Andrew Shaw Suspended One Game for Use of Homophobic Slur During Hawks Game
NBC Chicago ^ | April 21, 2016 | Lauren Petty

Posted on 04/21/2016 6:28:51 AM PDT by Buckeye McFrog

Chicago Blackhawks’ forward Andrew Shaw has been suspended for one game after using a homophobic slur twice during Tuesday night’s playoff loss against the St. Louis Blues.

The league announced the suspension Wednesday along with a $5,000 fine for "directing an inappropriate gesture at the on-ice officials" during the game.

Shaw will also be required to undergo sensitivity training, according to the NHL.

The suspension means Shaw will miss Game 5 of the team's series against the Blues, where they are facing elimination.

Kris Letang just about takes Viktor Stalberg's head off, no suspension. The Philly Flyers pile-up the usual assortment of felonies and misdemeanors during a playoff series, no suspensions.

But yell out a homophobic slur on the ice, and by-gawd the NHL is gonna get you!

The bathrooms aside: we need laws against punishing people for what they say!

This homositivity has gone way, way too far and the degenerates are running amuck.

Wow, “ghey”, the original spelling that referred to h-people.
Very few people get this right, including the h-people.

He must go to the reeducation camp in the Gulag. Any type of unpure thoughts must quickly be cleansed.

Come on now, I’m not even a hockey fan and I know there are no “Safe Spaces” on the ice.

This is the unforgiveable sin. You can murder, slash and rape, and that’s forgiveable. THIS is not.
Welcome to the Crumbling States of America.

I thought being gay was a good thing now? I’d say he was complementing the ref by calling him gay. Are the NHL bigots? Where are the protests?

Did not hear that. Good! I'm a Pens fan and I agree Letang should have been suspended too.

Our local talk show guys seem to think that his greatest sin was “being on the ice in a nationally televised game where NBC had the rinkside mikes cranked up to 11”.

Homophobic? Was he really afraid? Doubtful!

This “Sensitivity Training” is right out of Communist China or Soviet Russia.” Re-education camps are just around the corner.

What exactly transpires during this training? Does anybody know what the curriculum consists of?

Do sodomites even watch sports? I know conservatives do.

ESPN doesn’t understand their demographics at all.
