Lol, first there's the people who think Cherry did nothing wrong, and right on queue you will get some other idiots now who will use this opportunity to push their nonsense about the "white male patriarchy" as well. The hockey community is largely people that have spoken out against Cherry's comments (see comments from most NHL personnel like Peters and Monahan), and if she thinks hockey players/fans were all white boys and bullies she just didn't hang out with many people. No idea who this person is but she's talking nonsense that just brings another layer of stupidity to this whole thing. She is quite literally generalizing about people, which is exactly what sparked all of this in the first place.
