People have criticized men’s (& boys) sports as fostering, or at least contributing to, a culture where “we don’t talk about.” That’s rape culture we’re talking about. When the Las Vegas Golden Knights professional hockey club bars a reporter from talking to a player charged (& acquitted) for […]

Still one of the better takes on the hockey trial that’s still echoing through the NHL (the trial and the players, not so much the bigger and more important issues).
“The league’s key point doesn’t refer to any rule. Instead, it is an assertion of normative values: “The behaviour at issue was […]
🏒🥅🇨🇦 OMG, the tiny men of the “manosphere” & their pathetic lack of self-respect! Cringeworthy.
Men (& especially men in hockey), it’s time for leadership. Grow up. Be men, not entitled frat-boys.
Do we have big enough balls for that? I think so.
(Unfortunately, lots of us still want to play […]
“She said that she assumed a coping strategy that she herself didn’t completely understand; that’s why she couldn’t really explain it. She gives them sex because she knows that’s what they want. What will happen if she resists? She doesn’t know.”

🏒🥅🇨🇦 Dear @KurtLeavins - I’m a fan of your “9 Things” column, & of your hockey punditry generally. But today’s column..
You rightly laud RNH for many things, including his “…unblemished character off the ice.
“…when you examine all the critical attributes that one would need to be a Team 🇨🇦 […]

“Some people can be terrible and get away with it for a whole career. But in today’s world, that’s getting harder to do. All it takes is one video with […]
🏒🥅🇨🇦 “Where were the teammates of the accused? Did they know about this? Who said what was happening or what had happened was not right?
Do they exist? Or is the culture around sports teams so pervasive that even young men who are disgusted by the contempt shown to women & girls will not speak […]
🏒🥅🇨🇦 “…the verdict should not stop our calls for change in the culture that is damaged and damaging to our athletes, our communities, and our sense of selves.”

“It’s just such a flawed way of thinking about human […]
But this letter isn't just about fear. It's about hope. It's about the hope I carry that you will be different. That you'll be better. That you'll be the kind of men the world needs. The kind of men I needed. You can be the boys who grow into men who see a drunk girl at a party and don't laugh or look away. You help her get dressed. You help her get home. You don't let anyone touch her. You speak up, even if it's uncomfortable. Even if you're the only one.But this letter isn't just about fear. It's about hope.

Still fuming over the Hockey Canada trial this past week, so gonna continue this thread by posting a few more relevant articles and skeets. #HockeyTrial #BelieveWomen
🏒🥅🇨🇦 “…in the end, both the [NHL] and the [Players Association] are missing the bigger picture: there’s a broader cultural leadership role to play and neither organization has said or done what needs to be here.
And a huge factor in this is the NHL being the only league of the big four North […]
“NHL delivers a lesson after the Hockey Canada verdict: Be nice, or else”
🏒🥅 🇨🇦 It is a privilege and an honour to represent Canada. Despite the legal ruling on Thursday, which was always going to be unsatisfactory (because the court of law struggles to deal with […]

🏒🥅🇨🇦 Be nice, or else…
“More people get that than don’t. 18 players on the 🇨🇦 junior team got Michael McLeod’s “Who wants to be in a 3-way quick” group text. The majority didn’t show up.
That doesn’t mean they’re nice, but they were smart enough to follow the “be nice” rule. Because anyone with […]
There are 460,000 sexual assaults in Canada every year. Out of every 1000 sexual assaults: 33 are reported to the police, 29 are recorded as a crime, 12 have charges laid, 6 are prosecuted, 3 lead to conviction, and 997 ASSAILANTS WALK FREE. Source: Johnson, “Limits of a Criminal Justice Response: Trends in Police and Court Processing of Sexual Assault,” in Sheehy, Sexual Assault in Canada: Law, Legal Practice and Women’s Activism, 2012.
🧵 So I've posted this graphic before when I was still on the bird site, but figured that with yesterday's ludicrous 'not guilty' ruling in the Canadian #HockeyTrial, it was time to post it here.
Because I like how the graphic illustrates how OFTEN sexual assault is NOT reported, OR taken seriously.
🏒🥅🇨🇦 Opinion: Canada’s sexual-assault law is not the problem – it’s the application of it
“As for whether these men were morally innocent because they honestly but mistakenly believed E.M. communicated consent to their sexual contact, our law also recognizes that it is not enough to assume that […]
“The allegations made in this case, even if not determined to have been criminal, were very disturbing and the behavior at issue was unacceptable,” the NHL said …
“We will be reviewing and considering the judge’s findings. While we conduct that analysis and determine next steps, the players […]
HOCKEY CANADA TRIAL 3 of 5 former Hockey Canada players found not guilty of sexual assault as judge continues rulings Updated 6 minutes ago Justice Carroccia says she didn’t find complainant's evidence 'credible or reliable'.
So... I guess it's clear that Justice Maria Carroccia was a hockey mom, eh?
It's now 4 out of 5. So they'll all be found ng. Bullshit.

I can't fathom how one of the accused, D. Dube, described what was happening as 'shocking' but NOT ONE guy going in and out of that hotel room tried to STOP IT.

🏒🥅🇨🇦 “..has anything changed? The accused ..all insisted that no criminal wrongdoing took place. That is, that an intoxicated young woman performed sexual acts w several men as others watched & ate pizza, over a number of hours, & nothing untoward took place.

“We wonder about “voluntary agreement” when as many as 9 strangers enter a room (some w golf clubs that they allegedly discussed inserting inside of her) where a young woman is intoxicated & naked, having just had sex w their teammate. Agreeing because you are […]
🏒🥅 "Even if the result is that nobody is found guilty, I don't think any of the accused should be proud of their actions," Trask said.
"This should be quite eye-opening for everybody about the culture in relation to hockey. Collectively we need to say as a society, 'We're not going to accept […]
It continues to boggle my mind that there are those in the Oilers fan base who promote one of these young men as a “solution” to the perceived “goaltending problem.” Aside from his abilities as a goalie, his character is unworthy of wearing the Oilers jersey. Regardless of the verdict, and not […]
This language & attitude are dangerous & must be called out. These were not "boys". They were men-legal adults-and the same age as the woman. "Boys will be boys" is not a defense for sexual assault. No sympathy for these creeps.
