Who are they? Almost every racist person on the internet pushes that narrative every chance they get.

The two situations aren’t even remotely similar so this is an utterly ridiculous comparison. What is being discussed is a businessman and hockey owner who apparently wielded his power in negative ways. The topic of whether his behaviour should be brought into the open at this point after his death of NATURAL CAUSES is the question.

Bringing up your narrative about a person who was KILLED by police officers brings absolutely nothing to this discussion. It’s just a pot-shot about a completely different topic and different agenda you have.

Do you have any thoughts about Eugene Melnyk? Do you have thoughts about the article written about him at this point in time? Since a lot of people don’t seem to follow your comparison, maybe you should just state your opinion more directly.

Melnyk was Ukranian (both his parents are from Ukraine). Name Melnyk means Miller. Too bad he didn't live at least another month to see his country win the war.

So I guess the defense screwed up, surely Chauvin would have walked had the jury been told Floyd was a pos

BTW, what makes you think Floyd was a pos?

NO!!! Don't feed the trolls! Do we need to out up signs or something?

This is supposed to be about Melnyk and/or the sens not that.

Just read the Athletic article and it was fascinating and infuriating at the same time. I 100% disagree with the notion of burying the story out of “respect” for the dead. It sounds like undoing Melnyk’s antics and legacy will be a major challenge for the franchise, and that makes the story timely and relevant. So many questions for this team going forward.
