You can probably do better than to try and mock and guy for “acting like a female,” right? Surely your own masculinity isn’t that fragile.

Call him fake-woke or whatever, but I don’t think derogatory words suggesting femininity fly around here. And I think most adults are above that.
I don't think there is anything particularly feminine about what he said though? He said he was bland and plain. It's like calling someone milquetoast. And frankly, that's exactly what Rintoul is. He's not particularly remarkable, and now you add an Oilers fan to that for 4 hours a day.

The choices being made at that station these days are perplexing. I feel like it's an incredibly difficult job, so I don't want to take a run at the on-air people. You could have the most insightful and knowledgeable broadcaster there and some people would hate them. But from a pure programming perspective, it's tough to see how they can manage to screw things up. They have no competition in a city that supports athletics at basically every level and across a range of different sports. Yet, here we are with a guy from Vancouver and an Oilers fan about to take the lions share of the workday. It's hilariously inept.
