This kind of thing never bothered me, it's a great way to save on a lettered and numbered jersey. If a guy named Frank Hitler played for the Jets and I could get the jersey for cheap I'd do it. I'm also a ridiculous cheapskate

If they did a tox screen, I'd love to see the results.

No human could possibly be that belligerent on just alcohol.

I think you can be wicked belligerent on alcohol (look at people from the UK) but that definitely looked like something above and beyond.

PM blackface in Canada
Looks like Trump might get another go in the US

for starters

Dressing in blackface doesn’t hold a candle to saying you’re going to murder someone’s family.

I was talking about Peters who is done in the NHL

This is much worse I agree

Guy is done

we also don't litigate Peters again, he paid a high price

All of this is absolute nonsense.

There is no worthwhile relevance relating to Bill Peters telling Akim Aliu to "turn off the (hard R) n***** music" because an artist may or may not have used the word within context of the art and culture expressed.

"Well, the word is in the song." My goodness, how the #### are we still not understanding how this was completely wrong on any level whatsoever?

"But Justin did blackface". Grow up.

I initially thought it was excessive to have his contract terminated. After watching that video I’m surprised he isn’t in prison.

you are reading it all wrong...there was no "but Justin did blackface so its all okay"

Guy said Peters didn't pay a price, I think he did. NHL career is a pretty big price...and he deserved it.

Trudeau and Trump are embarrassments though that get a free pass

world is a funny place

I'm no F-Trudeau'er but you have to admit its ironic that PC Principal did blackface

Borat found it ironic

I think these guys can all pound sand and pay the price

Galchenyuk should be done
Peters is done
Trump and Trudeau...one can hope

I won't be posting in this thread again so save your breath

Imagine getting away with threatening a cop, and having them politely swap out with another officer, only to then repeat it and manifest an arrest and charges out of thin air.

Funny what happens when the full story comes out, eh?

[The Fisher Account]

I've met people like dino7c in real life and it's just sad to see them bring up Justin Trudeau in every unrelated conversation possible.

Tell me you've got some serious unresolved issues and are absolutely not obsessed with this man

The story at the time:

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Alex Galchenyuk repeatedly used racial slurs toward a police officer in training and threatened to have two officers killed during a traffic stop last weekend, police said in a report, actions that led the Arizona Coyotes to terminate the player's contract on Friday.

A Scottsdale Police Department report said Galchenyuk was erratic and aggressive toward officers after apparently crashing a car into a sign.

Galchenyuk cited connections in Moscow while saying “I’m gunna chop you, your wife, your daughter” and “One phone call and you’re all dead, your whole family, your blood line is dead,” police said in the report.

I hope Galchenyuk recovers from his addiction and is a better person for it.
