Bruins rescind contract because of behavior in middle school

[dlowilly]

Yes, I went to high school. NO ONE in my school did something fukkked up like that. We had guys that tried to bully other kids. Most of us on the football team handled that shit and made sure assholes didn't fukk with special needs kids. We would kick their ass if they even looked at a special needs kid the wrong way. You don't even do that shit in prison. There is a code.

This was in middle school. I never condoned it. You can’t get it right can you?

[ByeShea]

Absolutely there are plenty of them. That still doesn't excuse what miller did. You are missing that point. Miller is a POS. If you are going to go down that lane then you should call him on it and tell him too bad fukk you miller.

What you really are missing is that miller learned that at home and that's the problem to me and most normal people. He heard that stuff at home and took it outside. You missed that part. But it's OKAY you will NEVER get that part.

I don't get the anger here - were you the one who licked the popsicle?

Maybe you went to a Christian High School than Mack The Knife. We use to call them Speds back in the day, it was just the way of the world in the late 90's. I don't know if it was because everyone was miserable with their lives or what.

Did you go to grade/middle/high school in England or The States?
Were you a Teddy Boy type?

I split high school between England and Canada. Actually my dad was a Teddy Boy, and he got me into the Rocker subculture. Dont know if you've ever heard of the 59 Club?

Nice response I guess you are okay as long as your daughter isn't getting raped because the neighbors daughter did so no big deal.

[Goat Milk]

He was already charged with assault?

The kid deserves to be reprimanded, but stealing his future away is going too far. Maybe he needs to be reformed, but at some point he deserves another NHL opportunity. You can't end his entire future for something he was already charged for. In that case, no one who goes to prison should ever be able to get a job, ever, even if they did something at 17 yrs old and served 25 yrs for it.
Not surprised though. The next few generations -- I would be worried for all our kids to be honest. If they make one mistake, they are finished.

The strange part is most of the ppl who expose this kind of stuff online, they don't give a rat's ass about diversity and inclusion and fairness and all that. They get off on exposing someone. The ppl that stew these stories are more cold hearted than you have been led to believe.

We are all being conditioned, every single day, and our emotions are manipulated to the extreme.

I did some crazy shit when I was 14 too that my adult self would never agree with or even believe. People are capable of change.

Our society though? It's not capable of forgiveness.

[Kermit]

I read that the Bruins said that they would give him a shot if he apologized to the kid he once bullied, so he did, but the parents of the bullied kid(and the kid) didn't accept the apology because it wasn't genuine.

PackMan---
Thank you for the response.
I assumed the Teddy Boyesque bent due to your description of you and your friends'
less than honorable activities.

The 59 Club is new to me. Although, I have fond memories of Studio 54, The Continental Club. and Danceteria during the '70s.
The activities in the private rooms of the after-hours clubs were not to be repeated.

[dlowilly]

Where's his dad, what does he think about it?

[Mac4Lyfe]

letting pos adults across all sports literally get away with murder as long as it isn’t white on black.

If this is true, it shouldn't be hard for you to show me other examples of POS adults across all sports that have gotten away with murder...

[Kermit]

Where's his dad, what does he think about it?

I don't know about his real dad. He was adopted by white parents. His birth mother did drugs which led to his learning disabilities. At least that is what I read.

[Mac4Lyfe]

This was in middle school. I never condoned it. You can’t get it right can you?

Packerd said that there were psychos in his HS. You agreed with him. He asked the question if anyone went to HIGH SCHOOL. I responded, yes I went to HS and no one did that fukked up shit in HS, let alone MIDDLE SCHOOL. Do you somehow think it makes it better? What's up with you man? Just admit that you did sick shit like this in school and you thinks it's okay.

[dlowilly]

Obv there aren't a lot it's mostly rape, assault, etc. but there are some. Why do you even ask when you know I'm going to start with Ray Lewis, and all you can reply with is word salad?

[Mac4Lyfe]

Kermit - the mom said he never apologized to them. He completed a form for a court order document where he said he was sorry but never called them, wrote them an apology. The other boy went to their house to apologize. This kid is an ass and a dummy.

Awful situation and horrible behavior by Mitchell which I never said it wasn't. You might agree though that if pro sports were only played by men who were angels when they were 14 there wouldn't be many teams or at least it would be much lower quality.

[Mac4Lyfe]

WTF? first you said murder and all you have is Ray Lewis??? Was Lewis ever convicted of murder? This kid was convicted. If Lewis was convicted like this kid and still allowed to play, then I'd give you one. But you have NOTHING. Ray Lewis pleaded guilty to a fukking misdemeanor. Now what other cases? Rape, assaults, mostly rapes? What? Please show us the facts, not innuendos or hearsay. Facts.

Sports are not played by angels and many guys have made mistakes. I've already said and the NHL and the Bruins said he will get a 2nd chance. It's up to him. But if he hasn't even apologized for this and I haven't seen anywhere where he has then that's a big red flag. Own up to your shit first. I also still think there maybe more shit that he's done that hasn't hit the light of day.

That was when he was still a teenager.

This was before he got signed:

In a statement that accompanied his signing, Miller confessed that he had bullied his classmate, saying that he deeply regrets the incident and has apologized to the individual in question.

"Since the incident, I have come to better understand the far-reaching consequences of my actions that I failed to recognize and understand nearly seven years ago," Miller said. "... To be clear, what I did when I was 14 years old was wrong and unacceptable. There is no place in this world for being disrespectful to others and I pledge to use this opportunity to speak out against mistreating others."

[Mac4Lyfe]

I went to one of the toughest inner city public schools in Cleveland Ohio. It wasn't called bullying when I grew up. You just got your ass kicked. You didn't pick on anyone unless you were waiting to get jacked in the cafeteria or after school. Most guys who thought they were the shit had to get their asses kicked to come down to size. You learned to respect everyone because you weren't all that yourself. A lot of kids today need a good ass whipping. But picking on special ed kids, making them lick shit. Guys who did that shit got their ass kicked often in our school. Same if you ever tried to sexually abuse a girl. Grab a girls ass, titties, etc., you got your teeth kicked in.

[dlowilly]

Um, no he wasn't, thus the term "literally got away with murder". Done with you in this thread man. Don't hate you or anything, it just gets old you throwing it against the wall and me taking the time to clean it up.

[Kermit]

I think the kid was a douchebag as well, but I cannot see ruining the man's life now for poor decisions he made when he was a child.

I mean, isn't this something that we constantly hear people preach about when criminals get out of prison and want to join the workforce? "They did their time and paid their debt to society"

Kermit - he came out with that statement prior to being signed recently. Unfortunately the part where he said he apologized to the individual in question was a lie. He never did. He never called and spoke to the kid or the mom in all those years. He never told them he was sorry. Then he writes a bullshit letter when it came to light. That probably pissed off the Bruin players more. Dude is a psychopath.

It really gets old when you are going to tell me that a DA accepted a misdemeanor plea deal and Lewis was never, ever even went to trial for murder. He didn't have to get away with it because he was never accused. Now, OJ getting away with murder, I'll give you but are you really serious that all you have is Ray Lewis who was never even on trial for murder?

But you doubled down on how SO MANY other athletes are doing worse shit and you have not produced shit. You have this fantasy in your own mind that all these athletes are getting away with murder while this poor kid got targeted by the woke boogey man. LOL Yes, you should be done with me in this thread because you have nothing of substance or fact. It's sad man.

Actually he got drafted by the Coyotes in 2020 and after his past actions came to light, his draft status was revoked. You would think that after this happened 2 years ago that he would have met with this family and made peace.

I don't know if he is a "Psychopath" but he certainly is stupid.

Arizona Coyotes top draft pick was convicted for bullying Black teen with disabilities

It was just 3 years ago and it was a daily occurrence. You say you don't see ruining the mans life, but it was he himself that ruined his opportunity by being a dick. The NHL is a privildge. He gave up his right by doing what he did and will be at the mercy of that league to let him join if ever. He can work at the post office. Well actually, maybe not but that is his wrongdoing.

I'm also reading where he not only lied about the apology but he lied about working with charities that came out and said he was not. Plus he told people he was the real victim. You're usually the resident detective. Get us the real scoop here Kermit.

No it wasn't. The kid was charged when he was 14. He is 20 now.

[Mac4Lyfe]

I read something that said he just turned 18. A lot of sketchy shit out there. His Wiki says the following. Sounds like he was doing this for a very long time and the apology piece is fukked up if he thinks just by the letter being read in court that that would suffice.

reiterating that Miller has not apologized to the family, and detailing further accusations about Miller's behavior, starting as early as 1st grade.^[22][23] Miller maintains that his court-mandated apology letter was read to the Meyer-Crothers family.^[24]

He got drafted by the Coyotes when he was 18 in 2020.

[TheGoldenGoose]

Fukk this kid and Fukk the Bruins too.

There is NO PLACE for Bullying ANYWHERE at ANY age!!!

Kid from my home town was drafted by the Atlanta Braves as a pitcher. One year later he was caught and convicted of stealing $50 worth of goods. The Atlanta Braves terminated the relationship immediately. That's what the Bruins or any other sports organization should do also. The kid is a Rotten Apple. And I don't care if it "ruins his adulthood". There are CONSEQUENSES to your actions in life at any age.

If this kid wants to play in the NHL then AT THE VERY LEAST they should make him do some community service.

[TheGoldenGoose]

Yes, I went to high school. NO ONE in my school did something fukkked up like that. We had guys that tried to bully other kids. Most of us on the football team handled that shit and made sure assholes didn't fukk with special needs kids. We would kick their ass if they even looked at a special needs kid the wrong way. You don't even do that shit in prison. There is a code.

Thank you. I just awarded 95 bet points to put you at 10,000.

When my special needs son was in High School the QB & Captain gave up his study hall to work with our son every day. Tyler Murphy went to the Florida Gaters where injuries at QB valted him into the starting role.

From Wikipedia... Tyler Murphy was unknown, but quickly became popular as he led Florida in a 31–17 win over Tennessee. Murphy then became the starting quarterback, and lead the Gators to a 24–7 win over Kentucky and a 30–10 victory against the Arkansas Razorbacks. After initial success, the Florida Gators lost their final seven games of the 2013 season.

Although initially he went undrafted by the NFL, the Steelers signed him from the usigned free agent list and began to play him at WR. Injuries cut short his professional career but we continue to keep in touch with Tyler because he is a fantastic human being.

This is what happens to GOOD people. Good things happen to GOOD people.

[TheGoldenGoose]

There are much better pictures of Tyler Murphy and if I have time to post them I'll do so.

I read that the Bruins said that they would give him a shot if he apologized to the kid he once bullied, so he did, but the parents of the bullied kid(and the kid) didn't accept the apology because it wasn't genuine.

It wasn't just bullying. He was convicted of some sort of crime and the victims mother claims that the judge said Miller showed no remorse.

If my kid was the victim I would be going scorched earth on the Bruins thinking an Instagram message six years later would make it right too.


Most things we do at 14 we should be given a 2nd chance for, but Miller sounds like he did it for many years before 14 and still thinks the same way.


What about that black kid recently posted about who was disrespecting his gym teacher and the school cop was called to arrest him? Would you be upset if a sports team said no-thanks to hiring him based on that viral video in a few years time?

A couple of you posting here to say this is just woke culture were in that thread saying the black kid is obviously an animal (your fave word in threads about black people) and deserved what he got.

[teacher10]

Wow!! I'm baffled in how some people can form a sentence but can't realize what this kid did when he was 14 was f'ed up. How is this even related to woke culture? His apology was not sincere therefore his punishment needs to continue. I wouldn't want him to represent my company either.
