Toronto Maple Leafs Fire Coach for Liking Conservative Social Media Posts
breitbart ^ | 18 Aug 2021 | WARNER TODD HUSTON

The Toronto Maple Leafs hired Dusty Imoo to be goaltending coach for the Marlies. Still, they fired him only two days later when the club found out he had “liked” a long list of Trump MAGA tweets, especially tweets posted during the January 6th Capitol riot.

Imoo, 51, appeared to support many of the tweets flying around Twitter that fateful day, some that accused Vice President Mike Pence of being a traitor, others that reacted in glee at the size of the crowd at Trump’s rally that day.

In other social media posts, it appeared that Imoo was supportive of those who oppose the coronavirus vaccination.

According to the Toronto Sun, Imoo’s social media “likes” did not represent the team’s goal of creating an “inclusive environment.”

“Dusty Imoo will not be joining the Toronto Marlies,” the team told the paper. “We made a mistake not thoroughly following our organizational protocols when considering this candidate for the position.

“Imoo’s activity was indeed a bad look for the club,” the Sun added, “who under Shanahan and general manager Kyle Dubas have championed an inclusive environment around the Leafs, with women in prominent player-development positions, multicultural initiatives, and support for gays in hockey and other sports.”

An “inclusive environment” means everyone is a leftist zombie—or else!

Nothing they said make sense. He didn’t think like them, so he’s fired because they want to be inclusive?

Hockey, though technically not played with a ball, shows itself to still be sportsball. The NHL isn’t quite as bad as most of the rest, but it’s pretty bad.

...supposedly there are 1.3 million lawyers in the U.S. Probably about half of them would take this case pro bono!

If not baking a cake for someone violates his/her rights then firing somebody for what they THINK sure as hell does too.

If you post on “ social media “, you are a lifelong target of the Thought Police.

Unfortunate, but true.

From what I’ve read about Canada; people don’t actually have rights there.

The Leafs haven’t won the Cup since 1967. A loser franchise acting like losers.

“18 Aug 2021 | WARNER TODD HUSTON”

Ah, yes. Warner Tard Huston.
I remember how he let his hate for FR get out of hand and was laughed off the site.
