I'd like to think my opinion is in the "healthy range of opinion", and yes, I am ok with what has happened. For sure when it comes to the Coyote situation. Less clear on UND, as we don't really know what representations he made to them when they signed him up, and also not clear what it means for him to continue to be a student.

I totally disagree on this outraged mob narrative. At least on CP, I thought there was a fairly measured response, with a few totally foreseeable outliers. How this discussion affects any of the parties is beyond me. Has anyone here actually contacted any of the parties? Wrote an opinion piece at the NYT? All of this seems to be basically water cooler talk, with about as much sway as same.

Ultimately, Miller made numerous mistakes, some as a child, some as a young adult. This isn't a happy story and I don't think many are celebrating right now. Yet, even now, I think there is still a shot at redemption. He may never be an NHL player, but that was never his right, and ultimately a very slim chance at fruition under the best of circumstances. Maybe he becomes a better person; a leader in the dangers of bullying, who knows, but that is still within his control. I would say the chances that he has a normal life is still very high.
