Fans absolutely shred Chicago Blackhawks after their latest slap in the face to Kyle Beach

The Blackhawks are taking a beating on social media, and for good reason.

As if the damage that the Chicago Blackhawks organization inflicted upon Kyle Beach by refusing to intervene after he was sexually assaulted by former video coach Brad Aldrich during the 2010 Stanley Cup Playoffs, they sunk even lower today by attempting to dismiss the lawsuit that he filed against them .

“Mr. Beach argues that his failure to timely file this lawsuit is excused because he repressed memories of the assault, but this claim cannot toll the statute of limitations,” the Blackhawks wrote in their motion.

“Despite the passage of more than a decade since the alleged sexual assault and repeated instances in which he dealt with consequences from the incident, Mr. Beach argues that his claims are timely because he repressed memories relating to the sexual assault until July 2019, when his memories ‘were revived by learning that Aldrich had been arrested and sentenced in a subsequent sexual assault case,’” the team wrote.

"Mr. Beach knew immediately in May 2010 that he had been assaulted; that the assault was wrongful; and that he had been harmed by it. He cannot toll the statute of limitations by claiming repressed memory."

And it wasn't long before fans immediately began shredding the Blackhawks on social media for once again dropping the ball big time.
