Yup. Aside from the fact that it is literally impossible to argue this puts Manning in material breach of his contract, the NHL and its minor leagues already have a history of relatively minor fines and suspensions for slurs. The NHL doesn't work on precedents, but the legal system sure does.
Sorry, Oiling, but "material breach" has a meaning. And that meaning isn't "I don't like what he did."
