My problem is the whole 'he apologized for the incident 10 years ago.' One side is lying, and to me the whole thing stinks now.

Well, it's definitely always been stinky! But that's really the only cause for pause I have here too... and I think there's a bunch out there that are waiting before we launch into evaluating what to do with Bill Peters. Will be interesting to hear what comes out of that meeting with the NHL
I think we can all agree that if the dust settles, and Akim's allegation of the events is 100% accurate we are right to resume "get him the hell out of here", and "why-oh-why did we ever have to encounter him". Again, someone please educate me if I'm wrong, but the corroboration from 2 teammates was that the incident happened. The details, actions taken, etc, etc could alter
*to me* who 2019 Bill Peters is.
So I'm clear, even if it was the most innocent and apologized for offence... I still do have a hard time seeing him as the Calgary Flames coach with this mud on him. But, even this story coming out has provided a few examples of people I very much respect stupidly stumbling over how to handle the n-word. To be entirely honest, I haven't much loved some people's attempts to censor the word in these threads.
So we're all standing in the same camp. I promise. I hope this post doesn't make some people uneasy about posting amongst Flames fans anymore...
