@fgraver @caffeinatedgeek @mike “Mama Stanley,” à hard-core Oilers fan, is challenging the Oilers organization to reconsider their signing of a sexual predator (acquitted rapist). It’s a step towards holding athletes and mgt accountable. Her petition has almost 74,000 signatures. Worth signing, IMO. And worth sharing amongst hockey fans who aren’t ok with the rape culture that’s endemic in Canada’s boys and men’s hockey.
ps. Two other clubs have signed known sexual predators, St. Louis Blues and Las Vegas Golden Knights. Many Hurricanes fans expressed their disapproval of VGK’s player during this year’s SCF. I believe we need more of that vocal disapproval of bad actors.
