New season, old taunts

The hockey season has barely begun and already racist slurs are casting the world's greatest sport in a bad light. The most recent incident to get publicity (there's tons of this stuff that goes on and never gets reported) involved an elite 15-year-old player from Ottawa. An opposing player used the N-word,. CBC Sports has the story.
Here's the thing. If kids want to intimidate the opposition in a game, just score lots of goals.
Hockey - in kids' leagues or the pros - belongs to everyone whether they are white, native, black or Asian.
