Well they're still investigating there Mr Lynch.

But if it turns out he's found guilty...

Do you think he should be fired for a 10 second rant 10 years ago?

(if guilty, wouldn't an apology and a course in sensitivity training be enough?)

How would you feel about it if you were the one being investigated Mr Highandmighty.

We both know you've said worse... is it grounds for YOUR dismissal... 10 YEARS LATER?

He wasn't employed by the Flames at the time of the alleged comments

... if they fire him for this will they face a lawsuit?

I'm not saying it's okay to say what he allegedly said.

It's not looking good for Peters right now, but we really should let the investigation run its course.

“He walked in before a morning pre-game skate and said ‘Hey Akim, I’m sick of you playing that n----- s---,’ ” Aliu told TSN, with Peters, who was then the Ice Hogs head coach, referring to Aliu’s selection of hip-hop music. “He said ‘I’m sick of hearing this n-----s f------ other n-----s in the ass stuff.’

“He then walked out like nothing ever happened. You could hear a pin drop in the room, everything went dead silent. I just sat down in my stall, didn’t say a word.”

Two of Aliu’s Rockford teammates who were in the room at the time of the alleged incident, Simon Pepin and Peter MacArthur, independently corroborated Aliu’s account to TSN on Tuesday.
BTW Aliu was as big as Brashear/Laraque and waaaaay nastier apparently.

Allegedly rotating billets because he allegedly had a habit of assaulting the billet folk allegedly.
Brashear and George could fight. Ditto Ray Emery. They’d all stomp the shit outta that kid.

Yes but Peters was more likely to be physically attacked by Aliu than either of those two.

(I was responding to you suggesting Peters lacked "the jam" to direct his comments to those two)

"Aliu, who was born in Nigeria, tweeted Monday that Peters used the N-word several times toward him in the dressing room during Aliu's rookie season because the coach didn't like his choice of music."

Once might be enough for the boot but several? He's toast.

Okay, I think you can still incite violence Blob, but not sure if you can still use the word "dogshit"...

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Why would anyone think that? :wow:

Why are you letting your imagination run away with you?

Aren't you worried Mr Peters might charge you with liable?

The allegation has been clearly stated... it all occurred within 10 seconds (allegedly).

ALSO: "You could hear a pin drop in the room, everything went dead silent."

That wouldn't be the reaction if it was a routine occurrence there Micky, think...

Soon most NHL coaches will be fired for words uttered many years past.

(when they start going after utterances of homophobic slurs)

What a great time to be alive!

A successful career is over for a few misspoken words....words that sting but are hardly anything new or cutting edge.

Because he is a privileged white man. They have to play by separate rules.
