Me too. I know the team's had a rocky 1/4 to start the season. But I really believed with the right players he could have gotten the team where it needed to be. Last season was one of the best ever. I thought it was only a matter of time before they started clicking again.
But in the year 2019, there is absolutely no room for racism in this country. 5, 10, 20 years ago. Doesn't matter. It's one thing if he would have apologized to Akim immediately after in his office. I could live with the team keeping him on board if he showed remorse right after. Instead, he drops more racism right to the kid's face. People at that age don't change. If they do, they are definitely the outliers and those are few and far in between.
Canada for the most part is a pretty tolerant society. But there's still people stuck with racist mentalities. You could even see in on some CP members in the other BP thread or anytime race discussions pop up. Sadly it's never going to go away. But thankfully the good outweights the bad.
Absolutely the right decision to let him go. And this coming from a huge Peters fan.
