Jacksonville then cut Jacob Panetta, who has apologized. He says what South Carolina's Jordan Subban interpreted as a racial gesture wasn't meant as racial.
In a post on his Twitter account, Jordan Subban said Panetta"was too much of a coward" to fight him.
Panetta posted a video on Twitter on Sunday, with a tweet that said"racism has no place in this world and no place in the game we love." Panetta said he told Subban that"You're only tough when the refs get involved,'" and then"did a tough-guy bodybuilder-like gesture toward him" that Panetta said he's made to other players in other games.
"I see now from Jordan's reaction that he and others certainly viewed it as a racial gesture, and that my actions have caused a great deal of anger ... I want to express to everyone, especially Jordan, that my actions were not racially motivated at all, and I sincerely apologize for the pain and suffering and anger that my actions have caused him, his family and everyone who has been hurt by this," Panetta added.
"No one felt sorry for us when we went through our experience, so we don't expect anybody to feel sorry and we don't expect anybody to really understand that isn't Black," he said, adding later,"This is life for us. And that's what sad - this is life for people that look like me who have gone through in the game of hockey. And that's part of the history, whether we like it or not, and we're trying to change that.
