Comments about the 51st state: Panthers owner suspended by the NHL

But let’s just say that the NHL didn’t exactly appreciate the “initiative” of the Panthers’ shareholder. After all, he really made his club, and the league, look bad in all this.

And so the NHL acted, to protect its image.

Until further notice, Cifu has been suspended indefinitely by the league. He will not be allowed to be involved with his team, nor with the NHL. He will also have to meet the commissioner in person to explain his actions.

The Toronto Star reports.

As we said yesterday, this isn’t the first time he’s tweeted enormities. But now, just as it’s gaining momentum on social networks, the NHL is turning its nose up at the issue.

That’s good, isn’t it?

I don’t know how far Cifu will learn his lesson, but at least, until further notice, his Twitter account has been deactivated. It’s harder to post stuff when you don’t have an account.

To be continued.
