Who gives a shite? The NHL player is living out his dream and is only a victim if he allows himself to be.
Let the miserable people get upset.

If he didn't lose his job in the next 3 days, 99% of the Twitter outrage wouldn't even know he was still employed.
Now if he made a PK Subban joke....

Don’t give a rats arse about this guy being a heya hoya but why the hell would John Anderson make fun of anyone’s name live on the air no matter what it is. It’s a professionalism issue.

Never apologize, does you no good if you're in media.

The nonsensical joke attempt made it worse. If you're going to be edgy, at least be funny.

As LV defenseman Zach Whitecloud was putting a shot in the net on the screen, Anderson said, "Zach Whitecloud -- what kind of name is Whitecloud?"
Great name if you’re a toilet paper," he added.
The absolute horror.

Zach looks about as Indian as Elizabeth Warren.
And the only apology should be for the quality of the joke. Terrible. Toilet paper ? Come on man.

Meh. Sportscenter anchors used to go to town making jokes with athlete names. Different era I guess. Have to make sure it's not an ethnic or sacred name I guess.
Eric Sleeping With Bieniemy was a classic.

Chris Berman calling players stuff like Jeff "Philadelphia" Feagles, Rollie "Chicken" Fingers and Chuck "New Kids on The" Knoblauch is juuuust a tad bit different than Anderson saying "Zach Whitecloud -- what kind of name is Whitecloud? Great name if you're a toilet paper."

Is it really?

Yea it is.
I agree with boat saying things like that is a professionalism issue more than anything. I don’t think people should be getting bent all out of shape about it but it’s not a good look either.

I guess that this is where we disagree. It’s pretty innocuous, imo.

I bet John is just glad his name wasn't Blackcloud
