Sean Avery Certainly Admires a Nice Purse
Sean Avery has a new group of gay friends in Dallas, but he doesn't play for their team.
Says Avery, who recently relocated to play with the Dallas Stars: "I think it's the cardinal rule of athletes that if you're not married by the time you're 30, you're all of a sudden, definitely gay. It's just the narrow-mindedness of sports which is probably the one thing that turns me off about it."
Avery also used to steal dolls from his babysitters, so it's really no surprise that "the most hated man in hockey" grew up to be a Vogue intern, according to a new ESPN mini-doc.

Seems like someone I could chill with, but that jacket does not "work" at all. The gorilla coat is too mid-90's raver.

Aves is awesome on and off the ice. If he marketed the NHL, there would be no stopping its growth!

This is actually one of the more interesting hockey profiles that I've read. I think he's totally right about Bettman not knowing how to market the NHL properly.

Sean Avery strikes me as very odd. There is something wrong with this picture.

Sean Avery is a canadian boy from Ontario, now playing in the big leagues. Up here we like to wear our socks and with our sandals so it is refreshing to see him "style it up".
In all seriousness, I find this profile fascinating. He certainly breaks the mold. He is not a large hockey player yet he is THE most despised agitator on the ice.
I don't agree that he would be a fabulous marketer for the NHL. In addition to his physical style of play he has a penchant for running off at the mouth. He has uttered racial/ethnic slurs that have got him into a bit of trouble. Although I don't agree with the name-calling, it is obvious that he knows exactly what he is doing and is prepared to suffer the consequences.
He started his hockey career in Detroit, then moved to Los Angeles and New York City. I wonder how he will like the fashion in Dallas?

just what is it about butch men that thrills us.. thrills me to the very core... that hyper masculinity... deep baritone voice, the gestures.. the manliness.. the smell yes the smell of man... whenever i see one, my heart goes klang klang klang like judy garland's trolley... zing, went the strings of my heart... ah yes, butch men... i love them so... the object of so many fantasies and my deepest and most profound desires....

Gay, just won't admit it.

Hal, male sexuality is not an either/or proposition. Learn the history of the 18th/19th century naval and whaling crews--it was not for nothing that the Royal Navy was tagged with the slogan "Rum, Sodomy and the Lash".
Nonetheless, once they finally returned to port, farmers wives & daughters still had to be locked up for safety. Men can and do have different ways of dealing with their sex drive depending upon the immediate circumstances.
As a well paid athlete, Avery can and will get plenty of female Bimbo/Gold-digger attention. In a homophobic sport he couldn't survive with his gay friendly attitude except as a bully-boy roughneck, at least on the ice. I think he is best described as simply "sexual" if you must use labels.

One look at that closet and I'd believe without hesitation that he's arrow-straight - those shoe-shelves are a nightmare! Miss Crawford would not approve.

JACK H said: "Men can and do have different ways of dealing with their sex drive depending upon the immediate circumstances."
this is very true -- a fact which i can attest to on the basis of my own experiences with many, many, many men.
for example, i once was in a cheap mexican bar* and was talking to this quite hunky potential piece of ass when this woman walked in. he looked over and told me that he knew the woman so he would have to go over and talk to her. and so ended our conversation. otherwise, i'm sure i would eventually have taken him to the nearby baths (my m.o. whenever i came across a nice piece of trade)
*no, not a bar for cheap mexicans - but a cheap bar for mexicans (i feel i must forever provide footnotes for fear of being misconstrued which happens all the time around here!!)

Sorry, but I just don't buy into it. Closet cases who put one foot out into Vogue. You call it variation, I call it compensation.
