My take on it is that pro athletes are hyper focused on their goal - winning, especially the star players like Seabrook. Fringe players are hyper focused on being the best they can be so they can win a contract and stay in the league.
Did Seabrook know about the abuse? No doubt in my mind that he did. Did he do enough to try and stop it? I highly doubt it, probably telling himself his place was to focus on winning games and that management would look after the problem. That is a stain on his character forever, but I think a decade + after the fact, he can be given a second chance.
Those players who actively ridiculed poor Kyle Beach are pure #######s and I would never give them another shot.
There are degrees of evil with the various people involved.
