The Toronto Sun says homosexuals are losers

|
We almost missed this one from Mike Zeisberger in last Friday's Toronto Sun:

Walk into most NHL dressing rooms after a game these days, and what you often find is a group of millionaire athletes who would rather bite their tongues than offer a juicy sound byte that might ruffle feathers.


That wasn't Iafrate's style, as evidenced by his once famous statement, claiming empty-net goals were for losers.

More than a decade after he uttered those controversial words, people still remember them. And him.

I do indeed still remember Iafrate's controversial words. Once, when questioned about missing an empty net chance, Iafrate explained his gaffe by saying:

"Empty net goals are for homos."

So what is it Zeisberger? Are you whitewashing Iafrate's statement in order to not offend the progressive sensibilities of Sun readers, or are "Homo" and "Loser" synonyms in your book?
