Avery being Avery
Sean Avery, an NHL-playing fashionista who interned at Vogue this past summer, has dated many beautiful women, two of which are Rachel Hunter and Elisha Cuthbert (a noted hockey and hockey-player enthusiast). His ex’s are dating hockey players, and Avery asked why his peers are dating his sloppy seconds. The league has suspended him (and his team said they would have if the NHL didn’t). He’s been condemned by his own teammates.
His only support comes from those who don’t think that “sloppy seconds” is a derogatory term. Hockey players, from an early age, enjoy the company of “puck bunnies”. These women know what they are getting into, and they don’t care. Quite the opposite. While they may tolerate or somewhat enjoy the term “puck bunny”, no one wants to be called “sloppy seconds”. It’s more than crude, it is demeaning, something that those in power like to do, to those who have less power or influence.
This is yet another thing that we, as men, should have limited input of our opinion. We can have all the opinion we want, but the opinions that should mostly be heard are those that are most affected by the term, the victims and potential victims.
What I cannot believe is that Avery, who must have really ingratiated himself with the ladies at Vogue, would be so demeaning, in such a calculating and not off-hand way. And what I cannot believe more is that there will still be a long list of “puck bunnies” ready, willing, and for Sean Avery’s taking.
