The bad news for Corey Perry is that he's so universally disliked that a significant amount of average, everyday schlubs are willing to bust out their credit cards on behalf of a professional athlete that - all things considered - deserved a far bigger fine for a play so scummy that it managed to turn the NHL's preeminent instigator into a victim. Fortunately, the good news for Corey Perry is that I'm pretty sure that's exactly what he strives for. I mean, I guess he could do without having 20 stitches and the bloody outline of a butt-end in the middle of his mug, but when there's very few lows you won't stoop to in an effort to become the league's most notorious dickhead, you kind of lose the ability to ever take the moral high ground. So, honestly, he should wear that scar like a badge of honor, and take some sort of maniacal pleasure in the fact that he has done such a good job of getting people to hate him that there are literally charitable endeavors dedicated to his demise. Sure, he took one on the chin, but sometimes that's what you got to do to get under people's skin. No one should know that better than the guy that just reset the bar of what it takes to be a successful son of a bitch by putting people in the Christmas spirit with nothing more than the sight of his lacerated face. Usually people have to like you for you to ultimately be the impetus behind them opening their wallet, but to indirectly promote philanthropy by way of endless spite? That's a whole new level of asshole.
