Deebo said:If they had decided on Matthews and don't end up naming a captain this summer as a result of the incident, it suggests they didn't either know about it or knew about it and only decided against naming him captain because it became public. Both of those things aren't a good look for the organization.
I would think either have to name Matthews captain or give it to someone else because they have already said they are going to have a captain this year.

I think if the plan was to give it to Matthews they still will, they just won't do it right away. You don't want to be seen as condoning this behaviour let alone reward it.Plus then you can say he's proven his maturity over such and such time.

I think you're right. They've never set a timetable on the captaincy and could let it go into the season. Still sucks though I'm sure they wanted to do it for game 1
Deebo said:I think public perception is that they had decided on naming a captain prior to the season, even if they deny that, I don't think people will buy it.
So now if they don't do it, like I suggested above, it looks like either didn't know about the incident or only decided to delay naming a captain because it became public.

It is amazing this hasn't surfaced until now.

I feel like there's a middle ground between "This group of drunken d-bags were hilarious" and "Auston Matthews should answer for the malignant influence of the patriarchy".

I think there should be a few game suspension potentially, but I don't want him to be suspended for completely selfish reasons.
It's a pretty shitty thing he did though.
