You read a story like this, from @KatieJStrang and @RobsonDan on the absolute circus that was the Hockey Canada trial, and you marvel at how anyone can find the courage to come forward with a sexual-assault allegation, especially a very public one. nytimes.com/athletic/64294…

Excellent article that clearly lays out how the trial was stacked against EM and the bias against survivors in court. The players’ memory gaps were from alcohol and time but EM’s lack of perfect recall about a deeply traumatic event was evidence she was unreliable. Disgraceful.

Those men should never ever be welcome back into the nhl, nor should they even be out on the streets. If you think otherwise then you are not welcome on my page.

Heart hurts for EM today. I understand that the onus of proof was not met. That doesn’t make her story untrue. She was put through the wringer with the victim blaming during the trial. I fear it will deter other SA victims from coming forward in future.

Sick to my stomach reading about how the judge says EM's testimony is unreliable especially when Brett Howden literally said he left the room because of how uncomfortable he was hearing EM cry from being slapped so loudly and then him conveniently not remembering saying that.

tw hockey canada, sexual assault

Reminder that for god knows what logical reason, this text was excluded as evidence.

tw: sa if you're watching the verdict of the hockey Canada sexual assault trial come in and all you care about is whether an accused sexual predator can play for your hockey team, you need psychological help

Absolutely disgusted by the verdict and the commentary in the hockey Canada wjc case. I hope all 5 players and any team that acquires them rot in hell. Hockey will never be for everyone until it is safe for everyone.

That her text messages were admissible but Howden’s weren’t was a sign of how stacked against EM this was. Believe survivors.

“Not guilty” is not the same as innocent.

systems that were set up to protect predators rarely ever give justice to victims it takes a lot of courage to come forward. nonetheless, always believe survivors

In light of the trial verdict coming out tomorrow, here is a thread with donation links to orgs for women who have been victims of SA. I will be sharing for each city an NHL team is located in. Whether you have the means to donate or not, I urge you to repost this thread.

Worth noting that research has found sports gambling: - Depletes household savings (1) - Increases household risk of bankruptcy by 25-30% (2) - Has led to a ~9% increase in intimate-partner violence (3) Pretty clear now that legalizing it was probably a bad idea

Yes it does!
