I think in both cases it's a failure of education. Penalties on homophobic language don't seem to do shit, and I think this is because that's how the guys using them see it. The penalties are useless without an awareness of why it's bad to say that thing, which clearly at least some players are lacking and disinterested in figuring out themselves.

Also I think there's a difference between "I personally don't feel so threatened by this slur so I'm not going to base my decisions on who I stop liking on who uses it" vs "I personally don't feel so threatened by this slur so it's not bad."

ayrt Yeah, Getzlaf's nonapology implied the problem was he used a swear word, not that he used a slur. I'm not sure he realized the difference.

I get this impression from r/hockey as well. There's so many threads where people are like 'hey snowflakes, here's a video of your fave saying fuck'. Like, that's not the problem.
