On Tuesday, Kadri’s wife, Ashley, took to Instagram to share screenshots of racist messages their family had received over the preceding 48 hours, calling the collection of messages “just a small example” of the comments they’ve endured.“
"I wanted to shine light on what the last 48 hours has looked like for us as a family," she wrote."This is just a small example. There are many more. This behaviour doesn’t belong in sports, or anywhere. If you are not condemning racism, then you are tolerating it." Berube's reluctance to plainly denounce the threats and comments drew widespread criticism from around the hockey world. Akim Aliu, the chair and co-founder of the Hockey Diversity Alliance, lamented how the silence was"hockey culture at its finest," before drawing a parallel to Berube's history.
"Head Coach of a National Hockey League team has no comment on a fellow player receiving death threats and Islamophobic slurs," Aliu wrote on Twitter."Same guy that called a black player a monkey as a player. No issues here, as you were." In November 1997, while playing for the Washington Capitals, Berube called then-Florida Panthers forward Peter Worrell, who is Black,"a monkey" — a slur widely known to be racist. Berube later apologized to Worrell, who said he accepted the apology."Being a Native American myself, I've heard it all, I've been around it," Berube said."It's not a good thing. So, I just wanted to get that out there, there's no room for it anywhere.
Yeah sounds real sincere 🙄
I think what Berube meant to say was that Kadri needs to stop being such a little pussy.
Classless
TOO LATE
I’m going to go with too little too late coach. No way “I don’t have social media,” passes as an excuse for you or any of the members of the StLouisBlues . This is a disgusting failure. As an indigenous person, I hoped your experiences would lead you to be more empathetic.
Coward but so is the NHL . Change will not happen unless we make it happen. We as a society need to show we won't take it.
Too late
'no comment' is always the most incriminating answer one can possibly give
ANYTHING would have been better than 'no comment'
Just to clarify, because reporters and people twist every word I'm saying.
Gee Craig Berube, do ya think you might have added to his motivation? Ya think? Guess you could say your twisted view on racism backfired! I guess those 3 goals by Kadri left a mark!
Who cares.
Steve_Dangle He’s not on social media so don’t know about racial comments but he knows there have been death threats? And are we to understand that racism is bad but death threats are cool? As usual the NHL is shocking
Bunch of race baiting bullshit , don’t believe a word of this woke garbage
Called 'backpedaling' or making excuses for his response. Unacceptable.
He needed time to delete the tweets he sent from his burner.

Disgraceful actions that are an embarrassment to our club and fanbase. Remember it’s just a game.

Ex-Leaf Nazem Kadri's wife posts disturbing racist threats; cops investigatingFormer Maple Leafs star Nazem Kadri\u0027s wife has taken to social media and is sharing some of the sickening racist messages targeting the star. Can't wait to stop cringing the Blues.... Why add ex-Leaf? He currently plays for the Colorado Avalanche. Odd title choice. More people have died in the name of religion than anything else. Faith and science. One is belief with proof, the other is belief with no proof. All religion is for the weak.
