I'm sure he didn't see it going this way when he pressed send on his original tweet, but when Geragos & Geragos calls you and tells you what you "could" get, you probably listen. No one should criticize him for that. We'd all listen. |
My take on this is that if the story Aliu has been telling is accurate, then he is absolutely entitled to seek further compensation. Remember that this is not just about racism. It is also about racist remarks uttered by a coach who abused his power, and was a direct contributor to derailing the career of a very promising young player. I think the claims Aliu have been making are that we’re it not for Peters (among others) his hockey career would have unfolded much differently.
