Well that goes without saying. 11 hours ago, NewbieCanuckFan said: It wasn't just the anti-masking stance but literally every right wing-nut Freedumb convoy stance. Well the solitary reason he was fired was for saying he would sing at an anti-masking rally. But why do you care about the politics of an anthem singer? I mean it's not like anyone is asking you to invite him into your home to discuss controversial issues of the day. Do you not believe in diversity? Live and let live?

Btw I dont need to create a political narrative. Everyone already knows who is and isnt on the right side of history. Firing a crowd up is what jim cornelison does. Donnelly was cringe beyond belief.

Don't give him too much credit...people are there to have fun and a singing pika and dog races also really fire the crowd up. I mean, when the team comes out for warm ups they get quite a reception as well. He was more recipient of that ovation/attention than creator of it. Donelly did his job but he was not the star of the show (like he seemingly thought)...the team on the ice was/is. If he didn't want his views/stance to be considered when he was on his own time perhaps he should've just promoted himself as himself...not as "the Canucks anthem singer". By tying them into his extra-curricular activities, he got everything he deserved. Smug, arrogant...that's how he comes across. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep wondering... why the heck did he feel he needed to put on skates? What an ego. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm certain he knew the Canuck players, not he, were "the star(s) of the show". He did not "come across as smug, arrogant" to me. I always saw him as an entertainer who completely understood his role. Perhaps he deserved to be fired, perhaps he didn't, all I know is that I for one loved the job he did as an anthem singer. You are of course entitled to believe otherwise. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gassy Jack Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Gassy Jack: “Are you creating a false narrative for political reasons brother?” EddieVedder: “I dont need to create a political narrative. Everyone already knows who is and isnt on the right side of history.” Oh the irony of using a political catch phrase such as the virtue-signaling “right side of history” whilst denying one’s excessive political nature lol.
