Perspective time on a Tuesday morning.

Earlier this year, I was speaking with someone on the condition of anonymity and they told me that while interviewing for a job in the NHL, accusations were made about their sexual orientation in a derogatory manner.

The accusations were false, but that& #39;s absolutely not important. So when this particular club started to fall apart internally, I vaguely mentioned to someone with another club that this had happened. And they told me not to spread lies, because they "didn& #39;t believe it at all."

They asked for more details. I told them I had promised I wouldn& #39;t share those, to protect the person who had been demeaned and stereotyped. And instead of questioning how those stories happen, I was told off for & #39;spreading damaging rumors& #39;.

If you are not the victim, you don& #39;t get to decide what stories get reported.
If you are not the victim, you don& #39;t get to decide what details get shared.
If you are the person blowing the whistle, you don& #39;t get to decide who believes you.

What a disappointing week.
