I think peoples' feelings towards the then-Hawks leadership group has more to do with their ability to affect Beach's day to day life and the actions of people in the locker room, i.e., calling him a f****t, asking him if he missed his boyfriend Brad, making blowjob jokes, and so on. That, one would assume, is torture for someone who's gone through what Beach did. If all of that is true, then they do bear their share of responsibility.
