However you want to half justify it is cool but my own morality is quite honestly better than that and I am a better person for not wanting people like that on the teams I cheer for. Good on Beach and Kennedy for supporting it, but we all get to choose our own path, and I will continue to think less of anyone who supports this hire in any circumstance. I don’t believe there is any redemption for what Bowman did. Looks like I’m not alone either as the majority of the hockey world is pissed.
