There's no excuse for having an all white cast anymore, so bringing in talented guys like Singh and Amber are welcome additions. The talent is there, CBC has to go the extra mile to find it.

I hate that the race card comes into play just because people are displeased with Singh... because that's the furthest thing from anyone's issue here. Nobody is asking for an all white broadcast team, people are simply voicing their displeasure with how certain people call the games. That comes down to their personality and skill level, not the color of their skin.
Let's not bring the 'woke' culture into hockey now please, there's enough of it out there.
