- Peters should be fired. This has gotten too big now, that even if he addressed it with the team and the fans appropriately, the damage is done and he needs to go.

Note he doesn’t say that Akim was in the room when he apologized. He says he was confronted for the language and immediately went and apologized to the team. This is interesting language to use. No mention of Akim was present and not mention if being confronted on it was his speaking with Akim or other players. This letter is not a detailed account of what happened and doesn’t conflict with Akim stating he never apologized to him.
So based on current information both statements could be truthful.
