    Makes sense. Many people said they saw him out getting hammered before games for years.

    So, it really sounds like he just got drunk and did something stupid.

    If that’s all he did, wow this circus and pony show the Chicago Blackhawks put him through is disgusting. They made it seem like the guy killed someone or something. Now it’s looking like he got drunk in front of a few corporate sponsors before a game.

    Typical Chicago organization, cut the alcoholic, shame him in the media, and let rumors spread like wildfire.

    Probably the end of his hockey career, but Perry has millions in the bank and can get help…. Hope he does. Everybody’s been there, most of us just aren’t rich and having to do this out in the public eye.

    “I’m sorry.”

    “Sorry for what?”

    “I can’t say. Please forgive me.”

    Good for him for acknowledging he has some sort of drug/alcohol problem, and indicating he intends to get help. But without being transparent about his actions is he really taking responsibility for them?

    Same goes for the Shane Pinto situation.

    Alcoholism is a disease and not enough to cancel his contract. He did more than just get loaded.

    I never thought alcoholism was that bad until I had to with someone who suffered with it. Refusing to get help, being violent and erratic. Some people just aren’t meant to drink..

    Perry got drunk at a team function and grabbed the butt of a female employee. The incident was reported by a third party.

    He’ll be back on a team but in light of the Blackhawks recent history, it’s no surprise that they’re dropping him.

    I can’t stand Corey Perry as a player but this statement had one thing most statements from professional athletes don’t. That’s admission of guilt, he acknowledged it was his actions. There was no blaming on substance abuse he simply said he had started working with professionals on his issues. there was no beating around the bush. As far as statements go this is the best I’ve seen in awhile, I don’t like Corey Perry but I have some respect for him after this statement.

    I’m thinking this could be like a German situation where he got drunk at a team event or in the locker room

    So he probably got black out wasted, and did something ridiculous. Wonder what that was, no telling though. Could have been belligerent and tried to walk around picking fights with corporate sponsor reps (lol), got naked and ran around the room, who knows. If he wasn’t such a chud on the ice I might have sympathy 🤷‍♂️

    “Hey ChatGPT, write an apology as an alcoholic without being specific”.

    Admittedly this is a lot more sad than the rumors that were floating around. Hope that employee is safe and I hope that Perry gets the help he needs, addiction sucks

  12. Unabatedtuna

    “I did not have sexual relations with that woman”

    Jokes aside, I hope he can get the help he needs. Addiction sucks

    An 18 y.o. boy and his family received a huge stream of derogatory jokes only because the Chicago Blackhawks organization did not immediately say the reason for Corrie Perry’s suspension.

  14. sidiculouz

    His career may be over but regardless I hope he gets help for this disease

  15. Double_Reward230

    Well I hope he gets the help he needs! It’s not an easy battle but he can do it!

    It’s an accepted way to say you got too shit faced on free booze

  17. dickiefrisbee

    Meanwhile there’s a tiktok with a million likes on it claiming he boned Bedard’s mom.

    If it is truly alcoholism, then I can relate. I denied I was an alcoholic for years, until I realized I spent $400 to $500 a month on alcohol.

    I could t do any activity unless I was drinking. It’s worse than smoking. I hope to one day overcome my issue.

    EDIT: while typing this I realized I had three beers left and mentAlly thought about going and getting another 12 pack for $16. Just so I could have fun. It’s a disease.

    Whatever he did was probably common practice when he first came into the league. Different times now

  20. Youtubers should learn from Perry how to make an apology.

  21. Consistent_Bet811

    Ok….. so what did he do though? lol told someone to fuck off while drunk? Hit on a big wigs wife? Pulled his dick out? What happened

  22. Bobo_Baggins03x

    Why can’t the blackhawks be forthcoming with literally anything?

  23. malcontented

    Guessing taking a dump in a semi public setting is somehow involved here 🍹🍺🍻 🤢🤮💩
