Sexual harassment is still sexual harassment.
If Guerin stood by while this happened, he's just as culpable. I also deleted it, because I don't want to go down that road.
So, we're going to ignore the potential allegations here because it seems like this lawsuit is shady? Regardless of Skalde was fired justly or not, they need to investigate Donatelli's behavior within the organization and these allegations. If Guerin knew that this was going on and ignored them, he is just as guilty and needs to be removed from his position. But they need to do a thorough investigation of what happened and if there were more incidences. Predators like Donatelli don't just suddenly wake up and go, hey I'm going to start sexually harassing my fellow employees. Look at guys like Cosby and Weinstein; the rumors were always there.
So, because Skalde's case has no merit, they shouldn't conduct an investigation into potential wrongdoings by the organization?
That's like saying, they shouldn't investigate someone for embezzling millions of dollars from a company, because the accuser was also caught stealing from the register.
Regardless if this lawsuit has merits or not, the NHL and outside investigators need to do a thorough investigation so that when an actual legitimate case does pop up,
it isn't shouted down.
