How about this guy? He always seems to be off the hook for evreything even though he did have a part in most personel decidions of the Raptors, I believe that this guy has to go and if you feel the same sign the petetion on: www.firepeddie.com also we are raising money to have a banner flown over Toronto saying "Fire Richard Peddie"
Isnt that the guy that told GG the raps GM to let Rafer"Skip to My Lou"Alston, Carlos Arroyo and Brian Skineer go? I think this guy is stupid and should be fired. Is he the teams consultant or what is he to the raptors?
I think that he is the President of Basketball Operations for the Raptors, and there are many people that believe that he is one of the main problems behind the downfall of the Raptors. I believe that he basically has the final say in every decision that was made so he should be held responsible for what has transpired with the club. The reason why he is still with the team is because he's part of upper management in the organization. KO hit the nail right on the head during his speech with the media and it was because of what KO said that he was fired later in the day. Some believe that Peddie started the whole media fiasco on KO, to use him as a scapegoat. Richard Peddie is an idiot and probably has no basketball knowledge. All he probably cares about is his salary.
hes the CEO of Maple Leaf Sports Entertainment.He also has control over the Toronto Maple Leafs. This makes it harder to fire Peddie. Look at the ...umm.. success hes brought the leafs. He is the owner too(at least thats what firepeddie.com says) how hard will it be to fire him? The board of director should vote him out. He has meddled too much with the teams and gone beyond his duties. Maybe the teachers association(or something like it) which has a stake in the MLSe will vote against him. OT: Who else has a stake in MLSE?

The owners of the Raptors are Larry Tadenbaum(sp?) and the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan
^oops, my bad, I just reread the site. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> <font size="1">Richard A. Peddie is the current President and CEO of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment Ltd. (MLSE), owner of the Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto Raptors.</font> </div> It read hin my mind that he owned MLSE, but hes the CEO of MLSE, and MLSE owns the raptors and leafs. I hope the Pension Planners and Larry boot him. Soon.
We need basketball guy's at all executive positions next year. Richard Peddie has no idea on how to build a basketball team and he has shown it. If you make Glen and KO responsible then he should be as well.
