He got heat for posing with a stack of bills in Vegas. Had nothing to do with race, it was because shortly after he declared bankruptcy and had gambling issues, ###### bag move. Stories about his domestic life, where his wife accused him of stuff just made it easy to pile on as it came so close to his gambling stuff (even if she was proven to be a liar). Acting like an ass in Winnipeg where his teammates couldn't stand him and leaving restaurants without paying, douce bag move.
He can't seem to stay out of the way of trouble. Gets back to Van, ends up in a stupid bikini bar and gets punched. The first thought that comes to mind is WTF is he doing already (until the story comes out that he was sticking up for one of the female staff). He really needs to learn to stay out of these situations. I honestly never heard of any issues in Edmonton, he seemed to take his domestic life more serious and stayed out of trouble.

You never heard of any issues while he was with Edmonton because the "state media" in Edmonton would have covered it up. I have no doubt that he got into trouble while playing in Edmonton. It was just never reported on because any media that would paint an Oiler player in a bad light in that city would have their media credentials yanked so fast it would make their heads spin.
