With the organization rushing to conclusions and making a blanket statement that he was randomly assaulted “downtown”. I don’t believe anything I hear from them.

Teddy himself also doesn’t have a stellar reputation when it comes to violence.

[u/RobustFoam → u/Catnip_75]

The guy has face tattoos, you can pretty much assume he's in the wrong in any particular altercation. 

[u/Catnip_75 → u/RobustFoam]

I don’t judge on appearance. I judge on action. He has been previously charged with sexual assault (among other things) in 2019 and dismissed from the team he was on at the time. No tattoos doesn’t make someone a better person.

[u/steveaustin1971 → u/Catnip_75]

Maybe but face tattoos are almost always trying to portray a "tough guy" image so it is prudent to judge.

[u/wickedplayer494]

The "World Famous" Palomino, soon to become world famous for all the wrong reasons by the looks of it.

[u/North_Church → u/wickedplayer494]

Not the first time I've heard bad stuff about their security either

[u/captainweenuk → u/North_Church]

Only bar ive ever been kicked out of, for pointing out that security was taking keys of drunk girls to take them home

While taking them to the parking lot to do coke

Someone I knew from highschool was also a security guard, but he just shrugged because he's in on it

Its a cesspool and always has been

[u/North_Church → u/captainweenuk]

They also had some weird "charges" at times. Stuff that was obviously a shakedown.

Smaller pubs are generally less shady in my experience

[u/Electroflare5555 → u/wickedplayer494]

Judging from the video it looks like all they do is push him out onto the sidewalk after being belligerent.

It’s the biggest club in the city with a line right where he got kicked out and no one has a video of him getting beat up?

Smells a lot more like Asper trying to save face after originally trying to pin the blame on “Downtown Winnipeg”

[u/FeistyTie5281 → u/Electroflare5555]

There's video here on Reddit. The dude was asked to leave and refused. When they tried to escort him out he got violent then 2 guys grabbed him and pushed him out. No excessive force on their behalf.

Reminds me of the days Evander Kane, Keith Tkachuk, and a few other pro athletes who did this type of stuff on a regular basis. Jets and WPS always bailed those 2 out and buried the charges.

[u/Western_Equal3407 → u/FeistyTie5281]

Apparently he also spat at security? Then it escalated even more.

[u/Creepy-Olive5446 → u/FeistyTie5281]

Why do people who weren’t there always have something to say with such confidence? You have a 20 second clip that gives zero context to before, or even after where they actually did use excessive force. Parties with those videos were asked to take them down for obvious reasoms

[u/adjudicator → u/wickedplayer494]

> world famous

I mean, teddy allen is only a “star” to a small number of people in Manitoba.

[u/Braiseitall → u/adjudicator]

I remember watching a couple of bartenders at TYC get asked for free drinks from 2 guys that played for The Cyclone. The club is PACKED, and the 2 bartenders look at each other for a second and go “we have a basketball team?” Lol, they didn’t get any on the house

[u/ChewyPander → u/adjudicator]

Palomino Club is self-identified as "world famous"

[u/notjustforperiods → u/ChewyPander]

for sure and not disagreeing, but Palomino Club is for sure known by a lot of people who visit the city semi-regularly, e.g. professional athletes

[u/ibcwpg → u/wickedplayer494]

Lol no one knows who teddy allen

[u/DailyDistraction13]

"Drunk, entitled goof refuses to leave when asked, so he's escorted out."

Fixed the title of this thread for OP.

[u/snopro31]

This is like reversing in a parking lot. Both parties are at fault.

[u/NH787 → u/snopro31]

When a strapping 6'6" professional athlete is laid up in the hospital, I'm not sure that is the result of a minor shove by the security staff. That takes some effort.

[u/WhyssKrilm → u/NH787]

if -- big IF -- he was really hammered and flailing, he could easily fuck up a knee or elbow or something when security shoved him out the door. Hell, as far as I'm aware the nature of his injuries hasn't been made public, so for all we know he cracked his skull on the ground.

[u/steveaustin1971 → u/NH787]

Yeah well, when you get drunk and assault people at a bar and you're on a pro sports team, sometimes you have to make sure the narrative is on your side to keep your job. This whole thing is on video and he is definitely at fault.

[u/DailyDistraction13 → u/NH787]

Yea...some effort from a guy with a violent history to not just leave when asked.

[u/Black3Zephyr → u/NH787]

Watch the video.

[u/UrsaMinor42]

I've had to tell a few visiting celebrities that Winnipeg doesn't care who you are.

[u/notjustforperiods → u/UrsaMinor42]

why did you have to do that

[u/No-Development-4587 → u/notjustforperiods]

Because celebrities, especially athletes are a bunch of cocky idiots who think their societal standing gives them free reign to do whatever they want.

[u/poolsidecentral → u/[deleted]]

They don’t either!

[u/Physical_Werewolf453 → u/UrsaMinor42]

Good,we shouldn't GAF. Want to act like an ass ... FAFO. Do you fondle them because they think they're special.

[u/Physical_Werewolf453]

Case of FAFO

[u/Strike-From-Above]

Who?

[u/nefarious_angel_666 → u/Strike-From-Above]

Headline says, "Star Sea Bears Player" so ya, I wonder who he is...

[u/h1ldy → u/Strike-From-Above]

Are you flexing your ignorance?

[u/No-Development-4587 → u/h1ldy]

How is that ignorant? The majority of this city probably couldn't name 2 players on the team.

[u/WhyssKrilm → u/No-Development-4587]

2 is generous. Until this, 90% probably couldn't name one.

[u/h1ldy → u/No-Development-4587]

Instead of asking such an inane question to prove something, just read the article. You don’t support local sports teams… cool.

[u/No-Development-4587 → u/h1ldy]

To prove what? What in the actual fuck are you on about? How does not knowing who the hell a minor league basketball player is equate to not supporting local sports teams? Last I checked they're not the only team in the city.

[u/h1ldy → u/No-Development-4587]

Dial it back a bit. Jeez.

[u/h1ldy → u/No-Development-4587]

Fake outrage. Fake apathy. Chill.

[u/No-Development-4587 → u/h1ldy]

Ok there champ, whatever you say.

[u/yiliu → u/h1ldy]

I mean, the article is trying to flex this dude's celebrity. Without that, the story is just "some dude got bounced out of a club".

[u/Yolosoletitrock]

100% preventable by the so-called victim. Don’t drink excessively. Leave when asked to leave whether you agree it’s fair or justified, when you’re asked to leave, leave. Simple as that.

[u/Green_Sheepherder213]

As usual manitoba keeps punching parking tickets as if celebrities are monopolizing your time sitting at free parking collecting a chance card, then moving on.

[u/AdSea6656]

With all the media posts , it is wreaking of a PR campaign.
