He had no power in it at all. Why should Peters not be held accountable? Why didn't the player come out ten years ago? And have public opinion judge him at that time? A lot of things can happen in ten years. Many people who have said racist things back in the day, don't say them now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must be confused at what cancel culture is then. Care to explain? Quote Call-out culture (also known as outrage culture) is a form of public shaming wherein people identify offenses committed by members of their community and publicly "call out" the offenders, thereby shaming or punishing them.[1] Its proponents aim to hold individuals and groups accountable for their actions by calling attention to behavior that is perceived to be problematic, usually on social media.[2][3] Edited November 26, 2019 by Baer.

combover Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Dinosaurs will die. Cherry babs Peters id bet there’s a much longer list just bubbling. I can think of a few ego maniac hot headed coaches that are probably pretty nervous right now. Maybe making those forgiveness calls as we speak. Never liked Peters. Bummer thou he had the flames playing worse than the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Akim wanted an apology, he could call up Peters anytime and man to man hashed it out. Instead he comes out to try to destroy him over something he said 10 years ago. Peters is wrong on the racial slur but Akim is wrong for trying to get everyone to hate the guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is not a “Calgary Flames” problem, this is a “Bill Peters” problem. The coaches, the players, and the fans of the Flames are not culpable, here. The whole team is a tire fire.

Yep, totally wrong to expose a bigot. Akim doesn't control anyone's opinions on the matter; all he did was be honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Care to explain? this isn't a case where an online mob tries to drown out the other side of some issue or some public figure is being boycotted based on a quick judgment. This is a corroborated racial slur incident that requires a response of some kind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberz21 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 1 hour ago, smokes said: Yes but passing judgement on something that happened 10 years ago going on he said he said? Also it's a little unfair for the woke to judge people at a time when society wasn't woke. 10 YEARS AGO! Pretty sure the N word has been a no go for way way longer than that. We're not talking about 1950 vs 2019....it's 2009 vs 2019. In 2011, Philadelphia forward Wayne Simmonds had a banana thrown at him during a preseason game in London, Ontario. In 2012, then-Washington forward Joel Ward was the subject of racist social media posts after he scored a game-winning playoff goal. In 2014, then-Montreal defenseman P.K. Subban was the subject of racist social media posts after he scored a game-winning playoff goal. Btw, your he said he said, as now been corroborated by at least 2 former teammates of Aliu, go read Fran Seravelli's articles on TSN. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KoreanHockeyFan Posted November 26, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 26, 2019 1 minute ago, smokes said: Not much of a career. He got traded the next year. Why didn't he say anything at that time? Omg. OK, dude: Hockey culture has compelled players to keep their mouths shut. Two reasons for that (1) general hockey culture tells players to "stay in line, keep your head down , work hard and put the team before yourself." Hockey prides itself in the whole team aspect of this and you can see it especially when you're comparing to other sports like basketball and football. (2) why would Akim take the risk of tanking his career by releasing this info? Look at what happened to Kaepernick by simply just putting his knee down during the anthem - his career is now in limbo. You don't think Akim would consider this outcome? You can apply the exact same logic to the Marner-Babcock situation. Marner himself never disclosed the incident because he probably didn't want to mess up his career as he was just breaking into the league. Akim probably drummed up the courage to talk about this because, unfortunately, he probably thinks his career has pretty much come to a standstill, and felt obligated to speak up because of Peters' connection to Babcock. This isn't cancel culture people. Give your heads a shake. 2 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
