I think it's ironic that everybody is roasting the reporter for reporting it, but it is all of them that are bringing attention to Thornton for it. If they really had any interest in protecting the honour of the OTR comment, they would have let it die a quick death, but instead are using this as an opportunity to report on the story while not being "that guy".

Also, I hate the comment. I am very proud that the NHL has a good reputation for having some very well-spoken athletes, compared to other professional sports. Stuff like this makes the NHL come across as bush league and full of degenerates.
