can-o-phish Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Okay, so we all know what Avery has done and now he's been indefinitely been suspended... But now the media, CBC, TSN, ESPN, CTV, etc keep on playing his "comment in bad taste" over and over...why? To grab attention for their networks!!! So who's disrespecting Elisha now?!?! CHEEE-RRRRIST ALMIGHTY, if it ain't a scandal it ain't worth talking about or so they would have us believe...

Guest Low Roller Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Today during the Habs game Ron McLean basically said that the media created Avery and should be blamed for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 And the Avery love-in begins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
can-o-phish Posted December 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 No, I'm not trying to start a "love-in", still kinda gagging on that thought, but yes Ron is seeing things from a realistic point of view and I'm sure Grapes wants to thump him in the locker room...Avery made a very disrespectful comment but now the media is using it to pull viewers, listeners, readers to "boost" their ratings by playing the clip over and over...For something to be "news worthy" it has to be a scandal...

ollie Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 That was more of a general comment about the way these things work... the backlash effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBigTime Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 The media exploits anything that will grab attention, but the media didn't create Avery... he's a prick, and that's why he is what he is...I hope the initial suspension is 5 games, and then his contract terminated by Dallas due to the "morality clause"... Avery may be spending Christmas in Russia, he belongs in a bush league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
