-DLC- Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 My biggest issue with Ron is how hard he tries to be cool/relevant. He comes off as dorky and phoney. Trying to fit in. I can't stand him and how he flip flops to save face, but can't really see anything here that's a huge issue. Just Ron being Ron. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Cherry gets fired for "you people", there is no excuse for Sportsnet to continue to employ this oxygen thief. That's an entirely different kettle of fish. No doubt a scumbag move however. And the Burrows ass kissing tour he was on for years after was a hilarious attempt to make up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I don’t understand how someone would get offended about that. Live TV though I guess, never know. Kinda stupid joke anyway. Ron should have just admitted he made a mistake instead of some bull story about rum haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire somebody if they want immigrants to wear a poppy to remember the fallen soldiers of the country they live in. 2. Keep somebody if they take a shot at the LGBTQ2S+ community. I guess tarps off Ron... The problem is Cherry has had a long history of saying outrageous things and getting away with it; only time become his enemy. Had he said that statement about immigrants and poppies 20 hell 10 years ago he would have gotten away with it. In this decade cancel culture will claim many people. Although the LGBTQ2S+ community faces alot of hate I believe this comment was more of a joke than anything. Definitely not as serious as the Cherry's statement; and not warranted of a sacking.

I know it was all in fun but if they fired Don for what he did then I think Ron should get fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 The fact that I assume was an intern, or stagehand, put on a green body suit, and Ron yells "Take it off" in jest. Shows the guy is pretty creepy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squamfan Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Chris Rock was right you can't make a joke without offending someone. It was also a steroid joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 (edited) If they don’t fire him the snowball is set. Another incident from Sportsnet would just get ball rolling. It could end up real ugly. Once something else happens with Sportsnet people are gonna look back at this with flak. Edited May 27, 2021 by Junkyard Dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamhuis Hip Check Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Do i think he was intentionally being homophobic? No i really think he thought it was a harmless joke and didnt mean anything by it. Will i put an ounce of effort into defending this piece of garbage? Heck no. Will i be sad at all if this controversy helps get him off HNIC permanently? Once again heck no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was also a steroid joke Ron told Bieksa that because he has a picture of a shirtless guy in his backdrop, that Bieksa would definitely test positive for something. How do you equate that to steroids? It came off very much like he was talking about HIV / aids. Plus, I think Bieksa had the infamous naked picture of Kesler behind him too. I don't believe the positive test for "rum" apology for a moment. Ron deserves some criticism here, as much as people want to brush it off as cancel culture. That kind of "humour" doesn't cut it on taxpayer funded national broadcasting these days. Edited May 27, 2021 by Slegr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucksfollower1983 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 not a fan of his but honestly all this hyper sensitive stuff that's going on needs to end. it was just banter but he's on tv so now the pc police have to come for him and cost him his job. how long until the police come knocking at your door because you said something someone didn't like? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people wouldn't be all over him as much here if he hadn't disgraced his country, the network, the sport, and his whole family by dedicating 7 minutes to try to discredit Burrows when he had the courage to do the right thing and expose a corrupt official. I want this unprofessional piece of garbage off the air by whatever means necessary, and I know I'm not alone here. Rotten Ronnie should have been a couple of pages of a Victoria's Secret catalogue that got stuck together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dislike him for the same reason but I'm talking about the bigger picture here. the woke/cancel culture that has popped up in the last couple years is at the point where its going to far. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
