White fragility is one hell of a drug.
I wonder how the racists at HF are taking this news... probably already started a gofundme for this piece of shit.

So I think you're mostly catching flak for things you chose, Jer. Like talking on air about wanting to fuck a coworker with your wife. Or supporting a racist internet troll with no substance for president. Choices bud.
It's time for straight white men to rise up and demand the same freedoms and protections as everyone else!
I visit my local teams board from time to time and never noticed but is it common place there?
"Ass and boobs everywhere" this sounds like something a 17 year old would say. Grow the fuck up.
More-so on the mainboards but a lot of the team boards too since hockey's demographics skew male, white and conservative.
Every thread that deals with racism, misogyny or social issues on that board turn into an absolute mess. In the Akim Aliu thread, for example, posters explicitly defended Peters calling Akim Aliu the n-word and victim blamed while the mods stood by and ignored it. Same thing happened in the threads talking about racist abuse in the minor hockey system, Simmonds having the banana thrown at him etc.
I'd been a member there (same username as here) since 2013ish with over 40k posts and just grew tired of it. Finally called out the admins and mods in the Aliu thread for promoting and encouraging racist posters to run rampant and they permanently banned me almost immediately. It's a complete cesspool.
Finally someone stands up for us long-suffering straight white males. Bravo... you fucking idiot.
He's saying "why does Johnny Weir get to make sex jokes without repercussions?"
Jeremy Roenick is an immature asshole who should have recognized joking about having a threesome with your coworker and wife on a national podcast is sexist and fucks Tappin over.
Obviously no one should be allowed to sexually objectify anyone regardless of orientation but the defense that "someone else did it so I should be able to" is really dumb. I thought Roenick was an amazing player but anyone that supports Trump comes with so much baggage that they have to be a totally shit person.
I like to I think if I was suing my former employer I'd be able to come up with a better lie than this.
He has something here. The law clearly states you cannot discriminate 'based on race, religion, political affiliation, and creepiness.'
this is pretty much the mission statement of barstool. they'll probably hire him after this
Not surprising. Considering when he played hockey in the 90s and 2000s the locker rooms are probably full of this sort of "jokes" from "alpha males".
Yeah I remember Teemu Selänne defending Roenick too when this went down. And Teemu usually tries to keep this pure, good guy image. Big with children's charities and all. Though Teemu was very vocal about sexual assault and harassment specifically from immigrants and refugees few years back, guess he still isn't going to call out his own buddies for inappropriate sexual behaviour.
