i say some of this is true because sometimes it's not an "entire team" that revolts. it's one or more outspoken members. that "bully" the rest to go along.
one person that might do that is charity williams.
she of the ACAB mural.
Victoria Police Department and the City of Victoria declined an interview request for this story.
Williams says she will not allow the artwork to be changed or altered in any way.

^ sounds like something a bully would say. "my way or the highway". if i want to write ACAB on the public art, nobody can change it.
someone selfish like that on the team - or in the locker room - is very toxic. more so than a "tough as nails" coach like shields or tait.

The organizer behind a mural that sparked months of discussions with the City of Victoria about censorship says she’s disappointed the mural is being altered.
“We are in the midst of erasing, erasing lived experiences and people’s voices, and also an artist’s work. It’s disappointing. But this is also a step forward,” said Charity Williams.
The mural, painted in August, spells out More Justice, More Peace and has been the center of discussion after Victoria Police Chief Del Manak opposed the acronym ACAB – which stands for All Cops Are Bastards – that was included in one letter.
On Wednesday a group of artists came together to black out the letter that included the acronym. To replace ‘ACAB’ there are now three eagle feathers. The phrase: “This letter has been censored by the City of Victoria influenced by the Victoria Police Department. In doing so, Victoria is contributing to the silencing of Black and Indigenous voices and experiences across this land,” is also to be added.
