League deals with taunt

There's more today on the midget hockey case from Ottawa where a 15-year-old black player was taunted.
I find it hard to believe the referee or other officials did not hear the racial slur. Maybe it was easier not to make the call and pretend this kind of thing is just part of the rhythm of minor hockey for teens.
Fortunately, others did hear it, the organization caught up with the offending player, who admitted his action, apologized and has been sent on a sensitivity course.
Here's the story from the Ottawa Citizen.

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.
