I enjoy TSL so much, I have a hard time waiting for newest video. TSL is informative, friendly, and articulate. The latest videos on Coughlin's suicide, SafeSport and the role of the journalist were measured and professional. I found them impressive for their sensitivity; there was no snark or cattiness, just an attempt to inform. Mind-blowing that a journalist (even if you don't like Dave's journalism) can have death threats slung at him.
I haven't heard anyone blame Coughlin for his death; instead, it's anyone but. No one else was responsible for his decision to end his own life, but him. That seems to have been very readily forgotten in this case.
One of the most difficult fallouts of suicide, IMO, is that survivors have to deal with rage as well as grief. And the rage often gets inappropriately re-directed at people on the sidelines. I hope Dave, Christine Brennan, the SafeSport accusers stay safe; it's appalling that they've become victims in this.
Me too. Wished there was a way to open the videos up (maybe not for commenting) to subscribers from before the current scandal. That would seem a safe, well-meaning and appreciative crowd. I can't believe how people like Dave who regularly spent so much time helping the sport stay relevant, find themselves fearing for their safety. Hope it blows over soon. Thanks for the videos while they lasted, Dave.
