The unnamed player, and the rest of the locker room, probably mocked him, and threw the information back in his face time and time again. These are hockey players we are talking about, after all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I take that back, no “probably” about it. Agreed. I don't think I'll be watching any Hawks games this year, including the ones against Vancouver. Hopefully their ratings take a dramatic drop. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, I'm not gonna even pretend I'm familiar with American law Could get interesting in that regard too, as some of that team was obviously not from the US Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did I blame the victim in my post. The victim did come forward to management and management did nothing, the players on the team knew what happened and did nothing. The end result is someone else was sexually abused when that could have been stopped. You can call it victim blaming all you want, fact is this guy wasn't stopped, and as a result another person was abused. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The victim(s) didn't 'allow' anything to happen and bear zero responsibility for this scumbags subsequent actions.

The Hawks even gave the guy a positive reference, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hawks have certainly been tried and convicted in the court of public opinion but whether they are legally responsible for their actions (or lack thereof) remains to be seen.
