NHL suspended Florida Panthers’ minority owner on social media on Tuesday for their latest “unacceptable and inappropriate” tasks.

Doug Cifu, the vice president and alternative governor of the team, was banned from any participation in the team or league waiting for a meeting with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman.

With a Toronto fan on the X (formerly twitter), which began with comments about the ongoing playoff series between Maple Leafs and Panthers, with a Toronto fan on Sunday, the issue began to conflict between Israel and Palestinians.

One of Cifu’s posts “51. “Israel is now and forever. Until the last Hamas Rat eliminates (Sic).”

President Donald Trump’s statements about Canada’s 51st state statements about his becoming a state was later deleted and the account was disabled.

“NHL, Mr. Cifu’s X tasks are unacceptable and inappropriate,” the league said in a statement. He said. “As a result, Mr. Cifu was suspended indefinitely from any participation about the club and NHL.”

Cifu made a statement to Florida hockey on Tuesday.

“I published sad and inflamed comments on social media two days ago.” “My behavior does not reflect the standards of the Florida Panthers organization and the Viola family. I sincerely apologize to everyone who is affected by my comments. I am determined to work with NHL to change my actions.”

In 2008, CIFU is the CEO of Virtu Financial, a business owner and president Vincent Viola, in 2008.

Panthers and Maple Leafs are connected to 2-2 in the seven best eastern conference semi-final series. The game is at Toronto on Wednesday night.
