Thrillhaus Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Did anyone hear this on the morning show today? Absolutely crazy! Pratt essentially said Kevin Pillar and Rosa Parks were similar because they both brought out the good from a bad thing happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigturk8 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I was listening to that. He wasn't saying that Pillar was like Rosa Parks, but that the situation was similar because the outcome had people talking about the issues. It's still ridiculous though. I was shaking my head the whole time he was talking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he may have said they were similar once he got called out and was just rambling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plagiarism, buffoonery, Pratt has all the markets cornered. He is the single worst guy on 1040. I would donate $200 to the charity of 1040's choice if they got rid of the guy.

Tortorella's Rant Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 The whole thing is ridiculous. From the comparison made, to the apology, to the suspension itself. And it doesn't help when there's more than a few members of the gay, transgendered, and "gender neutral" community coast to coast acting like a bunch of little fascists nowadays demanding people to conform to their standards and to be shunned/held responsible if they don't. The one girl on the CBC said she's a huge Pillar fan but that this was a "huge step back." LOL get &^@#ing real lady, you nor anybody else was a victim so quit pretending.

People that get upset about other people getting upset.... I'm also not too sure how apologizing is ridiculous, or is getting suspended. You do this in any work environment and there are going to be consequences. There shouldn't be any confusion about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is a complete and utter waste of air time. 1040 will soon die if they don't get some quality people (who are actual hockey experts) into their programs full time. There is a new station coming, which (now) has the Canuck's rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL get &^@#ing real lady, you nor anybody else was a victim so quit pretending. two ideas here to consider: 1. how does respecting the rights of someone else take anything away from you personally? and 2. part of people feeling like they can't live in society or have to hide who they are is in part due to stuff like this. I think back to a joke Louis CK made about this kind of thing, he says the worst thing you can call a straight white guy is "cracker" as a white straight guy I think about that and realize that I really never have to deal with anything from a slur-perspective, so when other people do its worth thinking a bit about what that might be like. Just a suggestion, do with it what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
