Un-fuckin-believeable. But hey, you are correct, the moment douchebag (Niedermayer) attempted to do this it was a FAIL! And I blame him for the ensueing asshole behavior.
Nice jesture, don't get me wrong, but this is an areana (sports in general) where grown adults can and sometimes do act like 5 year olds.
His opinion is that sports figures shouldn't give items directly to fans, and if fans act like morons in the process, it's the player's fault.
Life is filled with responsibilities, people may not like the fact they have to or are forced into taking them on, but none-the-less they do exist.
My opinionated view may not be liked, but these incidents of fans behavior have not been considered isolated for years now. Its always best to error on the side of caution. I take stock of his gesture, and even stated such, it was a very nice gesture. My underlying headshaking that I do through my words is to the fact that there is a way to do it while minimizing the potential for situations like this to surface.
I have been to plenty of sporting events and in every case where a fan was to receive a momento from one of the participants through security, this never happened. It is what it is.
