the half assed apology that Matthews gave really speaks to the bigger issue of men in professional sports never really having to face the consequences of their actions.

it seems like every apology in recent memory has been more or less "I'm sorry for distracting the team" and not "I'm sorry for my actions"

now obviously he's not the first or the worst case, but it's really indicative of the bigger issue in professional sports culture

hockey will never be for everyone unless this issue is addressed and there's a major culture shift.

can’t wait for all of the auston ass lickers to brush this disgusting behavior under the rug just because he’s “young”. he’s an adult and it’s about time people stop uwu-ifying him and hold him accountable for his fuck ups.

Well, it's a disgusting situation although i'm glad its come to light. Like shoutout to that one random habs fan on twitter because the leafs organization and his pr people have absolutely been keeping this shit quiet INTENTIONALLY and we should engage in a larger discussion about accountability and transparency here

Also like if it’s not clear: this isn’t a one team thing, this isn’t a league thing, this isn’t even a sports thing it’s a men in power doing whatever they want because at the end of the day he’s going to go and have millions of fans supporting him and it happen no matter what city he plays for. This is a bigger issue about holding men accountable in positions of power so while we may talk about what that looks like in the specific environments of hockey, the nhl, Toronto, or the maple leafs organization, don’t derail this to be a team vs team thing

Alright well fuck Auston Matthew’s, that was a shitty thing to do.

Also everyone online who’s like “oh well *insert generic NHL player here* did this and its worse so auston is innocent and did nothing wrong” can absolutely do one, lots of people do lots of things wrong and we can (and should) call them out on it.

I love how Kotkaniemi always smiles. Like that shit is so contagious, when he’s out there I can’t help but smile even if the Habs are losing it’s like BUT THERES KK!

friendly reminder it’s not cool to sexually harass someone or try to purposefully scare her because “it’ll be funny to see her reaction”… and it’s really not cool to pretend it never happened just because he’s going to bring glory to toronto
