what Mitchell Miller did to that kid was not a «lapse in judgement» from a youngster. it was downright evil. calculated. the kind of decision that reveals the darkness of someone's character regardless of age. it took him years to apologize, if he even has.

this is sickening.— Mike Stephens (@mikeystephens81) November 4, 2022

Sweeney on signing Mitchell Miller: "I am not going to downplay that this has been a personal struggle as well as a professional struggle."

They did not reach out to victim's family during vetting process.

Just having a hard time thinking this is worth it.— Ty Anderson (@_TyAnderson) November 4, 2022

Not seeing the words "racist" or "racism" anywhere in the Bruins' press release. What Mitchell Miller did was racist. It's important to acknowledge that if you're trying to make people believe he's changed in any significant way.— Arpon Basu (@ArponBasu) November 4, 2022
