I find the reports findings to be absolutely laughable with regards to the lack of accountability. A lot of "I don't recall, I thought so and so was going to look after it. I did my part, somebody else dropped the ball"
Bottom line is a sexual crime was committed here by an employee of a top tier sports organization. The victim happened to be a physical fit and strong male which may skew some people's perception. I will admit when I first heard this I thought it may have been overplayed or some minor transgression but when I read what actually happened, I was stunned.
The lack of actual pushback to that BS report from credible journalist's, insiders and within the general NHL community is still stunning. I would appreciate a little more honesty and just have the top dogs at the NHL, the players and the NHLPA just flat out and say that we don't want to kill the money goose rather than subject the general public to this charade of investigations and accountability with promises to do better.
Way too many people knew and this should have been reported to the police. There is an issue of failure to do that across the board and that includes people who are close to the victim in this case. Sometimes I think people are ill served by people who they are close to for fear of getting it wrong and than it costing money, opportunity or reputation.
Brutal across the board.
