Nobody is hanging the whole village. Just holding people accountable. I don’t believe anyone is suggesting the same punishment Aldrich got (years later, when he was actually caught after the org enabled him to reoffend).
This isn’t even an issue that’s relegated to the past. Another victim is taking the Blackhawks to trial in October.

This is offensive and just as bad as what Blaster is doing. None of your allegations are supported by evidence.
The only 'cover-up' was that McDonough delayed reporting it for three weeks. This was wrong. Not sure it counts as a cover-up and it is all on McDonough.
Who protected the criminal? To be fair, the alleged abuser, in this instance, but unless you are counting the delay above and the ability to participate in the cup celebration as 'protecting him', then there is no evidence that anyone protected him. I can see the delay in notifying HR and allowing him to participate as ####ty decisions but I don't see that as 'protecting' him like we have seen in the past in many different instances of abuse.
We have no details about who abused/mocked the victim, who knew about it, or any actions that occurred.
You, and others, are definitely hanging the whole village. Guilt by association is all that is happening here. I believe Beach. I think some, or several, players made homphobic comments in training camp. Was it Seabrook? Was it some duster? WE DON'T KNOW.
This is not a defence of Aldrich, McDonough or the HR person. It is only about ensuring that people that are tarred and feathered have evidence that supports that.
