Ron McLean is a long way from being admired on the world of sports media, most often being criticized for how he hosts Hockey Night in Canada. He's continuing to alienate himself from viewers and seems to always be in hot water one way or the other.
Last night, when interviewing Pittsburgh Penguins President of Hockey Operations Brian Burke about the NHL's Pride initiative, fans took issue with Maclean's line approach while praising Burke for his interview, take a look:
Hey, so Brian Burke was great in that intermission segment on Pride Nights...
...but can we talk about Ron MacLean casually suggesting that we need to find a "compromise" and "middle ground" with replacement theory, which is a white supremacist conspiracy theory?
One has to wonder if Ron MacLean is out of touch, as some have suggested for a long time now, is this further proof?
MacLean made things worse by bringing up Aristotle's philosophies, which have been long outdated.
Everyone has their own opinions on the subject, but dancing around the issue on national TV wasn't a good look.
