I think I share some of Tambo Graduate's reservations, maybe or maybe not for the same reasons.
My worry is that this site becomes just a place to vent or complain, in which case it ends up doing more harm than good. However, if it's a place where we can identify a group of voices willing to speak up through the telling of their stories here, then an actual effort could be made to confront NTM about its handling of abuse issues, or about abusers still on the field. If the later is the case, than for me it's certainly worth speaking up.
Just because Tambo is no longer a school or even owned by NTM doesn't change the responsibility to deal with the abuse that happened there over the years, the responsibility to correct the missteps taken in handling abuse there, the responsibility to the abused from over the years, and the responsibility to confront abusers who are on or off the field.
