I think people who believe that this situation should only allow opinions of sunshine and kindness need to wake up. I don't see Aliu's or Carter's comments as being definitive or one more worthy of than the other, so I'm not sure why it's not ok to call Carter's comments embarrassing and question them with harshness, while calling Aliu's comments "idiotic and unfair."
I didn't say he doesn't get his idiotic opinion. I stand by that its an unfair indictment of Carter. Because Carter was ok with hockey games being played doesn't dictate what he thinks or how much he cares about social issues. I mean Aliu basically stopped short of calling the guy a sellout.
