The obvious correct morality is to give 2nd chances to convicted persons who made a mistake ...especiallyvas juveniles and did their timeliness jv care,but also forcaduktvcromonalsxwhobservrdctheirbpunishmentbin jail...


However if such offenders then offendcAGAIN that is where morality draws a line...You shoukd get a 2nd chance but thatvis it...Offend ax2nd tome as an adult and THEN you lose any moral sympathy to get a 3rd chance.

This is so logical and the correct morality that no "political coirectness" (which often takes a side without context takes a side for some agenda or political result t ,or tries to bully or impose what they think should be the General Morality standard (because it supports their "cause" of the day)or into the minds of the more critically astute who see a wider scope of tolerance within certain limits.

So to those who woukd deny a 2nd chance to Mitchell Miller to prove he has matured and changed from his youthful racist prank days,it is YOU who did not have the moral high fgrou d on this decision to give him his chance to atone for past mistakes as a juvenile.


Now this of course could backfire on the Bruins if he commits another racist offense ....if hexactualky has talent and becomes an NHL star now and behaves like a choir boy then Bruins put one up on every other team that bypassed pm their chance to get such talent.

With respect to the Hawks...tgey of course would not want any part of pursuing him given theirown PR mess with morality in the Beach case...tgey cannot afford to take any risk on a 2nd chance..and that is tge bad in itself part because a once disgraced organization from a set of bad decisions in mis- handling a delicate moral mess is sort of now automatically in the business of DENYING 2nd chances and to deny a 2nd chance is tge opposite of correct morality.

Thus business risk triumphs over what could be best for on ice hockey success if you can acquire difference-maker talent (that talent remains to be seen with this player) but in any case you now have a dichotomy ...Bruins actually did the correct thing on morality grounds in a society tgat ostensibly lauds tolerance / 2nd chances for pastcoffenders who hopefully learned their lesson in jail or jv time....but tge Hawjs cannot claim any nobility on this by not pursuing alkegrdctalent due to fear of repercussion both instantly on social media by the "pc mob" or even more later if the player backsides into more racist behavior now as a adult.

Bruins=hockey decision and willing to accept the consequences both instantly and in future if the player should offend again.


Hawks=business decision =do not want any part of any criticism bubpc social media mob NOW,or even more in future if this player goes and offends again.


So this isan interesting "Tale of Two Cities"...but ironically...for Now,the Bruins have the higher morality points.


You can understand why Hawks would avoid any pursuitbofvthisvpkayer ...but technically it still ironically putsxtge Hawks as more intolerant....unwilling to offer a 2nd chance.


So ratger than condemn the NHL carter Blanche of "never learning"...obviously some NHL team thought about risk/reward and decided that tge correct idea wss to give out a 2nd chance.

It may backfire ir may succeed...but for now tge Bruins zhoukd be lauded not hated on any scale where mercy ,tolerance and 2nd chances are supposed to be linchpin of a justcsociety...

If it backfires...then bring down Holy vengeance on the Bruins for not doing enough due diligence to find out if the player has changed from kis stupidity to adult understanding...but do not criticize the Bruins NOW ...theyvactedxwith the correct moral decision o tbis...you arexsupoised to give 3nd chances...Period.

Refreshing response from a true captain.

Toews would have said:
"Regardless of the mistakes that may have been made, for someone like Miller to lose everything they care about and his livelihood as well, I don’t understand how that makes it go away – just delete him from existence and that’s it, we’ll never hear from him. So I have a lot of respect for him. He's a good person."

I have a question- opinion.
Most of you know I have an adult son with a severe mental illness so trust me, this is not written from the position of sympathizer.
This isn’t discussing what happened.

If Miller did not lie to them or misrepresent himself why doesn’t Boston have to pay him?
They knew the story, they claimed to have done due diligence.
Both parties signed a binding contract. It’s not his fault that Boston didn’t check with the league.
Unless there is something more and he purposely kept it hidden? …

I'm pretty sure Miller is walking away with 95k plus three years of AHL salary.
