I wanted to clarify my comment since my comment is so unpopular. I’m not saying that the Flames are particularly racist or that I know the Flames have discriminated against Kylington on the basis of race. I’m saying it wouldn’t surprise me if either of those things is true because I believe implicit or unconscious biases pervade humanity in general, me included. I think -isms and -phobias are things we all must fight for the sake of a better world, and the Flames may be leaders in that fight for all I know. Treliving certainly did a good job of the Peters’ situation.

You think an organization whose greatest player ever was black is racist? His number is hanging in the rafters and the club has done nothing but praise and admire him. I am not buying it, not at all. Kylington is where he is because he skates good, and nothing else.
