They’re grown ass men. Professional hockey players. Honestly, poster boys for submissives too.

Listening to mic'd up players during games, you'll hear it quite often as in "C'mon, boys, let's go!" or other phrases encouraging better play.

Yes, these are adult men. Whether men or boys, nothing excuses the bad behaviour.

"boys" in many areas to excuse horrible behaviour, often sexual. We have all seen it. "boys will be boys". . One glaring example that I noticed years ago was about the murdering menendez brothers, referred to frequently as "boys", when they were, in fact, adults.

Uday and Qusay as kids or diminutive young references.
None are kids. They are all grown and responsible for their actions.
They make it sound as if they would get sent to Juvey if arrested.
They all need to experience the REAL world!
