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.
