Sean Avery: Do We Care?

I’ve tried really hard to become interested in Sean Avery and the recent drama surrounding him. The whole thing has all the elements of a good spectacle: trash talk, celebrities, pretty people saying/doing ugly things. But there’s one thing that keeps me from caring: sports. Every time I get into a story about this guy and his troubles, somebody starts throwing out words like “hockey” and “scores” and “NHL” and my mind wanders far, far away. That said, Avery does make some interesting style choices, such as the sunglasses you see here. What do y’all think? Is he a fashion-forward trend setter or an attention-seeking jerk? I would state my opinion, but it would be based entirely on this photograph, and I just don’t think that’s fair. (Photo credit: AP/Frank Franklin II)
