2 am in Ottawa.
Reflecting.
Yesterday I saw #FreedomConvoy2022 members:

Defecate on the road
Harass seniors wearing masks
Demand the PM’s hanging
Call a young woman a “dirty whore”

Oh & they burned a Canadian flag.

They call themselves patriots.

[Bothered Boy🏴🚩Back on my Bullsh*t @BotheredBoy]

But yeah, it's totally about freedom and not hateful at all. 🙄#OttawaOccupation

[Mark Lazerus @MarkLazerus]

The team just settled two sexual-assault lawsuits.

The team is losing.

Attendance is down.

And Rocky Wirtz is irate that reporters are asking questions about negative things.

[Mario Tirabassi @Mario_Tirabassi]

Can't imagine the volume of calls the #Blackhawks are getting/going to get from season-ticket holders looking to end their relationships with the team after tonight

[Craig Simpson @hnicsimmer]

I’m speechless. How do you confront the issues of the past, with that kind of response for the future.

[Sportsnet @Sportsnet]

"Here's a perfect example to explain why and how you can be better."

@SNCaroline, @jtbourne, and @StuMunrue discuss Blackhawks principal owner and chairman Rocky Wirtz's tense exchange with reporters when asked how the team is going to work to empower players in the future.

[Katie Strang @KatieJStrang]

This is an entirely reasonable (and relevant!) question. The response speaks volumes.

[Mario Tirabassi @Mario_Tirabassi]

Rocky Wirtz doesn't give a shit about transparency.
#Blackhawks

[Jeff Marek @JeffMarek]

This is beyond shameful.

[Scott Powers @ByScottPowers]

The Blackhawks have talked a lot about being transparent. Rocky Wirtz is clearly not onboard with that.

[Adam Wylde @AdamWylde]

If I owned the Blackhawks and my chairman just acted like that publicly after two sexual assault settlements, four bad seasons, and precipitous attendance drops... he would have to step down

In this case, Rocky Wirtz is Owner and Chairman.

He can no longer be the latter.

[Rick Westhead @rwesthead]

Blackhawks ownership on Dec. 1 in announcing Beach settlement: "We remain steadfast in our commitment to ensure that, going forward, this team will be a beacon for professionalism, respect and integrity in our community."

[Mario Tirabassi @Mario_Tirabassi]

The entire #Blackhawks organization should be absolutely embarrassed by the display from Rocky Wirtz tonight.
Utterly disgraceful.

[Collin Ashby @CollinAshby]

That Rocky Wirtz answer tells you all you need to know about the Blackhawks organization. They don’t give a single fuck about what happened to Kyle Beach and want it swept under the rug. They’re probably angry at him for coming forward. This organization is a cancer to sports.

[Jez @Zer0PucksGiven]

Someone should tell Rocky Wirtz that Kyle Beach can't just move on so the Blackhawks sure as shit can't either.

This whole exchange is absolutely deplorable. Gutless prick

[Brent Wallace @localpodcaster]

This is wild. Not hard to see how the Kyle Beach story got buried by the Blackhawks. What leadership.
