If Jonathan Toews had said “I’m not standing for this”, the ####ing Earth would have moved.
But he didn’t.

You know what though? at 21 years old he could very well, in his own thoughts believe he did the right thing, or didn't know what the right thing to do was. Or didn't know who to believe, what to believe. Whats the "hockey thing" to do? whats the human thing to do? Whats the right thing to do? Not only that but he, along with most of his teammates, could have a tough time believing a 6'3" 185" 20 year old hockey player would "let" a 5'8 150lb video coach assault him. They'd have to question if it was assault or consensual and given its a he said/ she said situation and the physical differences between the two I don't think it'd be a stretch to believe it was consensual.
As for the management and coaching staff, the cover up, or lack of timely investigation, and future endorsing of this creep are the bigger story here.
