FWIW, I don't think Bill Peters is a racist.

I do, however, believe that he is a bully that has tried to intimidate players through offensive language, taunts and even physical contact. This is not things in the distant past; there have been numerous examples of these actions at just his last coaching stop.

Peters should not be coaching the Flames. An apology after you have been caught red-handed isn't an apology made out of remorse; its an apology made for self-preservation

This doesn't mean he should not be coaching hockey ever again. No one is beyond the opportunity for rehabilitation so long as they are honest and truly contrite about their past behavior.
