    For decades, rumors of sexual abuse followed one Chicago-area coach, yet he continued to get job after job. Now, former players are speaking out. "How many people in power or high-power positions chose to save their fucking career by not telling?” theathletic.com/1591547/2020/0…

    If the Panthers/NHL feel like he’s fit to be behind the bench, why is he not required to face the media and answer questions?

    Joel Quenneville does not address media following #FlaPanthers win - instead GM Bill Zito does. Basically says “no comment” until after meeting with Gary Bettman which he says is tomorrow at 2

    All of us in the hockey community talk a lot about character. Enough that it's become distorted, nebulous, hard to define. Tonight Kyle Beach showed us humanity, courage, empathy. He spoke up, even at potential great cost to himself, to help others. That's it. That's character

    Kyle Beach — John Doe — apologized. It's hard to fathom. It was gut-wrenching and agonizing and even infuriating to watch. It also showed more courage and humanity than any of the feckless men who failed him. New column: theathletic.com/2917792/2021/1…

    The next woman addressing the court as Victim 190. We are at 190 victims now. It's one thing to digest this as a sanitized number, and something entirely different to see each of these women stand up, speak, shake, cry, and relive their pain. It is nothing short of staggering.

    To anyone who wonders why players don't report, why they don't speak up, why disclosures can be delayed by years and even decades, this is why. John Doe disclosed allegations of sexual abuse to people in positions of power & authority who he trusted. This was the response:

    For 3 weeks after this group was informed of allegations, no action was taken. During that period, Aldrich traveled & worked w/ the team. He celebrated with the team, in the presence of John Doe. He got his own day with the Cup. He got a ring. Then he was given option to resign.

    The callousness of this response from Rocky Wirtz is stunning. It's an important question, and he seems aggrieved to even have to field it.
