Hockey Media & Business Thread

it doesn't matter, people on social media will brand all the defendants sexual predators and it won't matter the fact no one can remember what happened
Gotta love how you automatically rush to the defense of entitled teenaged jocks who, as a group, have a long history of doing this exact sort of thing because people like you are only too happy to make sure there are never any consequences for them to pay.

I look forward to these former players being exposed, especially if they are any or all of the ones mentioned above.

@GEEMAN exhibit 1, he already has them guilty
 
I'm sure they were all stone cold sober because you were way different from all others back in the 1980s...
Not sure who you were hanging out with back then but I was not unique in my desire to not take advantage of drunk chicks among my peer group. There were definitely some who had no compunction about crossing that line but they were a distinct minority and in most, if not all cases, they were just as drunk as the women they took to bed. But actual predatory behavior by sober guys looking to victimize drunk chicks? That wasn't a feature among my cohort back then. But I wasn't trying to nail uptight BC farm girls from the Fraser Valley or Asian exchange students like you. I was among libertine Quebec chicks, many of them French, who had much less prudish attitudes toward sex than in the rest of Canada.

you and your friends were ahead of your time, I bet you even would have been against slavery in the 1750s
 
I was just thinking you were a frat boy and we know they were like in the 1980s. You must have been the only frat that didn't practice toxic masculinity in the 1980s
 
Our toxic masculinity was confined to crude jokes, themed beer bashes such as "The Carpet Bash: Bring a piece and lay it" or t-shirts that read "No fat chicks". We drew the line far, far short of rape. And we also knew, to a man, that if any one of our fraters crossed that line it wasn't just them who would be in the shit but the entire fraternity chapter could get shut down.
 
Not hockey related, but could be one day:

Djokovic’s anti-trust lawsuit against the ATP and WTA? Athletes and upstarts rarely win against private sports monopolies. But maybe the Saudis are the disrupters in the sports business (e.g. golf).

Thoughts?

Same.
 
Remember though boys, the def of sexual assault has changed since the 1980s when intercourse while wasted was not exactly frowned on (as evidenced by letters/columns in the Ubyseey from women saying they got drunk at Pit then woke up in a dorm with a guy. They might have felt badly about themselves but never accused anyone of sexual assault. So frat boys who "drew" the line at "rape" might have seen that differently than today. Today you ask someone if you can ask them out. In our day you made out on dance flloor during first song.
