I thought only us Lowly colonists here in the states used racial taunts at sporting events. Shocked to read something like this taking place in high cultured Europe. Simply shocked.

Tell that to Anson Carter
“They had heard all the talk about Boston being racist, but I got nothing but love there,” said Carter, who scored 70 goals for the Bruins. ”I was a black hockey player – so what. I was a Bruin, and that’s all that mattered.”

give your head a shake.

Someone from Montreal should know a thing or two about intolerant behavior, just look at the example they are are setting for the rest of the world.

Like I said, words. Escorted out for using them, yes of course. Found about a month later after using it and being arrested for it? That’s insane.
It’s time to grow up and accept that the world is not perfect. Things like this happen more than you would think.

Go walk into pretty much any business in the North America and start calling their employees names (words) and see how long before the cops show up and put up in cuffs and lead you out.

They are not people walking the streets or in their homes using “words” they are entering a business that is selling a product and they are hurting business with their “words”

Amazing how many stupid people think their rights extend everywhere and anywhere.
Look there are 7 of them right now with their thumbs up.

They probably think “free speech” applies everywhere and anywhere as well.

Living and playing in cesspool like Boston would be just as bad or worse for these two guys. I really feel sorry for Malcolm Subban.

Arrested? For words? This has to be a joke. Even if they are racist, how do you take time to find eight people who used the word to arrest.

That’s unfortunate. When I was at the World Championships the Czech fans were the best, most fun fans of any country in the tourny. I guess there really are idiots everywhere you look.

Sad to see that in this day and age, that this still goes on. Eight people being arrested is an example of far we haven’t come as a society. Whether he has a family emergency to attend to at home, left due to a concern for his safety, or just didn’t feel like dealing with level of ignorance, Simmonds should be applauded for the class he has handle himself with in this case and others he has faced.
