The Boston Bruins have been in hot water as of late after signing a individual by the name of ''Mitchell Miller'', Miller, was blacklisted in the NHL when teams found out he was involved and charged during a bullying incident that took place against a disabled coloured teenager in high school.
Miller was charged from the situation that took place in 2016, where he forced a disabled teen to eat candy, but it was not just ''candy'', it was candy that was rubbed thoroughly throughout their schools washroom urinal.
If that was not bad enough, in 2020 the disabled coloured victim spoke out and revealed that was not the only thing Mitchell Miller did to him, the victim endured many racial encounters with Miller. The disabled victim was hit hard multiple times by the NHL prospect, while being called the ''N word'' and a ''brownie'', truly disgusting..
What did the Bruins see in this guy? Who the heck knows, but Bruins stars Brad Marchand and Patrice Bergeron stated their frustration and were not too happy, as every other NHL fan was not happy as well.
The Bruins have now made a decision to reverse their signing, after saying "Based on new information, we believe it is the best decision at this time to rescind the opportunity for Mitchell Miller to represent the Boston Bruins. What new information? It has been right in front of everyones eyes this entire time, what a true joke.
View the official statement below:
Statement from Bruins President Cam Neely:"Today the Boston Bruins have decided to part wayswith Mitchell Miller, effective immediately. The decision to sign this young man was made after careful consideration of the facts as we were aware of them: that at 14-years-old he made a poor decision that led to a juvenile conviction.
We understood this to be an isolated incident and that he had taken meaningful action to reform and was committed to ongoing personal development. Basedon that understanding we offered him a contract. Based on new information, we believe it is the best decision at this time to rescind the opportunity for Mitchell Miller to represent the Boston Bruins. We hope that he continues to work with professionals and programs to further his education and personalgrowth.
We are sorry that this decision has overshadowed the incredible work the members of our organization do to support diversity and inclusion efforts. We will continue to stand against bullying and racism in allof its forms. To Isaiah and his family, my deepest apologies if this signing made you and other victims feel unseen and unheard. We apologize for the deep hurt and impact we have caused.
Finally, as a father, I think there is a lesson to be learned here for other young people. Be mindful ofcareless behaviors and going with the groupmentality of hurting others. The repercussions can be felt for a lifetime."
