Was it right or was it wrong? I personally don't believe he said anything that really wasn't true. All in all, Elisha is really nothing more than a highly paid groupie who happens to be in the public spotlight. She's bouncing in and outta beds like a superball. He just called it like it was. Was it classless. Yeah, but sometimes the truth is. Did it need the NHL to get involved? Nope, he didn't say anything that was racial or any of the 7 words you shouldn't say on TV. What would George Carlin say about this?
Something else that gets me is this whole role model crap. Professional Athletes shouldn't be role models anyway. If kids are watching sports to get their leadership skills that's where the big problem is.
Charles Barkley said it best:

"I don't believe professional athletes should be role models. I believe parents should be role models.... It's not like it was when I was growing up. My mom and my grandmother told me how it was going to be. If I didn't like it, they said, "Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out." Parents have to take better control

I'm not a role model. I am paid to wreak havok on the basketball court. Just because I dunk a basketball doesn't mean I should raise your kids.
