3We couldn't watch the whole show because he uses the F word as often as he fights on the ice. He was a Calgary Flames player (hockey for those who don't follow). He coughed up on his coach a few decades ago. Instantly the world of coaches and others who volunteered or worked with minors changed. Everybody had to have a crim check before they could work with kids or other populations that needed to be kept safe. I remember feeling angry. I liked the fact that the rules were in place, even if they don't do a helluva lot. But when girls came out about teachers or kids came out about scout leaders nothing changed. It was the almighty hockey that made people open there eyes. Not widely but more than they had been.

He was at a gathering after he wrote a book about his experience. Well, before he wrote the book he got sober. He said that while people came up and asked for his signature not one person even patted his arm and whispered "I'm sorry that happened to you."

I don't think it is much better today. Sure the shows are all over television but people just talk about how that show is intriguing because of how they solve the crimes and that one is really cute or whatever. SA is still the skeleton that is at the back of the closet.
