter to push what he wants to believe.
He also isn't some random. He would have the community and friends reaching out with truth and logic that he wants none of

People here should probably get used to the idea the RoC thinks we’re rubes.

Not only does he put it out there, he dances on it
"It’s hilarious when people get triggered" sent me as we went from a broken man shouting what he really believes... to a Twitter troll happy to see all the frowning faces with his latest Tweet
That he's pairing up with Bernier says a lot to me too

I'm probably of both these opinions. Growing up I was a short kid, Fleury was my freaking hero. Just loved him and watching him play. So to see what he's become online these last few years, well I never followed him on twitter. It's just sad really.

Well in that case, the OP is a real moron. He starts a thread to talk about Fleury not being factual and conspiracy theories.. but then does the same thing by calling out an entire province.

Mostly meant as a tongue-in-cheek that hit much closer to home than I thought...
But from the outside, people like Kenney, Edmonton violence rn, and talk of seceding made me wonder how many Albertan's were sympathetic to people like Theo

I guess when you’re not from Alberta Twitter posts from ex NHLers really gets you going ! Here in Alberta we’re too busy worrying about real issues then the tweets of a former hockey player

I've always hated the Alberta digs in the past, but to be honest I think we should have the humility to take some lumps this year. We've been ****. Plus Split88 is a great poster and meant it lightheartedly. Everything seems more harsh/dry in text form.

Written terribly by me, as are most of my posts. Then piled on as I should have anticipated
So the joke was bad, but for a window to my brain: I had hoped for more of a 'yeah some people here are crazy!' and we chat about how disappointed we are in Theo. Reading it back, that was stupid of me.
Anyway, I'm not doing well and hadn't been to CP in a while - bad choice. Sorry for bringing my negative to everyone else's lives
Logging back off - have fun all. Sorry about that.
