Sounds like more trouble with the Fireantz. It has been a bad year on the ice so far and sounds like things are really bad off the ice too.

This is a bad move by the newspaper. Its a bad idea to write about these minor crimes when it could seriously hurt the health of the franchise. The insignificant actions of two players is not worth damaging a local sports franchise that provides a good chunk of newspaper content. Local sports is one of the only reasons people buy newspapers any more. If the Fireantz lose fans, the newspaper loses readers.
Oh and good luck getting good interviews from the players now.

Kill the messenger
So the newspaper shouldn't report an arrest of a player because it will hurt the team. Did the players think about the welfare of the team when they were allegedly doing coke? For that matter, since it was reported one of the people arrested was a soldier, should the arrest not be reported because it could hurt the U.S. Army?
Sorry folks, but a newspaper's job is to report the news -- good, bad or indifferent. If you want fluff, there's plenty of places to find it.
BTW Hockey, they weren't charged with a minor crime, they were charged with felony possession. (If you want to argue the fairness of drug laws, that's a different debate). I'll bet the rest of the team still talks to the paper. They are probably pretty angry about the incident, but I'll bet are more angry at their teammates than anything the paper wrote about it.
One last thought, cocaine is so 1970s and 1980s. They might want to update their drugs.
