Should Ron MacLean Be Fired

[techrtr]

Good thing no one is doing surveillance on me because pretty much anything that comes out of my mouth would offend someone and I don't care. Jeez, Trud-oh is apologizing to the italians today, Mclean apologizing to the LGBTYWSZZAPP community tomorrow for a comment that could be taken 10,000 different ways depending on who heard it. Enough already.

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

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

Sounds Canadian to me!

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.

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

Certainly whataboutism is rampant.

Ron McLean is in no position to be commenting on or mocking other men who have been photographed bare-chested. He's not above going shirtless himself... indoors in public places.

See the link below, but just in case anyone is offended, I'm going to leave the ".jpg" off the end. You can add it to the link and see the photo.

Typhoon44, all the people you watch and listen to are stuck up woke nothings.

Feels great to put down others eh?

If you don't have anything nice or constructive to say...

And now we know why he apologized. He's a Liberal.

I watched Don Cherry for all of my life while he was on TV. Does that make him a stuck up woke nothing? It sure don't make him right.

You watched a guy your whole life (so recently into Donny's old age) that you refer to as a person who "dodders". You also said he likes fighting, hates immigrants, and was mostly non-coherent.

Why watch him your whole life then and put him down on his way out?

Must be fun to be your friend lol.

Yup, it just leaves you shaking your head.

Who didn't watch Hockey Night in Canada. You can use garbage rhetoric as a training tool to teach others how not to be.
I don't need you to be my friend.

Lol, I don't / didn't more than a couple of times a year, so not everyone watched it.

This is not the same thing as the Don thing.
His mistake was totally innocent in my opinion, and if the person he directed at isn't offended, and he isn't a person with any record of purposely offending people, perhaps some people are reaching too hard for the hurt button.

Ron McLean always tries to make some kind of pun or joke as he's exiting a segment. A flub like this was bound to happen. McLean's just so vanilla that I'm sure he didn't mean to insult anybody.

What I can't stand about Mclean is his name-dropping when he discusses somebodies background. He often gets names and places wrong, but he tries to come across as some kind of old family friend of so many people. He's a hubris fake.
