Guys like this were the reason I quit playing hockey and all other team sports as a teen. Everyone wants to point fingers and act like they were never around someone capable of this type of behavior, but ANYONE that played on a team has played with someone they knew was a scumbag, either by their actions or their statements, and everyone would allow it to happen, no one would ever call them on their ####.
I am so sick of the "not an excuse but....." naw that is an excuse... they were young.... they were drinking....they wanted to not jeopardize their career so they kept quiet... lets face the fact, they are predators, scumbags and are willing to use anyone/anything around them to get ahead, why are you even remotely willing to make a statement like that for someone that cares nothing of you?
For everything positive team sports have instilled in me, it has also allowed me to see the evil in people, both directly and indirectly.
