In the heat of the moment (do you remember when we used to dance?) things are oft said. I highly doubt that Simmonds craftily chose his word because of Avery's activism. Unfortunately, it's probably a phrase that gets uttered on every hockey bench, and something Wayne unleashed without a second thought.

However, the world is changing - and as Q has elegantly stated, professional athletes are held to a higher standard. And they should be. There seems to be a mentality that one form of hate speech is worse than the other, but they all have the same outlying effect. Bottom line, it's a word that shouldn't be used - especially in today's world. People could get away with feigning ignorance ten to twenty years ago, but not in 2011.

Simmonds should be fined. Losing a portion of a paycheck will probably have little impact on his feelings - but if it gets him to think twice about using the word, then it's a start.

Well said.

For the record, I don't like it when men use the word "woman" and the like as an insult. If we're so weak and fucking despicable than you guys can suck your own dicks.

Fined?!?!?! This word is probably used about 700 times a game. The day they start censoring hockey (after airing an uncensored show such as 24/7), the sport will begin it's demise.

It's not that outrageous. He used a slur. There is already precedent for this among the other professional sports.

Wait.. WHAT???

First of all, I don't know who this Simmons is.

Second, how could Avery fighting Simmonds take away from what Wayne said?

Offended gay person: Simmonds called Avery a faggot, then proceeded to kick his ass. Well I certainly feel better about that situation.

Second offended gay person: Me too!!! Isn't Wayne Simmonds awesome!?!?! What was all the fuss about?

First guy: Want to go to a Flyers game?

If you wear a dress that's your problem not mine. If Avery isnt such a pussy you nor any of the public wouldnt even know what was said on the ice. and if your so offended by what SIMMONDS said why arent you so offended that Avery said he ws going to kill someone?

I'm sorry, there is no place for censorship in sports during the game.

If our media wants to cry about, keep the mics away from the players. I don't like that idea, but it will get rid of the problem.
