I don't blame the Caps or the NHL. They will do what the money tells them to do.
I'm just making a comment on society in general. The reason Brendan is now unemployable in hockey and maybe period, is because we created this horrific culture where people are judged for every word they use. Even when they are said in private, as was this case.
Most people would probably read this story, and just say "rude comments, who cares?" Acting like it's some microcosm for women's rights or equitable treatment is nauseating IMO.
And if the Caps want to bend over to political correctness, I get it. It's fine. But the bigger problem to me is every person who now tweets some comment acting like they know Brendan as a person and can pass judgment on him. Because that's what now snowballs and makes it so a company like the Washington Capitals has to bend over to political correctness. Meanwhile I would bet tons of money that many of the people who are saying I would never associate myself with anything that has Brendan's name on it, likely have many texts where they are saying equally rude things.
People should go back to not being so sensitive about every little thing.
Reasonable position to take. I understand people being fed up with the cancel culture or with the Blue Checkmark Brigade on Twitter that seems to make a living looking to call people out for everything they view as an indiscretion or insensitive.
That said, like it or not it is the world we live in and it's on people to act responsibly accordingly.
