OT: Gil LeBreton Compares Canadians to Nazis...




...and people are all pissed about it. The He stopped short of actually calling Canadians Nazis, but, in his Feb. 28 column, the Fort Worth Star Telegram sports writer did compare the Canadians' intense nationalism to that of Hitler's Germany during the 1936 Olympic Games.

I like LeBreton well enough. He's not my favorite, but I don't think he sucks either. But this was not a bright thing to do.

Here is the original story. Here is his blathering, faux apology. Here is Deadspin's take on the whole thing. Here is a facebook page calling for his head. Here is the Sporting News story that wonders if LeBreton started a border war.
