Also inferring you have to be an established NHLer to be treated with dignity and respect in the hockey world.

And even if Simmons doesn't have racist beliefs, that just means he's using racism to further his trolling. That might make him an even worse human.

Yeah that's the incredible logic fail. And it ignores the effect that racism had on creating Akim's supposed attitude problems and his bouncing around the league.

Sheldon Kennedy bounced around the league like no one's business. And he had some attitude issues. But no one says he's not a credible advocate.

I don't doubt that part of Kennedy's hockey issues stemmed from how he was treated when he was younger. That has to leave a lasting remark.

I’m waiting for the inevitable reply that Simmons isn’t racist because he has “friends” who are black.

I also don’t know who Jeff Hamilton is but kudos to him for calling Simmons out:

i just had a quick look at simmons twitter feed to see if he has made any updates to his column - and from what i can see, his only real comment was to tag Wayne Simmonds and link a story that steve wrote about simmonds remarkable path to the NHL

I feel like NHL teams would have the ability to remove his media credentials?

The parallels are pretty obvious.

Pffft, why couldn't Sheldon just be a good sexual assault victim like Theo?

i'd assume that this would only really stop him from going to pressers and dressing room access and i am not sure he does much of that anymore
