Should Ron MacLean Be Fired

[Babba_not_Gump]

My gawd, some people sure get their panties in a knot.

[Babba_not_Gump]

Yep, and I cast my vote. Chaulked myself up for, "I don't care."

My first thought was " what the *bleep* for?".
My second thought was, " this article belongs in the woke or cancel section.
My third thought was "well he is a Liberal supporter", but I tossed that one.

And my final thought was "I miss Don".

We have a woke or cancel section? Lord help us.

Who much cares what he says?

I watched that happen live and I have to say I had no idea what Ron was talking about. I highly doubt he was trying to be offensive.

Shamelessly stealing this one from twitter: "that ron maclean joke was so uncomfortable I half expected ron maclean to be standing next to him looking sheepish while he made it"

[the truth]

"HNIC host Ron MacLean apologizes for on-air comment, says he was misunderstood"

Fans are saying he should be fired.

Agreed. Don Cherry lovers need to give it a rest. He is now 87 years old but was a doddering fool for the majority of his broadcasting career.

No, Cherry wasn't a "doddering fool" - what a silly thing to say.

Liked fighting, hated immigrants, mostly non-coherent. Sounds doddering to me.

[The Green Barbarian]

Liked fighting,

He saw a need for it in the game. He's allowed to have an opinion. Just because you disagree with him doesn't make him "doddering", just silly.

hated immigrants,

That's just a dumb thing to say.

mostly non-coherent. Sounds doddering to me.

He wasn't incoherent ("non-coherent" in your lingo"), he was extremely coherent. This is just silly.

Any updates on Ron? You know the losers at the CBC won't back him, they'll can him immediately if the woke mob demands it.

Number of years ago Ron MacLean was fired for taking Gary Bettman to the carpet. On this I give Ron 2

People are getting offended way to easy, just look at the picture behind Kevin.

Sexism isn't permitted.
Racism isn't permitted.
But ageism apparently is just fine.

The CBC/Sportsnet surprisingly has his back.

I can only hope that the losers out there that were (are) offended by what was said (it was nothing by the way to normal people) start their days off humming the theme song to M.A.S.H. until it sinks in!
