This is the type of joke you'd expect from South Park or Family Guy.
South Park basically had an entire episode based on the premise.
The problem is, the audience for those shows is completely different from the audience for a hockey broadcast. You'd expect that from South Park, but not MacLean.
A stupid and offensive mistake. Probably not worth being fired over though, based on his track record.
I do think he should be fired, but only because he sucks and is an Oilers homer.
Slightly off topic, but I also question the humbleness of anyone who writes an autobiography about themselves. Unless it's someone like Michael Jordon or Obama. Or someone who has overcome extreme hardships.
