Anyone can, few do. Fewer still do so on national television speaking out against the organization that is the entire driver behind their current employment.
This is not a matter of a random person posting on a message board. Slone took the opportunity to do what was within her power to do, and did exactly that. She, personally, cannot change the inner workings of the NHL. But she can speak her mind and point out where they are wrong, bring public attention to it using her public platform, and do her part to ensure it doesn't get washed over.
I don't understand the desire to separate emotion from this. It's emotion. A human being was sexually assaulted and the crime was covered up and ignored until a decade later. We've known about this for what, a week? And people are eager to forget already?
