Ok, i am not arguing that what happened is wrong. The incident (and many others Graham James for example) are not acceptable, ever. No grey areas for sure. But…
1.) Do you know anyone associated with the Blackhawks incident personally? Any of the players or executives? Do you have first hand information that nothing has been done, outside of what the media has reported, or posted on social media, to rectify this?
2.) Do you know for certain that Seabrook has not made amends, or apologized personally to Beech? How do you know that in private he has not done anything to take accountability?
3.) Do you know for certain that Seabrook has not done any counselling, discussed with therapist(s) the situation or dealt with guilt? Do you know for certain he has just gone about his life with no regrets or shame? Do you know for a fact that he hasn’t learned and grown from this awful thing?
My guess is that your answer to all 3 questions would be no… that is my point. What they did was way wrong. However, without knowing the full facts, who are we to pass judgment on this person? Doom scrolling twitter isn’t conclusive evidence, nor full of facts. Without knowing any of the full details it is not up to us to pass judgement. I’ll be hopeful that the Flames and Conroy did their due diligence before hiring Seabrook.
