If there was only the instance of the racist remarks and nothing else, I could envision a scenario where he might be suspended, ordered to undergo sensitivity training and publicly apologize to Aliu and for the comments and be able to remain with the organization.
I guess I should have asked AFC if he was only specifically talking about high profile public positions when it comes to firing someone for past racist conduct or if he meant generally (as I took it). I'm genuinely curious if there are a lot of people that would agree with people being fired with cause for those types of past actions with different organizations. That seems like a bad idea to me, but I'm open to hearing other views.

Depends on the circumstances, I might hire someone who had a known racist past if they had spent ten years going through a journey of self discovery and were open about where they had come from and how they had changed, I wouldn't hire someone who was a proud boy whether they had used the n word or not, I don't want to be around that myself and I am looking after mostly non white kids so that belief structure makes them unable to do the work I need done.
The Flames also have a PR side they have to pay attention too
