Poor Sens about to lose another 1st round pick.

 

[Sniperberg]

Ah. The Chicago Sexual Assault-enthusiasts strikes again.
Maybe the league are going to give them another 1OA-pick again?

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Wow. This organization is rotten.

 

[stl76]

Better give them Celebrini.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

The winner of the 2025 draft lottery is…

 

[hi]

I think it's time to start the Blackhawks relocation process

 

[CanadienShark]

Oh yikes. I figured this may have been an old incident dating back to their other big scandal. Nope. More reason to dislike that organization.

fold the franchise and make a new owner pay for a chicago expansion team

I’ve seen frivolous lawsuits before but whew

Even given your history of "having seen frivolous lawsuits before", I'm genuinely impressed that you're able to judge the merits of this specific lawsuit solely based on what's reported in this one media source.

In light of this recent development, the league has decided to award the Chicago Blackhawks first overall pick while maintaining their 2nd overall pick for the trauma this lawsuit will cause. They will also receive the 7th overall pick from Ottawa because f*** them.

That organization is top notch, a true representation of rotted carcass boys club that the NHL is comprised of. Even if we question the merits and motivations of this individual, they still used their charitable foundation to pay off a tribe so that they wouldn't have to rebrand from their racist logo.

Done. Looks like they cut her out and essentially paid the tribe for its support. In a vacuum, I could see this as a Nothingburger. But it's not in a vacuum. There is always a lot of smoke coming from the the Hawks organization.

That said, the sexual harrassment stuff is big.

They also gifted the tribe a Blackhawk helicopter…for some reason

This is America 2024 where you are guilty until proven innocent in the court of public opinion. Even then it wouldn't matter if you are innocent, the stink remains.

I just enjoy the meme of the Blackhawks can do no wrong and are gifted everything.

I am glad to hear that you’re impressed, that’s always been my goal

I will not speculate, no sir.

"I think it became clear that there was no intention to change the logo," Sanders said. "I felt like they basically used me."

...

"Sanders is no longer working for the team, and she said it goes beyond her opposition to the logo. In her lawsuit filed Tuesday night, she alleges breach of oral contract, fraud, sexual harassment and violation of the Gender Violence Act, among other allegations.

"I feel abused, traumatized, used," Sanders said.

There's a clear and apparently admitted throughline that I think will be very difficult gaslight away here.

If there's one thing we can know to a certainty, it's that opportunistic and frivolous identity politics have little room to grow in Chicago's political soil.

I realize who the organization is but this is honestly a nothing story, cliff notes:

1. Brought in as part of a group to improve relations between Hawks organization and native Americans, says the name is racist and must be changed.
2. Hawks say no and (after donating a wad of cash and a FREAKIN HELICOPTER, THATS SICK) the groups agree and no longer want the name changed.
3. She still wants them to change their name, so they constructively dismiss her
4. Once this happens she accuses someone of sexual harassment despite never mentioning it at the time to anyone.
5. The accused doesn't work for the Hawks, just someone attached to a company they hired as part of this outreach.

It's like if Applebee's used Hire Waiters LLC to hire all their staff, and at a store location, one waiter harassed another. Should Applebee's be held liable in this scenario? No IMO.

It’s like getting a job at McDonalds because you love the McRib and the manager said they’re thinking of keeping it full time and then suing them when they take it off the menu

Can Batman step in and appoints Celebrini to Blackhawks with Ottawa's first round pick. I know all is very wrong in this post
