Power Play: The Toxic Side of Sports Culture and Hidden Abuse
This video dives into the dark underbelly of elite sports teams, using the novel 'Power Play' by Alley Ciz as a lens. Author Alley Ciz, known for her BTU Alumni series, explores the story of Jordan Donnelly, a woman trapped by her brother's hockey team's 'no dating teammates' rule after a violent breakup with a player. We uncover how team loyalty can become a cage, how digital stalking and physical assault thrive in plain sight, and how abuse doesn't just hurt one person—it can tear apart an entire team's chemistry. From the shocking control dynamics to the hidden safety threats, this analysis reveals the real cost of toxic sports culture. Watch to understand the hidden dangers and the path to redemption.
