"Senior officials at Hockey Canada... claimed they didn’t know who was involved. It was a statement as ridiculous as it was disheartening and sickening."Columnist Gary Mason with some perspective on how Hockey Canada's top officials agreed to pay millions to settle a lawsuit... without knowing who was involved in the alleged sexual assault.Also, the public *still* does not know the identity of the Hockey Canada employee who contacted one of the players involved - hours after the alleged assault - to tell him the woman's family had contacted Hockey Canada.If and when Hockey Canada makes public its investigation findings, it will be interesting to see how the decisions of the federation's executives are judged.

2 Carter Hart jerseys for sale, authentic home and away. Previously worn once by two heartbroken 10 year old kids.
I would put them away somewhere in hopes that the Flyers would offer some kind of jersey exchange for them. Obviously they won’t want people wearing Hart jerseys cause of the bad PR.

I can’t imagine trying to explain this to kids. Terrible

I was in the Dominican Republic when all this was going down, and I started seeing all these different players taking leaves of absence.

There is no definite information yet, but there is also no effort from the teams to refute any speculative correlation. You would imagine if a leave of absence was absolutely not related to something heinous and despicable, a team would say so. But I don't work in PR or law, so what do I know?

For all we know, the players could have lawyered up, and threatened a couple hundred million in damages for defamation and loss of wages. If the players feel they have a case, with video or text messages, ya might want to tread lightly, nameing names.

Big money, big reputations, and a lot of very young people learning what bad choices and conduct that may have happened.

I don't trust any number posted anywhere unless I see a source that I can check out, whether it's your 2-8% false accusations, or 25% of women being sexually assaulted. Without examining how the term is defined (sexual assault is often defined as "unwanted touching," which could range from rape or just making out and he went a little far then stopped when told no), how the data was collected, who was doing the collecting (are they biased, trying to strengthen a political argument, etc.), and how a sample was chosen and then projected to the general population, I'm skeptical of all posted numbers.

Why would the police be involved? "For all we know," your proposed scenario doesn't make sense

There was a time once, when I was a kid. In those days I was young. A chicken attacked me. I was defeated. I have since eaten numerous chickens. I absorbed their powers. Now I am supreme.

I'm not a lawyer though.
I cook about 500 chickens every day I work.

Get on my Level you f***ing scrub.

I would like to reiterate. The sum of information we have with this does not indicate that anyone charged will be done so based on falsehood. This thread isn't going to be a place to debate the merits of other unrelated sexual assault accusations.
Respectfully, I would like my response to DrinkFightFlyers put back up. Failing that, his response to my earlier comment should be taken down. This is not cool.
