Alright I'll bite. It was entirely possible for Don's comments and intent behind the message to be portrayed in a respectful and positive manner, but the reality is that they weren't. His comments promote xenophobia and single out a group of people who have historically been targeted for isolation and ridicule across the world, and the xenophobia dominated the intent that could have been positive from the message. Hockey cannot promote the "Hockey is for everyone" mantra it has while also allowing the people who represent and market the game single out communities that should feel just as welcome as others.
