for a guy that was in his 40s when he did it, I dunno if it feels that long. I'm only just past that milestone myself, this year I'm told I've been working for my company 10 years. It literally flew by.
I feel really bad for Aliu to be honest. This guy has had to deal with a lot of crap from day 1. Got labelled a troublemaker by the old buys' network as a prospect because he wouldn't stand for stupid hazing rituals. Gets to the AHL and has to deal with this garbage. All the cards were stacked against him from the start.

There's two sides here. Sure, Peters is about to be canned for an incident that took place a decade ago. On the flip side, he's been employed all this time, being paid well by NHL teams and essentially taking advantage of a system that was designed to protect him from responsibility.

The definition would actually be Peters, because he's white, thinking that he's superior to Aliu because he's black. i.e. Because of his race, Aliu is inferior to him.
And, despite losing his temper and using words nobody should use, I don't believe that Peters truly thinks that way. I don't believe that's what is truly in his heart.
Does no one else find it ironic that it took 10 years for this to come out when the coach in question was probably at his lowest point in his career? No different than the Marner story with Babcock or even the Trump scandal with Stormy. Wait until the right moment, than strike. Not because it's eating you up inside, no because you smell blood in the water.

In fairness, I think it's coming out now because Aliu had plenty to lose back then, career-wise. That's not really true any longer. It's got to be incredibly difficult, as a non first rounder, to stand up to a guy who has so much arbitrary control over your future success.
This is also Aliu's first year not playing pro hockey anywhere. He was in the ECHL last year. So yeah, plenty to lose until now.

Jeez, too bad he didn't just wear some blackface and dance around like an Al Jolson routine. That would have been fine, he would have gotten an extension!
Welcome to today's world. No acknowledgment for possible growth as a human, retroactive rule application, and throw out all the good and focus on one bad. MAY NOT APPLY IN THIS CASE. Wait until you get a speeding ticket for that street you drove down 5 years ago, they just built a school on.
How does the saying go? It takes 20 years to build your reputation but suck one .... Ill stop there.
We aren't all born perfect, sorry. Some of us need to learn things as we mature.
And now physical abuse.

Is Todd McClellan next here holy crap. Both were assistants under Babs in Detroit.
This is a good example... This poor lady just for being married to Trump has to put up with this crap even when she's spreading a positive message. And I highly doubt it's the republican voting public booing her.

So what’s everyone’s thoughts on the Bill Peters & Akim Aliu situation? Can people make comments without getting all the facts? I liked playing for Billy. Does he have some old school in him? Yes I think he does. Does that make him a bad person? Maybe it does? Times are changing
oh if you're "old school" that means you use the n-word now?
is this old-school too?
