In this case we know he was a really bad broadcaster, which of course is an opinion, when he was handed the late night HNIC games. He's mostly adequate now after a decade and half on the job, but has been demoted to the #4 guy. This is the problem with DEI. It's impossible to know if anyone has earned their job on merit because we've decided race and sex is now more important to the hiring problem. C'est la vie, we voted for this.
Personally I think it's far more important to be able to talk about the costs and benefits to decisions like these rather than trying to shut down all conversation by lobbing accusations around. In this case, Gator might just want his hockey games to come with, you know, good play by play.
Personally, I'm just glad he stopped singing after goals.

No one at Rogers or Sportsnet was voted in. There's no government mandate to make sure PBP guys are ethnically diverse. You're talking about a private company making a decision on a hire - a company who historically has made a large number of really poor hiring decisions around their broadcasts. Singh isn't close to the worst person they've had on their team and many of those guys have kept their roles a really long time. I mean, these guys had Glenn Healy as a major part of their broadcast for years. They gave Mark Spector a primetime role for a while. Nick Kypreos was the STAR for them for ages!!!
|
I'd say Singh was and is worse than those guys, but again, that's just an opinion. Early Greg Millen was the absolute worst, but that's just me.
I think it's awfully naive to think private companies are pressured by governments and the people who elect them. But at least you're finally onboard with this being a "really poor hiring decision" :)
Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.
