Monday was convicted for bullying Isaiah Meyer-Crothers, a Black classmate with developmental disabilities, when the two were growing up together in Sylvania, Ohio.story are excruciating, but are all too typical of the kind of treatment young people of colour and people with disabilities — the type of people hockey wants to do a better job of attracting — have to endure.
It's also a story they didn’t get ahead of, and thus the Coyotes missed an opportunity to be leaders.uncovered the story, and the team and player responded when contacted.
All that said, it would be easy to bury and label Miller, which many have done. But I’m uncomfortable saying a 14-year-old should be defined by his worst moment. But I do think assault shouldn’t just be swept under the rug. USA Hockey, the University of North Dakota, the Detroit Honeybaked hockey club, the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders and the Tri-City Storm were all comfortable with Miller playing hockey for them before the Coyotes turned in a card with his name on it.
donnovanbennett Boycott coyotes games and merchandise! No more NHL sociopaths
donnovanbennett He was 14 years old, only 18 now. You people are ridiculous ...
donnovanbennett The ArizonaCoyotes organization is a f**king mess and this is just another feather in their cap.
donnovanbennett Yep. Try again ArizonaCoyotes Entitled and white. noconsequences hockeyisforeveryone You should be ashamed
donnovanbennett Well if he’s good then he’s good. Damn a bit of Taunting ruffles your feathers.guess that’s better than the reality of violence in America. We want a winning team not a Canadian team.
donnovanbennett Cancel culture is abhorrent and you should be ashamed of this article.
donnovanbennett I guess I understand why the Yotes drafted him seeing as how we didn’t have a pick until the 4th round, and we had to make that pick count so they took a shot on this kid, but I’m gonna have a hard time rooting for this kid until he shows that he’s a different person.
donnovanbennett i love how he gets such a pass ~ if this kid was black, it’d be game over
donnovanbennett 🤷🏿♂️🤨🤮It's stinks
donnovanbennett Anybody that claims to have not done stupid shit at 14 is a BALD FACED LIAR. That being said, the Coyotes thought they could get away with one and got caught...
donnovanbennett Underage drinking, dumb pranks, spray paint. These are mistakes you make when you are a teenager. Not calling a disabled black kid the N-bomb and forcing him to eat candy from a urinal, smashing his head into a brick wall. His white privilege let him get a slap on the wrist...
donnovanbennett Sure....no chance for redemption in this world. Those who throw those stones typically are harboring the guilt for having committed very egregious actions for which they have yet to be caught. Get rid of your ‘holier than thou’ front and integrate into society.
donnovanbennett Good thing you won't be our judge at the pearly gates. He was 14! Admitted his guilt, apologized, paid his debt, showed remorse. Move on. You should apologize for dragging it back through social media when he's still a kid.
donnovanbennett He was 14
donnovanbennett Shit he was a kid! Obviously no place for that but Show me a perfect teenager and I’ll give you $1 million!!!
donnovanbennett Keep an eye on him. BlackLivesMatter
donnovanbennett He was 13-14, for god’s sake! Not that his and his teammates’actions weren’t reprehensible...but let’s not dredge up his grade school antics and hold them up as an example of what his adult behaviour will be.
donnovanbennett Miller was in grade eight!! Give me a break Donnovan
donnovanbennett Seriously. Enough with this f*cking guy. We get it, he hates white males. We get it. Next.
