I really hope Hockey Canada receives a timed ban from participating in international competition. Of course, it will never happen.

Cartoon Man posted:The USA Gymnastics scandal was just as bad, some of the victims were as young as 12 when it started, wouldn’t be surprised if it was younger though. They did the same thing as Canada hockey and passed around known predatory coaches to keep the scandal under wraps. Unfortunately any organization that has power over young children is going to have issues attracting the wrong people. Add in the money and prestige and you're asking for trouble. English soccer had its issues https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_football_sexual_abuse_scandal with sexual abuse from coaches and also players raping people. The Catholic church is probably the worst case scenario in terms of scale, but it comes from the same place. Horrible monsters are unfortunately good at finding organizations that care more about other things (money, results, etc) than people to protect them. And for the NCAA, Baylor (just the first one I could think of, there's probably more) didn't get burned to the ground so it's not the model that's the problem, it's the people running it actually giving a poo poo. All the safeguards don't mean poo poo if the people ultimately making decisions think it's no big deal.

Hey everyone, what Darryl Katz did was totally a-ok cause she was 18 and not 17 as previously reported. Totally on the up and up and he is a good person who would never do bad sex things and so on and so forth and gently caress him. https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/claims-against-edmonton-oilers-owner-daryl-katz-withdrawn/

loving love McDavids statement: "this is really awful for everybody" Yeah, it's really awful for the rapists and the rape enablers that this has come to light. In the CBC sorry about it this morning the very next line after that quote is "these allegations have not been proven in court" Burn in hell.

Earlier this year, Québec’s education minister sent the QMJHL an ultimatum - either impose stricter rules against fighting, or the government would refuse to sanction the games. Do the feds not play a part in sanctioning all non-professional games in Canada? If so, could they not simply refuse to sanction games until Hockey Canada takes action to fix hockey culture?

They definitely could do a lot but won't. Canada exists as an oil and mining consortium and the only pay masters that matter after them are the telecoms. If it isn't loving with that money, nothing gonna happen. Plus our politicians are mostly rich white kids that look fondly back on their time in or adjacent to HC stuff in some capacity. Everyone has good hockey memories and boy will be boys/rapists.

El Gallinero Gros posted:See also: Church, the Catholic I was thinking mostly about cops but yeah, there are examples of it everywhere and in all of these institutions it seems like 'sweep it under the rug' is the most common solution. Actually, thinking about it now... the only real examples I can think of where toxic, dangerous people are excised from their communities, have been in the arts; Hollywood, the music industry, etc... Obviously this isn't true of every case - there are still sexpest comedians making comebacks - but it seems like the only real high-profile ostracizations (and sometimes prosecutions) of pests has come from the arts. I'm drawing a blank otherwise. Other organizations like politics, athletics, law enforcement, all seem to love to just bury it. Maybe because they're largely boys' clubs and nobody wants to rock the boat, or maybe because higher-ups in their power structures also have the same skeletons in their own closets and they don't want to start the ball rolling and end up exposed. Just thinking out loud.

If Hockey Canada is refusing change at the top this much, why the gently caress would anybody believe that they’re suddenly going to change the way they handle sexual assault allegations? Scott Smith is a national embarrassment, you can’t hide from the media until this blows over bud. How many more millions of sponsorship dollars have to be pulled before HC forces him to step down?

Yeah that’s the lovely part, having some top level executives resign is already mostly performative nonsense to symbolize change when nothing about the culture actually changes for the better. Yet that is the incredibly low standard that is being asked of HC and they still refuse.
