Maple Leafs renege on Dusty Imoo hire, call decision a 'mistake' after Twitter 'likes' surface

"Just vemember. Zis is Canada. Vee are vatching you. Vee see vat tweets zhou like, zee political party zhou support. Vee can do as vee pleez to make zhou suffer and beg from zee streets!"

Notice the creepy busy-body who "outed" the goalie coach. There were a couple who looked into his tweet like history and posted it, so that the Leafs were forced to fire the guy.

There are a few things you can't be in Canada: a supporter of the U.S, a supporter of Trump, a person of Faith (especially Christian), or, a libertarian.

You can do all kinds of creepy things to our youth, as long as you are an "important person", but don't dare support responsible government or have your own thoughts.

Maple Leafs renege on Dusty Imoo hire, call decision a 'mistake' after Twitter 'likes' surface

The Maple Leafs have acknowledged a serious error in the hiring of Dusty Imoo after a collection of concerning "likes" were discovered on his Twitter page.

Dusty Imoo will not be joining the Toronto Maple Leafs organization after all.

Maple Leafs president and alternate governor Brendan Shanahan announced Tuesday that Imoo, who was originally hired over the weekend by the Toronto Marlies to serve as the American Hockey League affiliate's goaltending coach, will not be joining the organization.

Shanahan says the organization made the mistake of failing to "thoroughly" follow organizational protocols when making the decision to hire Imoo.

Shanahan did not mention Imoo's beliefs or social media activity, but the decision presumably stems from the wide-ranging collection of concerning "likes" or endorsements on his Twitter page, which has since been deactivated. Imoo appeared to endorse anti-Black and transphobic ideologies, while also supporting right-wing conspiracies and support for the insurrection on Capitol Hill in January. He also supported anti-vaccination sentiments.

Less and less freedom everywhere in the West, aka Christendom.

Thus we import millions of non-Christians into the West, Mohammedans, Hindus, Sikhs, etc.; the better to do away with the Christian foundation of our societies, of which America was the highest of all. Or, as Øbama called them, 'bitter clingers'.

Why do people think that corporations or sports teams want to be represented by reprehensible bigots like this clown? Like it or not, this guy is the face of the franchise, unless he is somehow eclipsed by a standout player.

And when you have someone as that face who supported a violent insurrection against democracy by deranged thugs and also likes to mock minorities, well, if you don't understand why he is not wanted by now, you're likely as much of a moron as this guy.

He liked comments, he didn't make any himself. The better question should be, "why are companies so creepy and people so concerned with a guys political views"? Should presidents and politicians be removed from office for creepy things they've said in the past or even outright lies?

Imagine if every person who didn't appeal to the corporate speak all left America for say, China. How much talent, innovation, ambitious and success would you lose?

The company buckled. They should have just told him to delete his account and then stay silent. He was a minor league goalie coach, but he also works with Leafs #1 Campbell with great success.

If the Leafs falter because their goalie fails, it will be poetic. Let people be who they are when they are in their own homes. Twitter is creepy, so are any companies or government agencies who get excited at the idea of peeking at peoples social media. Creeepy
