Mitchell Miller was available because he racially abused and bullied a Black classmate with developmental disabilities. The Bruins' decision to sign him shows how the folks in charge move when they think no one is looking, writes seangentille.
The Bruins, just like the Coyotes before them, want you to believe that Miller’s actions were youthful indiscretions. Horrific, yes, but a one-off, and something Miller has grown from and moved beyond. They want you to look at Miller and see yourself, maybe, or your son. It’s an appeal to empathy — for Miller, not the person who actually deserves it. They don’t want you to look at Meyer-Crothers and see yourself, maybe, or your son.
Do not buy it. Do not reflect on the mistakes you made as a kid, or the forgiveness or apathy you were graced with and think it applies here. It does not. And that doesn’t stop Boston — president Cam Neely, Sweeney and now Miller — from trying to pull the okey-doke. We’ll get into Sweeney’s joke of a press conference in a bit, but we should start with the canned P.R. statement. It came first, and it’s instructional. These are the words they had time to contemplate, choose and craft.
Miller didn’t personally apologize to Meyer-Crothers in 2016. He didn’t in 2020. He hadn’t last summer. And he hadn’t until, it seems, his conversations with the Bruins had started. Joni Meyer-Crothers told Guy Flaming of The Pipeline Show that Miller reached out to her son on Instagram recently to apologize while telling him that it “had nothing to do with hockey.
