While he still hasn’t been charged by the Vancouver Police Department even after turning himself in, confessing and publicly apologizing for being a colossal dumbass, Water Polo Canada has handed down an appropriate punishment to Nathan Kotylak:
He will also be ineligible to receive Sport Canada funding during the two-year period.
For those just tuning in, Nathan Kotylak is the brilliant young man showcased this now-infamous photo:
Good.
The VPD still hasn’t charged a single rioter, although they’re promising they’ll get around to it in early November or so. In the meantime, it’s nice to see some real-world consequences landing on the heads of at least some of the rioters, especially since there’s now zero confidence that the police will actually do anything beyond a wrist slap and a fine that mom and dad will take care of.
The internet never forgets.
Update: Apparently it doesn’t really matter that he’s been banned from playing in Canada, because he plays for a US team now. They didn’t care that he took part in the riots and tried to destroy the city and ruin Vancouver for fun, he “deserved a second chance“. How nice for them and for Nathan Kotylak, Cop-Car burning rioter. How proud he must be.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaany time now, karma.
