Fleury is a friggin joke. I'll never have any sympathy for him or what he's done to himself. It's 100% his own fault.
:twisted:
Yeah...it sure was his fault that his Junior hockey coach was f*cking him in the ass for all those years under his watch...you're a friggin idiot tiger. I can't say that Theo has handled his sexual abuse well, and by no means is he the only one to have suffered this tragedy...but it's certainly not 100% his fault as you so eloquently put it....you can be a real tit sometimes!!!

When did this news come out? I honestly never heard of Theo Fleury being abused by his junior coach. Sheldon Kennedy I heard of, but not Fleury. Get a grip and stop making excuses for Fleury. He has come out and said he was never abused in junior hockey.
Yes he has "said" that he was never abused but both he and Sheldon were teammates during the same years Graham James coached them...it has been known for years that 2 players were abused during that time period. Theo's abuse is probably the worst kept secret in hockey...but instead of bringing it to the forefront like Sheldon did, Theo tried to compartmentalize it, and deal with it in his own way, that obviously hasn't worked out too well for him, has it? I'm not trying to make excuses for him, infact I can't say that I agree with any of his antics and outbursts...but to say he's 100% at fault is wrong. I guess that if you didn't know about this story then it's a little different for you...but now you know.
