Gordon knew what would’ve happened to Banks if he remained a Hawk. He saw himself in him. Saw the potential for self hate. The loss of potential. He saw how far some Hawks will go when they injured him. Banks truly understood at that point what he was saved from.
You may have had something special and amazing such as big money and a big lifestyle but when u suffer a draw back in life you realize life before fame and money was a better life
What Mr. Banks and Coach Riley attempted to do was extremely wrong! Especially for Adam, and I feel a bit sorry for the kids on District V (later named the Ducks).
Yeah. Seems like they, along with Adam, have been cheated out of their dignity season after season. No wonder Gordon was named the Minnesota Miracle Man.
Fun Fact despite I have an Nevada Wolf Pack for my Icon I live in Oregon and their main university is the Ducks so when I see an Oregon Ducks shirt I start to quack
Because the one condition that the league gave was that Gordon drop his protest. Gordon refused to do so. In other words, Gordon lost his job over Adam Banks being on the Ducks.
@@matthewhipps6547 The league was doing it as a favour to Ducksworth, Coach Reilly, and Mr. Banks. Bombay's protest would've put a halt to the season of the league's best team too.
I always wondered just how wealthy Gordon was I mean he was a lawyer after all he had to be making some money. Especially if his career was going so well he never lost. I wonder if he had funded the team himself he wouldn't need Ducksworth, and his job couldn't be hung over him like a carrot on a string.
@@matthewhipps6547 my guess is, if Gordon had gone along quietly, none of this would've been brought to light. But with Gordon making a stink, the league would be hard pressed for a logical explanation as to why they're all of a sudden redrafting district lines for one rich kid. Cheating is best done in subtlety
Gordon gets fired because he’s so clearly in the right and it’s embarrassing to Ducksworth. Trying to pass it off like just “some kids, some game.” They are the one’s making a big deal out of it. Gordon calling that out was not exactly the most tactful thing he could have done (“you cut a deal with the peewee hockey league?”; “are you willing to fire me over ‘some kids, some game’”). But that’s who his character is so it works well. Either way, he couldn’t let himself get bullied by the Hawks coach, and bringing Gordon’s law job into it was clearly an attempt to bully him
yeah but the DUI was plenty of cause (but it was probably at-will employment anyway) I think it is being implied that Banks’s wealthy dad is a client, too. So Gordon rejecting a request to appease him would be upsetting to Ducksworth. That said, Banks’s dad ends up appearing to be OK with the decision in the end (and his son actually likes Gordon), so that probably would smooth things out in the end (if Gordon needed a referral or at least for all parties to make some amends)
What Mr. Ducksworth, Coach Reilly, and Mr. Banks doing to the pee wee hockey league is so wrong by convincing or bribing them. That's when Gordon comes in and discovers the truth (that's corruption).
listen i know its just a movie, but never EVER in the history of Hockey has any human-being cut a deal with the Pee-Wee Hockey League. That’s just plain unbelievable, i cannot suspend my disbelief.
@@danedefense2046Gordon should have pressed charges against Ducksworth for that. He for sure would have won the case and walked away with a big fat paycheck.
@@davidkruse4030 Been to plenty. I guess where im from people have lives and dont take pee wee too seriously thank god. I would be embarrassed to all ends if i had to admit i knew someone like banks father. We have over involved parents here and there but at the end of the day they arent pulling deals and getting involved like that hahaha.
@@ReginaldForman Some parents view the success of their children as 100% indicative of themselves. They live 100% vicariously through their children. This happens in sports, ballet, academics, etc. There are parents out there who will manipulate, cheat, conspire, and do whatever it takes if it means their child is put in the most successful and prestigious situations. Because it makes the parent look good. This is why things like the Lori Loughlin situation happen. I played minor hockey in Canada, and there would be parents giving coaches bribes if it meant the coach picked their son for the team or gave their son the most ice-time.
That probably explains why Gordon refuses to go back to Ducksworth in the sequel, as Duckworth might still be bitter and inflict an humiliation on him before letting him back, like how Mr. Burns did to Homer Simpson.
He's mentioned in the second film when Jan asks Gordon, "Did you talk to Ducksworth?" Gordon says he's a player, not a lawyer. Ducksworth probably would've taken Gordon back since Banks won the championship with the Ducks, but then of course there'd be no movie.
@@ryanloftis1125 Yeah. I mean Adam's father was glad that Adam was both alright after getting hurt and that he was happy playing on the Ducks, so I guess after that, Ducksworth apologized to Gordon and they were on good enough terms that Gordon probably could've called him for help and gotten it in the process.

I don’t think what they wanted was that unreasonable. Now unless they knew beforehand and were intentionally subverting the rules from the beginning, I don’t see how Adam Banks couldn’t finish the season with the Hawks. I may be in the minority here, but that’s just the agenda of the movie. But Adam Banks started the season with the Hawks, his friends are on the team, this is all he has known. So what Bombay said made no sense to his case- “a team is something you belong to”. Adam Banks felt a belonging to the Hawks. And now he has to play on a team with a bunch of kids he doesn’t know. The only thing that was unreasonable was that they wanted to redraw the lines for the next season. I think the fair compromise would be that Adam finishes the season with the Hawks and then plays for the Ducks in the next season. No lines redrawn. If Adam’s father wants him to play for the Hawks so badly, then he needs to move into the district. That’s how it works.
It's a movie. Remember that. The league rules go that you play for the teams lines that you're in. Now as far as what you said, yes if in real that's probably what the league would do. But it's a movie. So of course it's not going to make sense.
Exactly. The Banks family must move to another district if it wants Adam to play for the Hawks. As much as he (Adam) finds belonging to the Hawks because that's where his brothers played. That shouldn't have happened to begin with. Even then, Adam's older brothers shouldn't have played there either! However, it's not clearly explained nor is it relevant to the movie where the lines were drawn then. I see your point that Banks feels he belongs to the Hawks.
@@ericlehman6841 omg all these years I had it wrong? What about the scene where Gordon tells mr ducksworth "not to bring his poo poo diapers on the ice, you'll make us lose the game?" What was up with that?
"Gordon, stop QUACKING"
"YOU DON'T OWN ME ANYMORE, SO ITS QUACKIN' TIME"
Yes 💯 I love the way Gordon let his now former boss have it he obviously learned the wrong ways of life much like Coach Riley and Mr Banks did
I can only imagine Emilio reading the script for this scene thinking, like "wow they literally want me to turn me into a human duck now"
Quacking at your principal and quacking at your former boss just feels so liberating.
“A team isn’t a bunch of kids out to win. A team is something you belong to, something you feel, something you have to earn”. Absolutely perfect.
"you may have paid for this jersey sir but you didn't earn it" that's so true
"Gordon, stop QUACKING."
He don't work for you anymore!
🦆 🦆 🦆
Corruption at it's best 😢
I agree. Especially, when it comes to children’s athletics.
Bombay exposed Ducksworth as a hypocrite.
Dirty Harry owned him when he was District Attorney.
Great Trilogy!

So?? He can still say rest in peace! Who cares how long ago it was?!
Sad how he died ALS is a bitch
05? Wow, I loved him..so many films and TV
WoW 😳 I didn't kno he passed ... How did he die ? Matter fact ima just look it up myself but thanks for the info ...

When you finally understand what hard work really is and what it really means to earn things and to accomplish dreams and goals.

This is one of the best scenes in movie history.. a lesson in life.

They played an audio file of that at the Prudential Centre when the Ducks were playing the Devils. And yes I was there.

“You cut a deal with the pee wee hockey team ? “
Ducksworth actually took care of Gordon when he got his DUI

In real life, he’d have kept Gordon. Bombay is a top attorney and he made ducksworth a ton of money
Ducksworth certainly wouldn't have had cause to fire Gordon over this issue. That could result in a major lawsuit for wrongful dismissal.
yeah but the DUI was plenty of cause (but it was probably at-will employment anyway)
