Woah crazy stat @espn

[lex! @86TERAVAINEN]

only one player in NHL history admitted to hearing a woman weeping while being assaulted, left her there, then later changed his story to cover up for his friends who assaulted her.

His name is Brett Howden.

The Vegas Golden Knights shut down Carter Hart’s media day availability when questions drifted towards his controversial acquittal. The team has been shielding Hart all season. Even before signing him, The Athletic’s Mark Lazerus (@MarkLazerus) had his credentials taken away and was forced to leave the team’s practice facility for “ambushing” Noah Hanafin when he simply asked him for his thoughts on the potential signing.

Supporters of Hart will claim that he should not have to field any questions regarding the topic because he testified in the trial. It is fair that Hart should not have to rehash any questions he faced in court, but it is disingenuous to suggest that no possible questions can be raised in the fallout since he took the stand.

---

Here are four questions that were left unanswered that any self-respecting journalist would ask:

“You testified that Cal Foote was clothed during his party trick. Not a single other person claimed that under oath. On the contrary, Dillon Dube, Alex Formenton and Tyler Steenbergen all told Hockey Canada in 2022 that Foote was naked. Your testimony was specifically singled out by the judge in her explanation to acquit Foote. Why do you think your testimony contradicted the numerous confessions?”

“Your lawyer suggested that there was no reason for Brett Howden to perjure himself to protect former teammates he no longer plays with. The judge ultimately agreed. Do you find it ironic that you are now teammates again? And do you think the judge has any concept of how professional sports operates and the regularity of player movement?”

“Are you aware that the Golden Knights have been confiscating fan signs in opposing buildings, even if the signs have no mention of you or the trial? And do you think the team should prevent fans from expressing their feelings regarding your return despite Gary Bettman publicly saying that is their right?”

“After your acquittal, the league extended your already lengthy suspension. They called your behaviour ‘deeply troubling and unacceptable’, citing their own private investigation. The player’s association did not appeal on your behalf. Do you agree with the league’s decision?”

---

Freedom of the press is the fundamental right of journalists to publish and investigate information without intimidation or undue restriction. The @GoldenKnights have shown that they do not believe in this concept. If they truly believe that the signing of Hart is defensible, they should be expected to actually defend it.

Carter Hart is about to play in the Stanley Cup Final. He was acquitted of sexual assault charges this past summer, but there is a lot more to the story. With the brightest lights now shining on him, it is important to understand the nuance of the controversial case.

“We Believe E.M” does not mean we believe every detail of her testimony. It does not mean we believe she did not make any mistakes that night. It simply means we believe she was sexually assaulted. And the evidence supports that belief.

I will leave you with some facts. This is all available if you research (tw // sa):

- There is ZERO evidence or testimony that EM ever asked Michael McLeod to invite additional men to that hotel room. McLeod never testified, and all we have is a video interview with police where he never made that claim, meanwhile LYING when he denied sending a text invite to ALL his teammates. On the otherhand, there is text evidence the following day of EM telling McLeod she did not expect more partners, and it was not disputed by McLeod.

- There is ZERO evidence or testimony that EM ever asked (or was asked) for Cal Foote to do the splits over her. Even if you believe the men’s story that she was saying “have sex with me”, she never said “teabag me”. The judge actually agreed in her report there was no consent, instead she dismissed it saying it was non-sexual based on Carter Hart’s testimony that Foote was not naked.

- In 2022, Alex Formenton & Dillon Dube BOTH CONFESSED to Hockey Canada that Cal Foote was naked during the splits. This was ruled inadmissible on a technicality. Other than Hart, no other witness dared to say Foote was clothed; they all pretended to not remember.

With this information, at the very least, McLeod and Foote are guilty:

- Foote performed a sexual act without consent. It does not make him a rapist, but it is a crime

- McLeod is an accessory to that sexual assault

If these two men were given the guilty verdict I strongly believe they deserved (even if it was a proverbial slap on the wrist; i.e. a 6-month house arrest), it would have been an amazing teaching moment for our nation while setting a modern standard for consent.

The conduct of the others, including Hart, may not have been illegal. There was certainly not enough evidence to prove it was. But that does not mean what they did wasn’t morally reprehensible. The NHL and Hockey Canada both agreed.

The NHL kept the players out of the league for months PAST the ruling, citing their own private investigation. Hockey Canada stood in the House of Commons and said “harm was caused” after paying out a civil settlement.

But what Hart did was more than morally wrong. He lied under oath to protect his teammates. This is actually perjury. The judge by law is not privy to those 2022 confessions, but we as a public are. We are allowed to pass judgement in the court of public opinion.

Hart is not a conquering hero who overcame adversity. He is a liar who abused his privilege and legal protection to obstruct justice. He is allowed to continue his career, and we are allowed to remind him of his abhorrent behaviour.

carter hart lifting the stanley cup before connor mcdavid would feel less like a sports outcome and more like a biblical proof that we were abandoned by god a very long time ago

Sorry, but Toews being nominated for a sportsmanship award, after helped cover up the sexual abuse of Kyle Beach in Chicago, is completely tone deaf.
