And God knows a lot of those Starcraft kids would have loved to even have touched a woman.

But what the CHL has done is cultivated the toxic mindset in these young impressionable boys that brought out the worst in many of them.

You tell young men they are God's gift to the world, that sexual assault is just totally normal behaviour, that women want to get drunk and #### them, so it becomes normalized.

And that's why you had the Nike executive telling the drunk woman to take care of the boys and watched her to make sure she would.

I don't think that happened at the Pizza Hut when my soccer team got bronze in intramurals.

I think it rarely happened at the CHL/Hockey Canada level as well. It also likely happens many times outside of hockey when someone has the money/power to say those things to women.
