sabrefanday1 Posted March 15, 2023 Report Posted March 15, 2023 Just watched this and being disabled myself find this behaviour so disturbing.

Weave Posted March 15, 2023 Report Posted March 15, 2023 I saw the vid elsewhere. That was Danny’s kid? I didn’t see any names attached to the video I saw. Damn, kid. You are gonna receive a whirlwind of ***** and rightfully so it seems.
Night Train Posted March 15, 2023 Report Posted March 15, 2023 Bizarre. Who's chair was it ?? Seems like a lot is missing from this story and being disabled myself, I'm NOT defending him. 1 1

Seems like a lot is missing from this story and being disabled myself, I'm NOT defending him. If you read the whole story it belonged to a disabled fellow who was at the bar and apparently the bar was not wheelchair accessible and washrooms were down bottom of the stairs so his friend actually carried him down the stairs so the disabled fellow could use the bathroom. They left the wheelchair at the top of the stairs and put out of the way so when they returnhed it would be there. 3

In the article I read, he admitted to partying too much and not focusing on hockey. I guess he didn’t learn from the first violation.

His lack of maturity was exhibited in Arizona and also on cruel display in the eastern part of the country. A punk is a punk regardless of where you are at. @nfreeman was potently succinct with the word that best describes this incident: Disgraceful. 4 1
Quint Posted March 15, 2023 Report Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) Maybe he models himself on Tommy Udo. Not sure why this makes me laugh. There must be something wrong with me. 🤪 Edited March 15, 2023 by Quint 1
Zamboni Posted March 15, 2023 Report Posted March 15, 2023 Boot him out of the program. Kid is dense and lacks empathy. 2 1
That Aud Smell Posted March 15, 2023 Report Posted March 15, 2023 Danny Briere: Fantastic hockey player. His chops as a dad are … not as clear.

I can't exactly comment on his parenting when his son is no longer at home and is in college. I doubt Danny told his son that partying > hockey and pushing wheelchairs down stair cases is ok. At minimum he needs to be suspended and required to pay for the repairs. 1

I know a few people who are terrific people and good parents, and yet their kids turned out like shiiiii … and I know a few people who are really good people, and their parents are complete trash and terrible. and I’m sure I’m not the only one that has had those experiences. 1 5
Wyldnwoody44 Posted March 15, 2023 Report Posted March 15, 2023 He clearly didn't learn his lesson in Arizona... Time to stop playing hockey. I've always said athletes should be held to a higher standard, sadly it's usually that they get away with more than the general public. Granted, he's not a "role model" yet, but it appears he shouldn't get the chance to be one.
Scottysabres Posted March 15, 2023 Report Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) Not a nice thing to do. I saw the apology by both the kid and Danny. A little reflection time on how to be a decent human being, and I'm sure mum and pops are all over him about it. We all do stupid things as a kid. Edited March 15, 2023 by Scottysabres 2
matter2003 Posted March 15, 2023 Report Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) I don't consider that "disturbing". Disturbing to me would be if he pushed it down the stairs with someone in it. That would be pretty disturbing. This is simply some young, immature kid doing something stupid that he will look back on 5 years from now and think "What the hell was I doing??"

Hank Posted March 15, 2023 Report Posted March 15, 2023 At 23 years old he's his own man, I don’t see it as a reflection on Danny's parenting skills. YMMV. 1
shrader Posted March 15, 2023 Report Posted March 15, 2023 Is it bad that the ending of Naked Gun immediately popped into mind? 1
LabattBlue Posted March 15, 2023 Report Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) Sad. I know I did some stupid things when I was in my early 20’s, but not respecting the handicapped was not one of them. Edited March 16, 2023 by LabattBlue 1 1

When I hear disturbing is regards to video, I think violence. 2
