I'm not going to defend what he did or slander anyone involved.

Sad it happened. Glad he resigned. Sadder that this is part of the legacy he's leaving behind after achieving what must've been the high point of his career. Cancer is a horrible way to go. But to know you're going and this is the last impression of your career?

I feel a lot of empathy for the situation.

But he did have to go, because what he did was very, very out of bounds.
