The question of what to do next is difficult.Should that host ever work in TV again? I don’t know. Should John Rocker or Bill Peters starve to death? Probably not, but I wouldn’t go to flames games if he was the coach. Is there any way to restoration after comments like that? I don’t know but it’s a question society needs to figure out. If an 18 year old says the N word there should be consequences but probably not for 50 years.

So to recap:
You think a database that tracks everyone with wrong think or distasteful comments is a good thing, but it shouldn't be created and maintained by the government. Maybe just an unqualified group of vigilantes, whose standards should come from the court of public opinion. But it should definitely include any statement that says Person A's kids are better off without Person A.
And you don't know what the consequences should be. Maybe they don't get a job, maybe they get fired, maybe they face an onslaught of endless and threatening harrassment, maybe they die. Maybe not. Or maybe yes.
You've had a big day. CorsiLeagueHockey said something you took issue with you've championed them being entered into a database for later "consequences". All reichey then.
