Hockey journalists remain ignorant of women's issues

This hasn't been a good summer for NHL fans, made all the worse by the league and media response.

Slava Voynov has voluntarily left the country in order to avoid deportation after going to jail for domestic violence. Mike Ribeiro settled a civil suit where a former employee accused him of sexual assault. There is currently a grand jury in session, deciding on whether or not to charge Patrick Kane for sexual assault.

Instead of being proactive in dealing with these cases of domestic violence and sexual assault, the league has sat back and done largely nothing.
