Re: Fandom Venting

You are confusing them. They aren't cofounders. Patrick is a founder, along with two other guys, and is no longer involved in the day-to-day. Brian Burke is not a founder, but is on the YCP advisory board.

Just because YCP is what is is because of the Burkes doesn't justify the Burkes holding onto those positions in perpetuity. It might be true that the Burkes have more authority and are more likely to be listened to by NHL players, but if they're going to feed the players this apolitical, toothless, watered down version of what LGBTQ+ inclusivity looks like, they're doing harm as well as good. If the Burkes' only upside is that they made the message more palatable... idk, I don't want to say that that isn't valuable or there isn't a role for that, but that doesn't justify YCP's current problems. White people are way more receptive to learning about racism from white people, but that doesn't justify white people leading anti-racist movements. YCP is the organization that was formed, but we can want YCP and the league to do and be better, and eventually they will have to, for real change to happen.
