Joe Corvo is a scumbag and now he's a Boston Bruin. There's no other way to put it. 9 years ago he punched a woman in the face and kicked her repeatedly when she was down, including in the head. Apparently he grabbed this woman's ass earlier in the night and was tossed from the bar. He had to come back and be a tough guy and kick her ass this time. There's been whispers that the woman was a transexual which should not make a difference if those rumors are true. That would just make it a hate crime.
I believe in rehabilitation and maturation and like I said, this was 9 years ago. If you hit a woman it shows your true colors and I will always think this guy is a dirt ball. On top of that, he only got 3 years suspended sentence and 30 hours of community service, which he spent signing autographs.
I know there's a lot of athletes out there that have criminal records. If signing a player was based on morals/off field behavior, a lot of current players would not have a job. In this case it's hard to root for this guy just as a hockey player instead of a classless human being. I wish him nothing but the worst in Boston and this is coming from a Bruins fan.
Well there's at least one gay man on most rosters. If he's too much of a hick to live peacefully with transexuals, he shouldn't go to gay bars. Straight bars don't employ transexual waitresses.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I could really find on the subject was that it may have been a transexual and that's why the punishment wasn't too heavy. Like I said, it's rumors and hearsay. Either way it was an atrocious act and now it's stained on his NHL career.
