Winnipeg Rifles president resigns over P.K. Subban post.

The president of the Winnipeg Rifles has resigned after coming under fire for a Facebook post he calls "a poor attempt at humour" that used a picture of a vendor at Bell MTS Place to make fun of P.K. Subban.

In the post, Todd Wilson said "Two nights ago he was in game 7. Now PK Suban is selling me beer." The post includes a photo of the vendor, who like Subban happens to be black, as the Jets were playing the Vegas Golden Knights in the opening game of the Stanley Cup Western Conference finals.

I'm not saying Todd Wilson is a racist but his Facebook post was racial in nature and in poor taste so it should be no surprise to anyone that people would be offended.

I'm sure we'll hear from the apologists here.
