Well there wouldn't be an internet mob if he didn't bully the kid. So I 'm not about to blame Al Gore for creating the internet.
There probably wouldn't be an internet mob if he even just apologized before being drafted. It was the family coming out to condemn him that really got this story (known for literally years) going mainstream.
The balls in his court now, he can play victim and believe he was wronged by the internet or he can try and become a better person, maybe even actually redeem himself and end up playing professional hockey for a living. But there is some positives to this. Those who want to blame his parents, well now the next racist hockey parents that come along will know they can't behave the same way if they want their kid to succeed in the NHL, the next racist up and coming sport star will know he doesn't just have to take a 10 minute diversity training video if he gets caught being a racist. Even the kid who replaces him on the hockey team(s) that Miller would have been on is hopefully more deserving of a person.
