If he was directly calling Akim racial slurs than that is pretty bad, but seems unlikely. But there is something ironic in that hip hop is well know for anti-gay and misogynistic themes. Peters sicking of hearing comment in reference to anal sex is a pretty accurate characterization of some hip hop lyrics - you want some specific example - check out DMX - Where the hood at. Last week someone was playing that kind of hip hop at an event I was at and I saw people react the exact same way - they were mocking the language used. I think you probably need to get the whole context before calling it out of line Who knows perhaps Akima was listening to some clean hip hop. The story is corroborated and, at the time, the captain even had a private meeting with Peter's about it 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly not so long ago to not know using that term isn't appropriate. Aliu was also playing in different pro leagues up to last year, so he had reason to stay quiet given how people that speak up have been treated or could be treated. it was 10 years ago. he held his silence for ten long years and never told anyone? why is everyone just taking his side, when they haven't heard both sides. doesn't seem fair to me. I am not crazy about Peters, but I will wait judgement until all the facts are in and they certainly are not all in yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's now what I took away from it, at least not the main intention. After the Marner Babcock thing, I think he felt it was the right time, now that he's not playing and has nothing to lose. I guarantee you coaches ruin players careers......I've seen it happen. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's secondary to the fact that Peters used hateful, racist language to a 20 year old POC. He deserves what he gets. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down by the River Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 The leadership group in Carolina told Ron Francis about Peters' inappropriate actions and Francis did nothing.... Hopefully that further pisses on the idea that players didn't speak up and are therefore cowards. Players have spoken up and it led nowhere, which probably made those players feel like they had a target on their back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good god, man. Is it really that hard for you to understand this? Do you think it's fair for a boss to bully his employee and use racial slurs? Do you honestly not get why an employee would be quiet about this for some time? If your boss racially abused you and used his power to keep you quiet, there is no shame in exposing that kind of garbage behaviour. Everybody would understand why you kept quiet - because he was your goddamned boss. Seriously. So dense. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mll Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 From the Calgary Flames: CALGARY - Calgary Flames general manager Brad Treliving tonight provided the following update: "Our review into the allegations from last evening continues. This is a very serious matter and we want to be thorough in our review. Bill Peters will not be behind the bench for the Flames game tomorrow night in Buffalo. Associate coach Geoff Ward will handle head coaching duties. "We will have no further comment until our review is complete." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine the awkward meeting they’re probably having with Oliver Kylington as a part of the investigation. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
