I believe its waaay beyond football and hockey. You're going to find creepy old men preying on young boys - or even just young, adult men - anywhere that adults have authority over youths.
This abuse is prevalent in every sport (except maybe NASCAR and UFC...), in all religions, in your schools, in your youth groups, in your Boy Scouts.
Pedophiles will hunt down - and aquire - these positions of power and influence. And they should all be put to death.

Disagree. The real issue is that these sports are considered sacred (football in America, hockey in Canada). Even more so now than actual religion.
Tempting fact to gloss over and make it about power, but what made these monsters so untouchable is a) money and b) "local pride" in whatever stupid city with whatever shitty sports team.
not an issue, in schools or public organizations as those are just plain old coverups.
