Jason Whitlock In Hot Water For Offensive Comments Against Canadians

Yep, this is what America’s come to. From last night’s “Olbermann”:

Andrew Wiggins is from Canada, and Canadian athletes (I think, among NBA players and NBA people) perhaps don’t want it as much as even some of the Europeans and certainly the American players.

And now, Awful Announcing’s Josh Gold-Smith:

Whitlock will use the whole “other-people-believe-this” defense forever, but as you can see, his prejudice is clear. “I think they think” means you think, and if you don’t disagree, you’re condoning it…Broad, sweeping, inaccurate generalizations about the ineffectiveness of Canadian athletes aren’t likely to move the needle as far as social media outrage, but this is exactly the kind of insulting, baseless commentary ESPN signed up for when they re-hired Jason Whitlock.

So there you go, another privileged American treating Canadians unfairly. When the “Corner Gas” movie comes out this fall, better not say anything unflattering, or you might lose your job.
