I can see why some people are disappointed in how this was handled today from a Flames perspective. It felt like there was a lot of 'cover my ass' dismissal that was separate from any negotiated settlement.

Agreed. And look I totally accept that it's very complicated with labour laws, contracts, legal teams and media being involved. So it's asinine of folks to suggest anyone is saying the team should have come out and called HIM a racist bastard and nailed him.
But this is how systemic bias and racism gets entrenched. Because, you know, we'd love to say it's racist and really get behind the player and expressly denounce racism, but we can't.. you know contracts/legal vulnerability etc. It's disappointing.
I'm also not saying Tree's a bad guy or anything.
