Pretty sure anthem singers are gig work that is paid per performance rather than on a contract or on a salary. Probably a lot of cases where it's free, such as when the military does it.

A lot of jobs now have stipulations about behaviour that reflects poorly on the organization. Even outside of work. It's not about "opinions"....it's about blatantly ignoring Public Health orders that result in fines. These are regulations that are in place and he's defying them. They have every right to cut ties based on this. They likely have a contract in place (yes some do work on a contractual basis) that goes over things like this. 5 2 14 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drummer4now Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Very poor decision on the franchise... it goes in part with mask wearers who improperly wear them. Early on Dr. Bonnie Henry stated she didn't want to enforce a mandatory mask rule now she has down a complete 180 on this decision...

Popular Post coolboarder Posted December 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 5, 2020 I do not even agree with the owner's action where his free time shouldn't reflect the organization unless he is a criminal but this is not a crime to express your opinion on any government policies that the government impose the policy on us. Whatever the players or any of his employee during their time that is not under company's time do is not the company's business. If every company does that, there'd be no free speech left and will have some consequences in the future. Free speech helps to hold the government accountable for their action and the company shouldn't interfere them in any way. Perhaps the company might try to get in a good favor with the government concern the tax breaks which shouldn't be allowed, imo. If nobody holds the government in check, then who will hold them accountable if the free speech is gone. 2 5 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post -DLC- Posted December 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 5, 2020 You've gotta wonder about a guy who's against wearing a little piece of cloth to try to help save lives but will inject himself with a pregnancy hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin, to look and feel better about himself. Quote "It was a bit embarrassing to be out there on the ice with all these fine-tuned athletes and here I am lumbering out there as the caricature of the opera singer," the singer told Global News in a story about his diet. All about me stuff. What about embarrassing the team? I always thought he was kinda weird. Those defending him don't understand that we've BEEN ORDERED BY PUBLIC HEALTH to take some measures. It's not "opinion" based, it's science based. Anti maskers are a joke to me...they'd likely wear: a hallowe'en mask to a party; a balaclava skiing; a full face motorcycle helmet; etc.. But this cotton piece????....don't make me do it. 4 1 14 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Junkyard Dog Posted December 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 5, 2020 Damn that sucks. He helped make Vancouver feel more distinct and unique despite only being an anthem singer. Everybody doing a 180 from him too. How quickly public opinion can change. Double Oof. 1 1 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I personally wear a mask just because of the feel of it especially during winter I formally believe people should have the right to wear one or not.. IMO people improperly wearing masks do more harm than ones who don't.. The evidence behind them saving lives is also iffy. 1 3 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The part you're missing is that business owners have rights too. The evidence is more leaned toward masks helping...it's common sense. Ever notice that doctors and nurses have been wearing them long before covid? It's not a new thing. You don't spew as many droplets when wearing a mask (duh). Sneeze when you're driving and check your windshield. Then do it again wearing a mask. It isn't rocket science. People have to: wear seatbelts, not smoke near others, refrain from drinking and driving, etc. There are many things that are "controlled" because, in society, it's not just about ourselves. We have to also think of others as responsible citizens of the world. I don't get the whining over masks...they're not "tough" to wear. 6 8 7 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My God, what would this group of people have done if they were drafted back in the day. I'm not so sure the people who would either go to war or take a stand like Muhammad Ali vs. the ones that would run to Canada would be on the same side of the mask stuff as you think.

The masks can still spread the virus if someone takes it off and forgets to sanitize them. Either way please end this pandemic 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not true, many companies have policies in their contracts regarding things like social media use and misrepresenting the company. As a professional hockey player you don't just play for the team, you also represent the brand. Same thing goes for professionals like social workers, child and youth care workers, ect. You don't get to be a social worker working in child protection for the government and affiliate yourself with the Hell's Angels. That's an extreme example, but you get what I'm saying. It's like how you see folks lose their jobs and the like for being racist on social media. Freedom of speech and expression isn't freedom from the consequences of said speech.
