Tie Domi is Making Me Sad

He acted like a huge bully when he tried to force his wife into accepting a divorce settlement without consulting an attorney.  That blew up in his face when she came out swinging with an attorney who is probably tougher than Tie.  Every time he tried to pull something, they fired back with more crappy things that he’d done.  Then, a few days ago he acted like a huge jerk at his son’s hockey game, cussing out the coach after the game.  And now, he’s threatening to sue the coach for damaging his reputation.  Holy crap, Tie, just keep your damned mouth shut and get some anger management.  You’re damaging your own reputation.  In less than six months you’ve gone from being my favorite player and someone whose name I would’ve happily worn on the back of my Leafs jersey (which I luckily never had enough money to buy…although, I do have a Domi Leafs t-shirt) to the schoolyard bully who I’m embarrassed to say that I liked, even before I met your impersonator.  You know what, let your impersonator take over.  Honestly, even though he was a jerk for impersonating you and Leanne, he presented a MUCH better public face than you do.  He wrote a better email, he was more interesting, he was nicer to your (ex)wife, and I’m sure he never would’ve yelled at your kid’s coach.  As the child and sister of baseball/softball coaches, I can tell you that in my experience with people who yell at coaches…they’re almost all assholes.  They ruin the games for their kid, their spouse, the other kids, the coaches, and all of the other fans in the stands who have to listen to their garbage.  I’ve rarely been to a baseball game where there wasn’t at least one of those obnoxious parents in the stands.  I’ve often wished a heart attack on one of those red-faced screaming jerky parents.  They ruin the whole experience for everyone.  So, Tie, sit down and shut up.  Maybe go back to spending time with your charities, because if you don’t, your financial future is dim.  You’re not a very good commentator, your athletic career is done, so you’d better start behaving like a decent human being, because there’s no life off the ice for an enforcer.  No one wants to hire a bully.  You got paid very well for being one, but welcome to the real world - you don’t get to be paid millions of dollars for threatening people.  Those people, they end up in prison.
