was drafted by the Anaheim Ducks in the third round of the 2005 NHL Draft,
eventually ending up on their ECHL affiliate the Bakersfield Condors in
2008-09.
That’s where
Bailey claims he faced a "barrage of anti-Semitic" and "degrading verbal
attacks" until his trade to the Ottawa Senators organization in 2009. From
TMZ:
In the suit, filed today in Orange County Superior Court,
Bailey claims the head coach of the Condors told him "[Jews] only care
about money and who’s who" and that he "never wanted his son to be
raised Jewish or to wear a Yarmulke."Bailey claims the assistant head coach would get in on the
Jew-bashing too — saying things like, "Oh, I just got a friend request
from a dirty Jew."Bailey says the coaches also forced him to travel apart
from the team and he was "rarely given any ice
time" in games because he’s Jewish.
In May 2009, BakersfieldNow.com’s Sabrina
Rodriguez reported on suspensions to Condors coach Marty Raymond and
assistant coach Mark Pederson in Feb. 2009, citing an anonymous source as
claiming "the two coaches had made anti-Semitic comments" towards Bailey.
From Eyewitness News 29:
From Rodriguez, in speaking with Condors team president
Matthew Riley:
According to Riley, in this case, the suspension was the right thing. "It’s
probably unheard of, or extremely rare that coaches are suspended during a
season by their own organization and so we took a lot of risk doing that,"
Riley said of the disciplinary action. "But we felt it was the right thing
to do and regardless of the consequences you need to do the right thing."
According to TMZ, which didn’t mention the suspensions, when Bailey protested to Ducks management,
they had the coaches "pen apology letters to Bailey in which they both admitted
to using hurtful language."
