Many eyes and ears were on the employers of the (alleged...) perpetrator. Statements by the federation and the #SLCC were extremely disappointing exercises in self-exculpation that just showed how little support they offered to anyone who tried to flag instances of misconduct or assault. More interesting and helpful was the very recent C-Squared Podcast with Fabiano Caruana who as the most prominent associate of Mr. Ramirez in the last few years is very close to the situation and actually gives some insights in the environment.
While the openness in that regard is highly appreicated, I do think that the statement still falls way short in terms of introspection what the individual players are doing/not doing. Not everyone is a #predator but certainly a lot of us are part of the 'jungle' in which a predator can hide.
