I’ve been mulling creating an on-going segment issuing something I call the Douchetard pick of the week. The problem is there are so many to choose from I quickly lose interest and just as promptly ignore a case ever happened. I mean, the NFL alone would have me working OT.
Still, I figured I should give it a shot and was able to pick out a winner. Without further ado, I present the NHLPA as the proud recepients of the Douchetard (s) award for this week (or month).
Congratulations.
So why pick them? I was reading how the NHLPA decided to change the name of the Lester B. Pearson award to the Ted Lindsay award. While I’m not against having an award named after Lindsay (although Gordie Howe doesn’t have one), does it have to come at the expense of one that’s been around for around four decades?
What made me settled on the NHLPA was because of the secrecy to which they conducted their business. No explanation – any explanation – was forthcoming from them. To me that’s not cool. If you’re going to do something like this it may not be a bad idea to fricken have the balls to be open about it.
Hence, the NHLPA are douchetards for acting like the KGB or CIA.
