I understand everyone will feel compelled to jump to their conclusions and everyone has a right to their opinion, but I would like to address some of the posts as this is my son who I love very much and support him regardless of what he chooses to wear because he is a compassionate, caring, law biding individual.

He doesn't live at home, he's gainfully employed, highly intelligent, extremely creative, pays his taxes, abides by the law, and is an incredible skateboarder. I was going to take pictures of him at the competition when I found he hurt himself. I met him at the hospital and witnessed the events as they unfolded. He was just trying to get admitted and was polite at ALL times. The hospital has yet to respond, but he was undeniably discriminated against which is wrong. His removal request was not to aid in any procedure as he was still in emergency trying to get admission.

Judge this as you wish, but bigotry in health care is abominable.

Cannot agree more.

Oh right, any chance to bash religion.

A lot of people are taking his words at face value.

So typical. precious Flame's prospect gets charged with a serious assault, and people want to hear the full story, wait until it goes to court, wait until he's convicted before they form an opinion.

But this guy obviously gets the benefit of the doubt, he seems like a real winner.

This post is so stupid that the real Jarome Iginla should sue you for defamation, lest someone believe you to be the same person.
