I vividly remember that phony outrage when the K'Andre Miller hoax was perpetrated. But I don't think he was targeted for being conservative, per se. I'm sure the great majority of hockey players lean conservative, if they have any political ideology at all. I think he was targeted here and elsewhere for spending a little too much time on social media looking for trouble. But that's not what got him waived.


All I remember is seeing that he said something about Trump or a Republican candidate and him being slandered shortly thereafter, and also losing his job in a way that was weird. Someone else mentioned the team not wanting him to report to the AHL team... this is what I mean; he was excommunicated from the NHL. Actually, before Carolina signed him after the buyout, people were openly questioning if he could still be good.

Lol.

But yeah, I saw some stuff from his teammates talking about him, and seeing that he would volunteer his time at a local ice rink, and it made me realize that he's a good dude who was getting blasted by the media unfairly.

Clearly that bias lingers to this day.

This only makes sense if you consider "being racist" a political belief.


I don't think this guy is racist but hey, let's hear what he actually said? Or just assume something about a person without actually knowing?

Oh we will. I'm going to post something about it in the Pens area of the site, he's as good as ours


Not sure if I quite like it exactly but as long as it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg, we’ll be good

He was suspended in junior for saying racist slurs, but sure, defend the guy. That won't make you look bad.

There's nothing quite as powerful and the conservative victim complex.
