Avery accused of firing racial shot
By Sun Wire Services
Saying it doesn't have any concrete evidence, the NHL doesn't plan any action over an alleged derogatory remark in Tuesday night's NHL game between the Oilers and Kings.
Oilers F Georges Laraque, who is black, alleged he was slurred by Kings F Sean Avery. League disciplinarian Colin Campbell spoke to both clubs yesterday, but was unable to confirm either player's story. Avery was warned by the league last month when he said Denis Gauthier's hit in pre-season on Kings teammate Jeremy Roenick was "typical of most French guys in our league with a visor on, running around and playing tough and not back anything up." Avery later apologized.

This after saying french canadians won't back anything up. I have deceided that Sean Avery isn't a very nice person. Your opinions?
