Peters himself confirmed it happened in his apology letter.

Most of us aren't NHL coaches that work in a highly visible leadership position where we interact with the media on a daily basis so honestly, most of us probably wouldn't be fired if it came out that we said something racist ten years ago.
Bill Peters has made millions of dollars coaching young adults to play a game. Yes it sucks for him and his family but I think he'll be fine.

Are you saying they weren't successful in fairly assessing all the facts...?
