I'm glad Tallon was cleared, not because I care about Tallon, but I appreciate that he isn't one more racist person in a world that needs fewer. I think his comment about just seeing Dumba as a hockey player, while awkward and ignorant and definitely a well actual racists go to in order to cover for their own racism, was genuine. In my experience with seniors, even the ones with good hearts aren't going to say things "right" most often, but if their intentions are good, that's all you can ask.

To be fair, I don't think the vast majority of people would articulate themselves well when questioned about an accusation like that.
I know that I've heard players and media speak extremely highly of Tallon for years as a hockey guy and as a person, so I really have a hard time buying any of it.
