"Obviously inappropriate and not professional in anyway" is a huge understatement. I think "hateful, corrosive, abusive, and completely unacceptable" is closer to the mark.

Pretty much no way Peters can deny the allegations at this point. Looks like he'll be fired.

As much as someone who likes to preach forgiveness and hope people can change, and all that nice jazz, I do think the onus needs to be on the party at fault to make amends. Peters has had a decade to reach out to Aliu and apologize, and from the sounds of it he hasn't. Aliu is clearly still affected by Peters actions and he has every right to be.
So even if he hasn't said the N word in the last decade, I'm not convinced that he would have changed enough and that there shouldn't be repercussions and I completely hope that Peters is let go by the Flames (assuming what happened was true).
However, I do wonder what would have happened if this was last year during the surge and the fans hadn't turned on Peters. Would it have been a harder choice to make?

I expect an announcement no later than one minute from now.

Ok, so who is up next? Sutter should have been brought in a year and a half ago. He can certainly be an interim guy until the end of the year.

It's possible to change, it's just that it's probably less likely between 45-54 than, say 18-40. And I don't think it atones. Does it make a person unemployable in the present though? That's a hard thing to decide. Should a guy who got a DIU get his licence back after doing his time? After attending AA? What if he hurt or killed someone?
In this case, Peters doesn't likely get a job in NA at any significant level. Off to the KHL, where they don't care about this kind of stuff.

If he used a derogatory term, once, ten years ago... I guess he should be fired? I will point out that the name of Christ that we Christian people take upon ourselves and want to honor, is spewed out like a derogatory cuss word across the NHL constantly. I've never called for anyone to be fired.
Is this what we're doing now then?
