And her husband later choked said coach on the field in front of her kid's team
It's unfortunate that the lazy media just swallows the stories of a vengeful woman hook line and sinker and treats them as fact.

As if that singular incident weren't enough, here are excerpts from a few articles, the first being the original 2020 Athletic article:
Quote:
Miller provided a copy of his apology to each of the 31 NHL teams with his letter earlier this year.
One problem: Meyer-Crothers said the family has never received an apology from Miller, handwritten or otherwise.
“You would think if he were truly remorseful, that the apology would be sent to the person whose life he affected, not just the NHL teams,” Meyer-Crothers said. “We never received it. Never saw it.”

Why, when it has been made clear that the victim and their family were willing to forgive the other abuser based on their actions and remorse, would they make this up just to ruin another kid?
And from the original Arizona Republic article:
Quote:
Meyer-Crothers, also 18 and who now lives in Detroit, said Miller had taunted him for years, constantly calling him "brownie" and the "N-word," while repeatedly hitting him while growing up in the Toledo suburb. Other students at their junior high confirmed to police that Miller repeatedly used the "N-word" in referring to Meyer-Crothers.
"He pretended to be my friend and made me do things I didn't want to do," Meyer-Crothers said in a phone interview. "In junior high, I got beat up by him. … Everyone thinks he's so cool that he gets to go to the NHL, but I don't see how someone can be cool when you pick on someone and bully someone your entire life."
|
That's straight from the victim's mouth, as well as other students who had witnessed the ongoing abuse.
It continues:
Quote:
Joni Meyer-Crothers said the other boy broke down in tears while personally apologizing to her son, yet Miller has never personally apologized, she said, other than the court-mandated letter.
The Coyotes sent The Republic a copy of the letter that Miller claimed to have given to the victim and his family. The family said on Friday they never received the letter.

Sure looks like she acknowledges the court-mandated "apology" and she is implying that it had the sincerity of a grocery list. Again, not sure what justification you have claiming she's lying to have never received it. The court claiming they sent it doesn't mean the family got it.
It's curious why you're focusing on her credibility while Miller and his agent have recently made official statements they worked or spoke with particular groups when that, in fact, proved to be false. No room for scrutiny there?
I have no idea why particular posters have such an allergy when it comes to reading articles.
