Quoted from 27dnast:It's going to be interesting to see how Stern reacts. In my opinion, they need to address the situation and condem pedophiles/exploration of minors/child pornography. They'd also be wise to say that JT has been relieved of his responsibilities while the legal system and its processes run its course. Say they are saddened and upset, because JT has been a mainstay and friend of the industry.
Hiding, staying silent, and not wanting to address it would be a huge mistake.
Unless this somehow turns into a situation where we find out that Stern was aware of JT's problem (a la Penn State), Stern shouldn't be afraid of taking a public stance against the issue. In fact, once the legal process is over, they should host a tournament to raise money for anti-child pornography causes... d
Or donate a portion of profits from JT's forth coming game... somethijg along those lines.
They do but timing is important. At this stage they have an employee that is accused and is going through the court process. They can make general statements like Stern does not support pedophilia or something like that but cannot make a specific reference to John Trudeau until after he was proven guilty. When that happens, immediate termination is their only course followed by a much stronger statement.
