NHL commissioner says it's not 'necessary' to suspend NHL players charged with sexual assault

Well that certainly is a take….

It was a really weird conversation anyway

all are away from their teams atm

why wouldn’t we pay them

none of them are on a team

^ assume he means after this year but he didn’t say that and it doesn’t mean anything

And yeah he’s not going to suspend players for being under investigation, especially not in this case where the union will have to look evil by defending them. But why not just say that?

Apparently some people are not assuming their innocence which further illustrates why you don’t want to get into a fight with the union

Suspensions while under investigation make sense when a person is in a role where their job is to interact with potential victims.

Having a policy that suspends employees while they are under investigation increases opposition to investigations.

Like there wasn’t opposition to this investigation from the start? 🤔

If they suspended all of the players who have committed sexual assault, no one would be able to field a team.
