It's bad that I saw Western and immediately thought it was another Michigan university with issues in its athletic depts.

This is still bad and should not have happened. Seriously, do these people not pay any attention to things outside their house to know what is and is not acceptable behavior? Do they not have safeguarding classes that people take? Maybe they should.

I don’t disagree but if the situation was really as innocuous as described by Babcock and Jenner, how could anyone misinterpret it as nefarious? Either someone is lying or the players are (rightfully) so suspicious of Babcock that they cannot in good faith take anything he does at face value. Probably shouldn’t have hired this guy!

Obviously somebody on the Jackets heard about the photo sharing thing from Jenner and was upset enough about it to leak it to a podcast. Owns that he gets 0 benefit of the doubt, the miserable prick.

I graduated from Western in 2019, and the key speaker at convocation opened with "when I first came here, there were lawn signs everywhere saying 'thank you parents for leaving your daughters here'" and was met with silence from the crowd. It also got blasted in the campus paper and even got mentioned in a few papers across the country in the sense of "you know, you'd think someone would've gone over their script and told them 'uuuuhhhhhh maybe don't make sexual harassment jokes?' but obviously not"

Bissonnette has been an idiot best known for saying stupid poo poo dating back to the days when he was also a hockey player.

This is an enforcer who got into a staged fight five minutes into a playoff game and got tossed for not tying his jersey down.

It's possible that he wants to see who is going out partying and drinking in order to determine which players he wants to run out of town.

Babcock was an old-timey rear end in a top hat coach who both had to clean up his act and has to reckon with a younger generation of players who respond to positive encouragement. He's also been in the world of hockey for decades and is meeting a younger generation of the fraternity of hockey men, which is likely many of the people in his life, and what do all of them care about and talk about for decades? Their families. It's also nice to get to know people you're going to be working and traveling with for a solid half a year at a time, to know about their families they're away from, and to let them know you care.

tl;dr 60-year-old man relates to other men by sharing family photos, using latest technology.

Well in addition to a whole bunch of people not wanting to bad mouth mates and/or future employers, it’s pretty hard to make it a two sides story. Sure someone will write some kind of dumb garbage but most sports news can’t quite get to rape = not so bad, so it’s pretty hard to generate clicks.

This however is great Facebook material, clash of generations, mobile phone usage, some vague speculation about players partying. All makes for great engagement and numbers of comments on the socials. And isn’t that what sports is all about!

I mean how does Airplaying photos to a tv work? Can you just throw up the pics you want or do you have to scroll through the whole photo roll while people watch?

Easiest way is just mirror your phone , but you can set it ahead of time and can turn AirPlay off and on if you are getting to pictures you need to scroll past you don’t want others to see.

Or just show an album you created with whatever family pictures.

Like, it’s weird versus just showing the picture on your phone, but I guess they have the time.

Bissonette is a moron:

“Bissonnette, in a follow-up social-media post, did not back down from the way he portrayed the story on the podcast. In fact, he said, he’d had “tons of players confirm it.” Contacted by The Athletic, Bissonnette disputed Babcock’s denial with a profanity.”


lol at Portzline just reporting Bissonette’s response on what it was.
