Valriera Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I just don't get why professional athletes do this. What's the goal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 13 games....I feel like that's so wrong on so many levels that there has to be another reason for the length. I have a feeling the IHF will ban him forever but this guy wouldn't play international hockey anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertuzzi got one year for paralizing a guy. i feel like in sports you could get away with murder, get few games suspension Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddious Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 What exactly is the UHL? Is that the same minor league the Danbury Trashers played in? Or is that like.. the Ukranian Hockey League (i think the guy is ukranian?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The punishment isn't all that surprising to me. Not to be xenophobic but eastern europe isn't exactly a bastion for racial equality (I am eastern european no need for pitchforks).

It's incredibly soft, though. 13 games for blatant racism and a dog shit apology that basically read like "sorry you were offended?" GTFO of here with that shit. This guy should have had his season taken away from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to be perfectly frank what you are describing may be exactly what happened. If not for the outrage online he may not have gotten anything.

BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 the 13 games is actually 3 games, with the option to pay a fine instead of sitting out 10 games. The fee for the 10 games is about $2,000 so barely any punishment for blatant racism. Totally unacceptable. But this is Ukraine, where being a Nazi is not even considered a bad thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) ah ok thanks for clarifying. I still don't believe its enough of a punishment Edited September 30, 2021 by BlairBettsBlocksEverything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindG1000 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Nowhere near enough of a penalty, but unsurprising for the league in question. What an unbelievably insane thing to do in a hockey game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
