Players who actively taunted and bullied John Doe should be outed and punished as well. That is reprehensible, and shouldn’t be ignored as “boys being boys”.

Disagree with the bolded. How can you say homophobic bullying is reprehensible, but then say Cheveldayoff and maybe Bowman should be cut some slack? I think Cheveldayoff, coach Q and Bowman should be in with your first point and be held accountable harshly.
There is lots they could have done. Even something as simple as sending him home and getting him away from the team.
If they didn't want to screw up their cup run, give some family emergency excuse and properly deal with it after.
Instead, he gets to stay, join all the team events, have the cup, and get a recommendation letter? what a crock.
