This opens a door than may never be closed. I'm not a fan of Peters, but him getting sacked for something that was done a decade ago is just bad business IMO.
Bad business?!

Keeping him is bad business.

Imagine your next draft interview with players who are african-american or have african ancestry? "Yeah, coach used the N word but that was a long time ago shrug emoji"

"Hi Cammi, we really want to sign you as a free agent and yeah our general manager used to hate Jews but that was a long time ago, so sign here please..."

Not sure what line of business you're in.
