Not only did the Hawks invite someone under investigation for rape to their training camp - already disappointing me enough - but also let him be interviewed twice and give him a national platform to basically call his victim a liar. And then everyone basically defended him, again.
On the good side, I enjoyed the reporters figuratively roasting everyone and pulling no punches. Really illustrates the failure of the situation that I want people I cheered before to become completely humiliated.
I'm not watching them for this season. I guess I'm as close to done as I can get with the league. NWHL for me this year.
I don't know how I'm going to deal with Toews giving support - I was planning to slowly transit to other teams and ships via writing some Toews solo and gen. I think I might finish some. Maybe. But right now my enthusiasm is very much gone.
Really, this could have been avoided so easily by the league and the Hawks. but they really, really fucked up.

Date: 2015-09-23 04:03 pm (UTC)I'm really glad that alot of hard core hawks fans I know/follow - not just in fandom but also in sports fandom - have been just as creeped out. And basically been facing the same decisions. That and the beats reacting moderately ok has been soothing against the meatballs.
Tbh I have a hard time not loving all teams, maybe not Boston. Buffalo has a cute logo! All the best luck to you then this year, I hope you do well.^^ But yes, more NWHL!
Also, if you haven't seen, on tumblr epoole88 did CWHL and NWHL logos. Check them out if you haven't!
