TSN: 2 teammates independently corroborate Akim Aliu's allegations against Peters

[Snapshot]

Depending on who you read on Twitter, Peters is either fired (Sportsnet) or the Flames are still investigating (TSN).

Yeah, and not to mention the fact that the N word is so derogatory because it was used as a means to dehumanize and demean an entire race. Whereas the Christian religion has largely been on the other end of that type of thing *cough*crusades*cough*child molesting*cough*Inquisition*cough*etc.*cough*... I have the weirdest cough right now.

They can still be investigating, but the way this has all blown up there’s no way they can keep Peters without creating a PR nightmare for themselves. He’ll be gone one way or another.

Yeah, that one part is still odd to me though

As Rintoul was talking about a sec ago on 960, one reason he could have avoided confronting it was in fear of sparking fears of his rebellious reputation from junior. That holds a lot of water as a theory to me though, as we heard a lot about his growth in his time around the Flames

Only wondering this as far as team goes btw (hope my words don't come back as odd stones 7-14 pages from now! ) - as the rebelling he was talking about and "And instead of remedying the situation, he wrote a letter" suggested to me that there were allegations made then

The Peters one

[stone hands]

not the one where we have people trying to equate taking the lords name in vain to telling a black guy to turn that n*** music off or asking why its okay for dmx to say the word in his lyrics but not a 45 year old rural white hockey coach

Jesus Christ is a work of fiction.


Edit: Sorry for feeding the obvious troll.

ETA: On the other hand Tarantino writing it for himself in Pulp Fiction was stupid and I think he has issues. Jackson didn't like that either.

Tarantino was just playing a character too.

What about Jonathan Friedland who said it in the context that it was a terrible thing to say. Got fired by Netflix.

In this case obviously Peters cannot claim that it was a benign usage - it was a malicious usage.

You can find racist people on both sides of the rink.

Well if DMX was a hockey coach then he might be in some hot water, otherwise I don't see what that has to do with Peters.

I know you don’t mean it that way, but I think, given the circumstances, that would be tasteless.

I must be missing something. I had no idea that song was about you.

That said, if DMX was your boss at some point and, in front of your entire workplace, told you that he wanted to cut your head off because you are white, then DMX shouldn't work in management any longer. No questions asked.
