If I was half my age I would have felt different, but see things better now. While Bowman wasn't the one who did the bad things, he was an enabler in how he failed miserably at dealing with it all. There are a few people in this situation that had every right to hate him and others forever, but they don't. Now they don't hate him, instead they fully support him. They support him understanding that he is being placed in the exact same environment as when this happened.
While I do wish the Oilers went another direction to avoid the side show part of it with fans and media, I am ok with him being the GM now that he is here. The education he has received from Beach and Kennedy after this has given him an opportunity to be a leader in the industry in educating others.
I don't and will never accept his role in this back then, but I do accept where he is at as a person now when it comes to this subject. He could have just shut up hoped this would fade enough to be welcomed back, but he didn't. I respect him for that and am giving him an open minded chance going forward.
