    ''However, it was extremely hurtful to Mr. Simon, and his many fans, including those in our First Nations communities, to hear from Mr. Campbell that such behaviour is related to drug and or alcohol abuse.'' - Chris Simon has fans?!?!?!

    Chris Simon is an Indian? What, like 1/32? How that counts, I'll never know. As an aside, does Phil Fontaine not have anything better to do? Like really, he gets paid too much.

    What the Hell this?

    It's obviously just a genuine mistake from Campbell. Hell, Simon had alcohol problems before and gets behaviorial help from the same guys that also help those with alcohol and drug problems... it's not like there wasn't any basis off which Campbell could have made that claim. He didn't pull it out of his ass, he just made a honest mistake.

    Ridiculous just how easily riled some people can be. And heck, Chris Simon is 1/32th native? So what? Then he must be like 31/32th (or close to it, whatever!) white and yet I don't see any white supremacist group demanding apologies because mistakenly claiming Simon is an alcoholic gives a bad image of white people.

    Jeeze!

    I hope the NHL tells him to shove his apology in his peace pipe and smoke it. Rediculous.

    I'm sorry, how is this a native issue? To me it looks like one person who made a comment about another person who just happened to be native, not because he is native.
