Sure this shows immaturity, and for that I hope he doesn't get the captaincy, but it was an act of immaturity and even though she voiced that she was scared ####less, and a normal person would apologise, laugh and walk away, he decided to be arrogant and drop his pants inexplicably. But to make it anything more than that when there's no evidence of assault or harassment, is really acting like this guy hurt someone badly. He's arrogant, but lets not make this criminal.

I'm more outraged by the outrage to the outrage.
I think most people feel the punishment fits the crime here, but are objecting to those who are minimizing what he did with "boys will be boys" garbage.
And the only people who have even hinted at assault, where those trying to minimize his actions, thereby exaggerating the opinions of those they are arguing with.
