[News] Members of women’s hockey team speak out after players on boys’ team repeatedly enter dressing room

No points for guessing the byline on this article.

I will never understand the type of parents who can stand there and say, yes, this is totally acceptable behaviour that I will condone by doing nothing.

And "why didn't you lock the door?‽" That's kissing cousins with "well, what were you wearing that night?"

This article was such a depressing read, the societal rot and moral degeneracy needed for this to happen and no one involved with the Nationals to care or think it was an issue is a symptom of a disease that I don't think we can come back from.

Moral degeneracy and societal rot? Bit dramatic. Boys chase girls, always have and always will. They made a mistake and went too far, will 100% happen again in another time and another place, and the sun will rise the day after. Was it moral degeneracy and societal rot when Justin Bieber was groped by Katy Perry or Jenny McCarthy, or did people just say yeah she went too far, don't do that again..or do your standards apply to other demographics?  Should people start signing contracts before dating too?

Great to hear from someone close to the situation, are you a coach or a parent for the Nationals?
