Regardless of what you think of the guy it is a sad state when they don’t get his name right and miss that he’s a UFC vet. Could you imagine the cries of outrage that would happen if something like this was published:
NHL fan, Pavell Burray…
I get more heat for spelling Corey Houston without an ‘E’.
Brutal,brutal job by CBC.
Well-loved!

The comments section on that article are horrible too. While it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the left leaning tend to gravitate towards CBC the comments remind just how far the sport still has to go to gain public approval.
Biggie!
I know Bigboi we missed you. Go on vacation recently?
New Job has been keeping me pretty busy. I did get cuddles from a UFC vet over the weekend though. That was nice.
