Leafs find teachable moment in homophobia accusation Globe_Sports
An NHL investigation cleared Morgan Rielly of a charge of uttering a homophobic slur at a referee during a game on Monday night. At that point, both the Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman and the management of his team could easily have let the matter rest.
“But there are a lot of people in our community and people we know, people who have family members and they are affected by homophobia every single day in our community and all throughout the world.
Once the video clip turned up on social media late Monday night, a debate raged over who said what. When he became aware of the controversy after the game, Dubas called Rielly back to the arena to discuss the matter.
