I don't think the league 'approves' signings like you imply - the league certainly isn't conducting a background check on every ELC. They register and track them, but it's on the teams to do due diligence.
Just like at the draft...the league didn't do anything to prevent the drafting of Mailloux.

I think the disability is the bigger issue with the nature of the bullying. Use of the N-word certainly amplifies it, though.
