Elliotte Friedman tweeted me he is aware of the story. This story will blow up tonight I imagine.

Uh, what? Friedman tweeted at you? Do you know him? Can you tell him to do something about that horrendous moustache?

I would say it depends on who you worked with. I heard everything wrong Sand ######s to camels jockeys. My old boss called it ###### music to a black guy that worked with us. That was in 2007-2008. And I think it was AC/DC that was playing..

I think at this point it’s on Treliving it Peters isn’t let go. Absolutely no place for this in any context.

It’s hard to imagine this can be excused since Aliu is the one making the accusation and the context does not seem friendly.

If the Flames fire him for this, would they still have to pay him? He’s got to have a clause about this sort of thing right? Or would it only cover activity during employment by the org?

Versteeg won't say anything, or else his fledgling NHL commentator career could be over. Situations like this are tough to track down, because it would have to be someone out of the game, or someone renowned for their candidness (Commie).

I think at this point we need to wait for the whole story and a proper investigation to occur.

The important thing is not to rush to any conclusions on any of this on the basis of a single report. And by that mean one shouldn't try to assume its true, but nor should one try to assume it isn't true.
There simply aren't enough facts right now to conclude one way or the other.
Let it play out.

I am not buying it. This comes out now suddenly after how many years? This sounds like a guy who is bitter he didn't make the show. Even more disturbing is how many people are calling for Peters head in this thread, wtf ever happened to innocent until proven guilty? Bitter people make false accusations all the time, let's see if this goes anywhere before bringing out the pitchforks.

He used it to a black guy for AC/DC....haha that's a whole other level.

But ya the amount of sand ***** used back then was just atrocious. Before facebook was a different time of everybody not giving a ####. Haven't heard anyone say that in years now.

Trying to find reasons to discredit the accuser is just as bad as calling for Peters to be fired.

As if the team needed a distraction. This isn't good news. I can't imagine Alui decided he would make up this story about this. Probably some smoke to the allegations. It's only a matter of another player stepping up and this could snowball.

Umm how about giving Akim a chance here too. We don't know the full story.

No kidding.

People need to slow down a bit on this.

Peters probably is literally, just now, learning about the accusation...something he may not have the slightest clue about.

When twitter is judge and jury on things, then we have lost the battle.

IF this happened, then Peters has to answer for it, and I'm sure he will whether by choice or by pressure from his superiors, but either way let's give the man a chance to give that answer shall we?

He was a 50 year old newfy that listened to country. He was a miserable old bastard. But I don’t think a single person on that crew thought he was legitimately racist, homophobic or even hateful.

Maybe you should wait for the facts...seems like a pretty easy way to get a guy you don't like fired

I said let's see where it goes. Again, why now? Why has this not come out before? Notice how he writes its about the coaches who he thinks didn't give him his fair shake. The whole tweet sounds like a bitter child. Kind of like how Commodore sounds.
