Without sober second thought we descend into mob justice.
I did exactly that.

Then this sober second thought came to mind.

If Bill will use this language in a dressing room, and has to be called out by his players... I wonder what kind of language Bill Peters uses when he’s around his friends and colleagues. Racial stereotypes and language don’t arise out of thin air.

I acknowledge that he’s probably grown as a person in 10 years, but that doesn’t change how he hurt people in the past and hasn’t atoned for it.

Yeah we all make mistakes & have regrets. The solution is to own them. As soon as possible, in the moment. It’s always the coverup that gets treated worse than the actual act.

He didn’t handle the incidents adequately. He’s learning a hard lesson now.

How you treat people on your way up is how they will treat you on your way down.
