Brandon Manning suspended (AHL) over racial slur

[ChaoticOrange]

Debated on whether this needed to be its own thread, decided on yes. 5 game suspension. Feels like it should be more.

Get this piece of trash out of our organization.

Thanks Chia.

Hope he doesn’t play again on the Oilers

EDIT: or on any other NHL team!

 

[Shaquille Oatmeal]

That should about do it for Brando I'd say. Good riddance!

 

[GodPucker]

Can the Oilers terminate his contract?

 

[Cloned]

I hope there is a ethics/morals clause in his contract.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

What a stupid ****ing *****le. Like you are getting $2M+ to be a part-time minor leaguer. Sure, you're stuck, but it's not like you deserve anything more and now you **** up in a such a way where the organization, who are utterly un-invested in you as a player and person, can look at terminating that contract. I seriously hope the team does. Get this blight out of the organization.

Moving past the obvious part that it’s reprehensible that he’d think, let alone say these things, if your a boarderline player saying stuff like this should be a death sentence for any chance of relevancy. I’m calling it now, 2-3 years from now I’ll be randomly scrolling through European league teams stats and I’ll randomly see him with 2 assists in 30 games in Switzerland and go “huh. I remember him”

 

[CycloneSweep]

What a piece of junk

 

[Coffey]

I hope he shoots Draisaitl's dog next.
It will just add to his rap sheet of why he's better than Caggiula.

 

[iCanada]

f*** this reprehensible piece of garbage. Get the f*** off of my team.

I can only hope this let's us terminate his contract.

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Can't wait 'til this guy is off the books..

 

[redgrant]

Terminate his contract. This is the team of Grant Fuhr first black player on the cup. We have Bear, Nurse and Yamamoto and Khaira on the team right now.

100% grounds for termination.

 

[dsi]

It was awkward enough having him on the team to begin with. And now with a team that’s as diverse as the Oilers over the years, he just makes his presence worse.

 

[McDNicks17]

Too bad there isn't clauses to terminate a contract for things like this.

 

[Shaquille Oatmeal]

Manning can go play for Bill Peters... If he ever finds a job again.

Or join him in the unemployment line at least.

Y’know when I first read this (both here and Twitter) I thought this was about Benning because apparently I’m unable to read. So I couldn’t help but to think “this is out of character for a nice St. Albert boy”.

Then I re-read it. Saw the name and my opinion changed to “yeah, that definitely seems like something that scumbag would do”.

Get this dumb f*** outta here and away from our young talent.

Thanks Chia.

There are those clauses. Whether it’s in his contract remains to be seen or more importantly would the NHLPA try to block it?

Hope he gets terminated.

Waive Brandon Manning to the lowest league possible until his contact expires. Get him away from the team.

And trade for that Imama. Sounds like he has some jam and would be a useful player in the organization.

I don't think you'll have to wait 2-3 years. His contract is up this summer

Hell why not aim higher? He should shoot Lenard (McDavid’s dog) too.

Enter him in to the douchebag hall of fame.

It should be up in 2-3 hours.

Boys will be boys, right? /s

Get this racist piece of degenerate trash out of our organization. There should be a less than zero tolerance for people like this.

 

[PaPaDee]

So... Peters was forced to resign his coaching role over comments made in the AHL 10+ years ago and Manning only gets a 5 game suspension?
