yea he sucked. I would mock him too, what a patriot.

Cam Barker was worse.

Only kids, women, and weak men should be sexually assaulted.

It is a little weird though, isn't it? I assume if some dude demanded to suck your cock, you'd be like, "What? Are you nuts?" And if he insisted and it was obvious you could beat the snot out of him, I'm guessing he would be missing some teeth.

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

Come on Juice, context is everything. Yeah, of course people would want to ask for evidence of the claims, that is understandable. However, look at the rest of DAC's statement in total. Wanting to wait to see what the results of the investigation were is fine, but victim shaming and accusing John Doe of a money grab isn't. For those in this thread asking, "Why didn't he kick the scrawny coaches ass?" Do you honestly believe a 20 year-old who is fighting for a spot on a team that close to a championship wasn't afraid of the power that coach had? We all can say, "Who cares, it's the video coach?" Most of us here have a different level of development and world outlook than a 20 year-old who has been doing nothing but eat/sleep/drink hockey for their whole lives. If is was Beach (or whomever) do they have the executive functioning maturity to realize that this guy didn't really hold the power over him?

The victims are the American People and the Republic itself.

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

Definitely some questions about that physicality on his scouting report if he let a 5'5 pervert overpower him. I mean how the fuck could you expect him to go to toe with Kevin Bieksa? Seriously, I'm 100% not blaming players in camp who mocked him. If I knew him and the perp, I'd mock him too for not being able to fight out of that situation.

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

Very well said HD.

Hard to wrap your mind around a 5'5 guy assaulting a hockey player who is 6'3.

You guys whonare blaming the victim for not beating up Aldrich are morons who don't understand victim psychology.
It's not always about being physically overpowered. You're talking about someone who apparently made it clear that he had some authority over his job and earning potential. He held sway over whether he would make it in the NHL on some level. You're Essentially talking about a very young man who didn't have a guaranteed shot at the show. And this guy told him he could get him kicked out.

Guy who knew how to manipulate his role on the team with a player he viewed as easy to take advantage of though? You don't think the coach knew which target to hit up?

There are a few takes being here by people here who are looking at the issue through their world-view/lens/fully developed (stretch for some here I guess) executive functioning, not the victims. Why should have Beach been put in that situation in the first place?

Agreed 100%...

These things are almost always about the power someone has over your career. This thread is another low point for this board.

I know that this will sound insensitive, but I struggle understanding how heterosexual male professional athletes allow a guy like Bradley Aldrich to sexually assault them multiple times. He should have been eating out of a straw after the first attempt. He wasn't some physically imposing guy, management or even a head coach. He had no control over a player's career.

It wasnt that long ago that you wrestled with some of these hard things as well. From the first thread on this story...

Damn, Ralph with the KO on Nas.

Darkside and I agree again.

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

My ASSumption was that he was already in the NHL and not some kid still working his way up.

Clearly the scouting on him was way off because damn was he soft.

A 1st round lottery pick with the tools to step in after departures that everyone knew would be coming due to cap squeeze isn't exactly someone working his way up. He is someone who essentially has his spot already there for him. Dustin Byfuglien's or Troy Brouwer's spot was literally his to take by just showing up and doing work. Clearly the scouting on him was way off because damn was he soft.

This wasn't some 5th rounder selected from a podunk USHL team

So he deserved to get 'raped'?
