Probably gonna claim that Doughty dropped the N word or something.
Imagine the fallout if Doughty spit on Miller.
dirty dog!
The worst crime here is those stupid shiny helmets. Come on man !
Miller…."He skated into it…come on…"
Song that played after the announcement?
Imagine working so hard to get to the NHL, then spit in someone's face. What a classless and disgusting act
does anybody else think its hysterical the ref said "he's been *awarded* a match penalty for spitting?"
Black history month!
Miller is falling apart. His last 5 games have sucked and now this smh
Black males lack impulse control.
Should also come with a hefty fine and/or suspension. Filthy act
If the roles were reversed I can already see the headlines "white hockey player spits on black player"
That's a first….guess it was his way of saying get out of my face……good thing he had a visor on that helmet
Here’s the deal.
Spitting on another human being is definitely unacceptable and uncalled for. He should probably receive a fine and a suspension in line with historical standards for what this type of behavior from players has garnered in the past.
The thing is, it’s out of character for K’Andre. He’s not hotheaded, not a dirty player, he doesn’t trash talk or even fight. He’s very calm and collected on the ice and off. He’s a black player in a predominantly white, conservative sport where there’s a history of problems with racism. And yet as far as we know he’s been known to keep composure at all times.
There was a Rangers AMA livestream that Miller hosted a couple years ago, and some racist hijacked the comments and called him the N word a bunch of times and he barely even reacted. Was asked about it afterwards and showed a ton of class in how he handled it.
Now we shouldn’t assume Doughty said anything racist, but it’s a weird out of character move from Miller so all scenarios should be considered. His comments about it in the coming days will be telling.
A big issue here, though, is how many people are calling the kid classless, disgusting, should be banned from the league etc, without taking his historically mild and respectful behavior into consideration. Like I think it’s pretty reasonable to assume this was a one off situation where he lost his composure, probably due to a lot of unknown factors building up, and that he is very likely going to be apologetic and remorseful about it.
I forget though, people tend to allow involuntary racism to cloud their judgement often. A black guy doing something bad will usually be looked at more negatively than when white guys do the same thing.
Spitting on an opponent should be life long ban from the league.
Must have learned from Hathaway
There is no excuse for spitting in the direction of a player, but some things to consider. Miller's intentions were not on the same level as Garnett Hathaway's. The spit landed near Drew's right arm. His eyes weren't even fixed on Doughty. Miller is a notorious spitter after shifts. No joke. I see him getting suspended, but only one game or two.
That’s no accident.
He was tryen to help him shine his helmet?
Big Rangers fan here. Love Miller's play-style, but this is unacceptable. I think he said it was unintentional. No one, not even Miller, believes that. Can't even chalk it up to being a young player. You should know from childhood you don't go around spitting. Take your three game suspension, own up to it, chalk it up to the heat of the moment (which it probably was), apologize, and learn from it. That is all you can do…besides never letting it happen again.
So….this is a hate crime, right? B/c if it were the other way around you know there'd be rioting, burning and looting.
The LAST person you want to be spat on by, is A PRO ATHLETE..different cities, different women..not cool..
Top tier goof
That's a very ladylike thing to do.
i can't believe Doughty didn't go bezerker, he usually does, and it would have been deserved.
Lol NYC are such scumbags
As a rangers fan, this was completely uncalled for. Miller should know better than that especially since they were down a defenseman this game. Selfish and idiotic.
He’s black so he can get away with anything. Black privilege is real and prominent as ever.. stay woke people
Classless POS …
Should get 10 games !
such a shame that the systemic racism in out country has forced this man to spit in a game during Black History Month
