Oh I'm sure people will understand the difference between the words. It's just a bit tough to defend someone with those technicalities without, you know, sounding like a pedophile.

Even in a case where all parties (according to reports at least) are and have been above the general legal age of content, and the p-word doesn't really factor in anyhow?

In that kind of case, people insisting on using the word 'pedophile' seem to do that just to invoke the stigma and outrage the word carries. If money and power wasn't involved, the alleged Katz/Humpries encounter would be a legal act of sex under the Canadian law.

Katz' alleged actions are predatory and fall under the protection that a young person at the age of 16-17 has against such, but probably not pedophilia where non-predatory action wouldn't be. (And yes, IMO 50 years old shouldn't be doing none with 16-17 year olds)

They clearly don’t, people are literally calling a person a pedophile for having sex with someone a pedophile would never touch.

Enjoy your hit of outrage and insulting strangers on the Internet. Stand up behaviour for when you've got the power of right. And zero tolerance for fallibility. The opposite of what Jesus would do but you've somehow found the moral high ground.

all in the typical days work of a good old Christian!

Damn, she came with the receipts.

I guess when you're that rich blowing a regular person yearly wages on sex is NBD.

Is anyone really shocked when news like this comes out about a billionaire?

What gets me is doing it with an underage girl. Like, if youre willing to pay for this kind of stuff you can afford pretty much any girl. They don't even have to be prostitutes', they can just be girls looking for a sugar daddy. Why risk it for a 17 year old.

Wonder how long it take the big guns at Sportsnet to tackle this one? They barely commented on the Blackhawks situation until it became apparent the story wasn't going away.

I would guess that's exactly the deal. I would bet there are executives who ask the accounting what's the average yearly income among all the employees in the company and then make a point of blowing more than that for a single session of hookers and blow.

Are they at least going to get rid of Bob Nicholson out of the organization? Wasn't he with Hockey Canada when all that shit happened?

He left HC before the 2018 incident.

If Donald Sterling can be strong-armed into selling a team because he's an unabashed racist, you'd hope the NHL could force Katz out for this.

Just the latest in a series of black eyes for the NHL

I believe 3/4 of owners have to vote him out. Something like that.

Maybe this is why Katz wanted the local governments to pay for over half of Rogers Place
 
What a scummy story all around. The Buttons are awful people now seeking to deflect blame by outting others' involvement with the girl, which doesn't take anything away from Katz being a creep (those texts, man!). Just gross.

Seems like Oiler fans were glowing lately with the trouble in Calgary. This is a big curveball.

I mean to be fair from a strictly hockey perspective Katz perhaps being definitively proven to be a Scumbag and potentially being forced out as the owner is still better than Losing the Flames Equivalent of McDavid and Draisaitl within the span of a week. Some Oilers Fans perhaps would be glad for new ownership even if it is under these appalling circumstances.

If anyone involved can be trusted to tell the truth. For what we know, it all could be an Epsteinian prostitution ring where someone got the bright idea to blackmail the wealthy patrons, who on their part then chose to bankroll a harsh legal suit against the blackmailers to destroy their creditability, but got tripped on the kompromat the blackmailers had gotten for their protection. Speculatively speaking.

Is that the the main family against the girl in the story? I’d delve into it deeper but I’ve sort of reached my quota for awful depressing news stories this week ya know ? hahaha.

Heck , I Just watched a video about the potential Collapse of Civilization in 2040, I need to get outside and get some sun for sure 😂

because it is the Oilers you can expect them to rake the oilers over the coals and then say "we are hearing McDavid is unhappy and is looking for a trade"

Not much from the NHL insiders on Hockey Canada cover up too

I’d argue that it’s not a sports story but a news story and should be covered by journalists with experiences in such things. And before anyone mentions Rick Westhead, his Background is as an actual news reporter and not a sports reporter. Now, an argument could be made that Sportsnet needs someone like that to handle actual news stories that have a sports angle,

I think NHL Insiders have a completely different set of skills than those needed to report on this sort of stuff.

I don't know if this allegation is true or not but I do know that there are many creeps in Canada. Those with wealth or whom are in positions of power are the worst offenders.
