If you’re a hockey fan and you’re wondering about why the NHL responded as it did to the acquittal of the 5 in the recent hockey trial …
“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 sound to burn the brightest talent to the ground.
“More people get that than don’t. Eighteen players on the Canadian 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 a scintilla of common sense could see how that text at that time of night is an “or else” situation.”
ps. To all the hockey writers who don’t get it, @KurtLeavins , David Staples, et al, maybe this helps.
