It wasn't right, but that's what happened."
Everyone tries to minimize and/or deflect. Just own it.

As I said in the other thread, I also think they are getting off unfairly easy by focusing on the Aldrich situation.
Not one of them have owned up or taken any responsibility for how Beach was treated once they did know. For the players, that’s the most disgusting thing. You know a guy was sexually assaulted and you throw homophobic slurs at him? or you hear others doing it and say nothing? Absolutely disgusting. It makes me hate hockey. Why would I trust ANY hockey player as being any better? Why should I believe that any of them are above this?
