fair enough, i'm not him i don't live in his head, who knows
i imagine being a black NHL player this is quite possibly the least offensive thing he's ever heard, but what do i know
i guess i'm just a different type of old school person, i firmly believe in 'sticks and stones....words may never hurt me' like even as a kid if some loser was like 'your moms a whore or something' i'd be like 'not really, but whatever' and keep walking. too easy. i'm white, not that tall, yet played college hoops on a limited basis. You probably can't fathom the things i've had said directly to my face by players/fans/whatever.....Steve Kerr's dad was killed by terrorists while president of American University of Beirut, while he was in college playing. Opposing crowds chanted PLO and 'your father's history' repeatedly and i don't recall anyone being ejected......that's not racist, but it's clearly a waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more offensive statement. My alma mater started the trend of wearing the Mormon outfit to mock Jimmer Fredette when he was killing it, again hilarious but highly offensive. Shit happens
