My only take on his relation to the Flames is that I think hiring him is a mistake.
So we should be more understanding because not speaking up is a tradition?
Sure. And I've been punished accordingly. The Blackhawks as an organization and as individuals got no where near enough punishment for what occurred. Which is my issue.
Well, I've never done anything as heinous as to sit back and do nothing in a situation like this one so that's neat. But in other situations, I did miss out on opportunities and chances in my life that I will not get again as consequences for my actions.
My stance on this has been repeated multiple times. I'm not answering it again as you guys just don't like my answer.
No, I do not.
Ownership? Small, insignificant fine.
Management? Time-out.
Players and employees? Sweet #### all.
Unless you're implying being gifted Bedard when this all came to light because Kyle Beach bravely came forward was a punishment?
Yeah, they just "Wanted to focus on the play-offs". It's totally fine they didn't push deeper when it was brought up. My disappointment isn't just that it happened. It's that nothing happened when people started to find out. Everyone just closed their eyes, covered their ears and went about their day except for apparently three people.

Education is a process and it does get better. Complaining even rehashing about something that was dealt with by the NHL shouldn't have any bearing on the Flames. We all know the Flames are pretty strict about discrimination and abuse.
Like I said in a post after yours I've dealt with discrimination on my life, being upset about it and rehashing it doesn't solve anything, speaking up and education and providing people and organizations an opportunity to change is a much better solution. Do you really know Seabrook s involvement, who he talked to or how he felt about the situation at the time. Is there any reason we should take your word for not hiring Seabrook over the Calgary Flames organization? Is this something you're passionate about that you've brought up a lot in the past, or have you just decided to speak up about this situation with Seabrook and the Chicago Blackhawks?
Are you trying to educate us or are you generally upset because the Calgary Flames hired him?
