NHLer apologies after highly racist comments

Artemi Panarin, from the Chicago Blackhawks, might be in trouble as an old video of him resurfaced earlier this week. In the controversial video, you could see  Panarin joking about what he would never do.

“I can't have sex with a black woman,” he said as an answer to the question, “what can not you do?" The video has since been deleted, but here’s a caption found on Faxes, Uncle.

The Chicago Blackhawks and Artemi Panarin apologized

“In 2012, I was a guest on a Russian TV show and made insensitive comments that I deeply regret,” Panarin reportedly said, “I understand my comments are offensive and I apologize for my hurtful words.”

After they were aware of the video, the Chicago Blackhawks management met with Panarin. “On Sunday, we were made aware of the video from Artemi’s appearance on a Russian TV show in 2012,” the Blackhawks management said. “We immediately addressed the matter with him. His comments in the video in no way represent the values of our organization. He has apologized and understands the offensive nature of his words.”
