“I was a teenager and that’s what life’s about. You live and learn and you grow as a human so, you know, I’m just here to play a couple hockey games.”
WINNIPEG — St. Louis Blues rookie goalie Jordan Binnington says he has grown up since teenage tweets about women in burkas and cab drivers who speak different languages.
“It was a while ago when I was a teenager and it was a little sarcasm, joking around,” said Binnington, a 25-year-old native of Richmond Hill, Ont. — Jordan Binnington January 25, 2013In the second tweet a few minutes later, he wrote, “Also If you’re underage & nervous of getting into a bar, throw the damn burka on. no way the bouncer will get into that awkward questioning.”
“These are five-year-old social media posts from a Player who wasn’t even a part of the National Hockey League at the time,” Daly said. “While we certainly don’t condone public comments that can be perceived as insensitive, we haven’t seen anything to this point that would cause us to take any kind of action in response to these posts.”
“I haven’t seen the tweets or anything so I’m not going to answer your questions about that right now,” forward Jaden Schwartz said. “We’re just going to go play hockey.”
