Accusing me of using an excuse for not reading? A little unfair ... sorry I have ADD!
I never downplayed his role, I asked what we know about his role.
If you think I'm a foe in a fight against sexual assault and bullying you've really missed your mark.

By saying "We need more information," when we have the information I feel like you're playing it down. When you say "We need more information," when we have the information I feel like you're giving a passive defense of the hiring. Should I be asking "What do you mean by that?" Before jumping to that thought? Yes, you are right I should. Curiosity is important.
Is using ADD an excuse to not read the information a good excuse? No. I have ADD. I have read it. While I do feel more curiosity was necessary on my end (with hindsight), I do think that before you stated we needed more information you should have taken in all the information we do have.
I don't think you're a foe in the fight. I don't think anyone I am arguing with here is an enemy on this. I do think some people are not realizing just how serious this was and how even one player vocally speaking up at the time would have gone a long way and how even now how important it is that people who were apart of that organization speak up. Brent Seabrook was a leader on that team and let a young man's life get turned upside down and his career ruined. Again, he was not the only one to fail here but we cannot downplay the fact he was a part of that failure.
