I had to have a very difficult conversation with my cousin recently. She's a women's studies university student. She's bright, talented, beautiful, witty, charming and funny. She's also a Chicago Blackhawks fan.
Our conversations are mostly good-natured banter, centering around hockey. We poke jabs at one another's favourite teams and players, and congratulate one another on fantasy league successes. It's usually light-hearted, and always in good fun. It was hard to hear that she was struggling with the news that Patrick Kane isthe subject of a rape investigation. What's more, she was struggling with the fact that the franchise that she loves so much doesn't seem to care.
