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 sexual assault about that incident, that’s contributing to rape culture.
Men’s (& boys’) sports clubs have a lot to answer for viz safety and respect of wome. These men (& boys) & their clubs don’t need protection. They need to start taking responsibility for the things they say, post, do that hurt women, and other men (& boys).
They need to take responsibility for the things they don’t do. Like talking to team mates about how rape is not something honourable men are part of. A team of 18 was invited to a “3-way.” 5 participated. None of the other 13 took leadership to steer their mates away from a bad situation.
There’s lots to talk about. -

An improbable story or just another night for the fellas?”#menshealth #hockeytrial #boyswillbeboys #rapeculture #nhl #stanleycup #hockey #hnom #yeg #edmonton @hnom @hockey http://edmontonjournal.com/news/canada/hockey-canada-toxic-culture-criminal-trial/wcm/6d3f2cdb-7330-4711-8b53-2c29da81fad9
