Wow. Spent the last few days up the coast in Mendocino and was off the grid. Did not expect to come back to this news.
Very happy to see the Flames taking this as seriously as it should be, and that they reacted right away. Peters is done, and he should be.
I read through this thread, lots of great thoughts and comments. One thing that I think hasn't had enough emphasis is the context of Peters' comments. His racist comments targeted a player, and he was in a position of power when he made them. This is one thing that makes Peters' act far worse than slurs spoken by players while on the ice. Doesn't excuse the latter, but makes a big difference in my opinion.
