“The Francophone-English Divide in Sports Media: Criticisms, Controversies and What’s Next for the Hurricanes”

After his team’s elimination in four games once morest the Florida Panthers, Rod Brind’Amour came to the defense of his guys, saying that the result of the series might have been different.

Basically, it’s true that the matches were close and that they might have gone either way.

Steve Dangle, a Sportsnet reporter, took to his quote on Twitter saying that if Sheldon Keefe had offered a similar speech in Toronto, people would hear regarding it for a very long time.

But by the same token, the principal interested party decided to criticize the TVA Sports channel by affirming that it would have had an hour-long discussion regarding this subject with experts “saying 3-4 French words between crying laughter,” as if nothing was ever taken seriously.

This is an arrow that is thrown directly not only at TVA Sports, but also at francophones.

What’s the point of making comments like that? And, where does all this come from?

It is obvious that the relationship between the French media and the English media is not perfect. Recall that in 2020, a TSN journalist by the name of JD Burke criticized Francophones by saying that “French Canadians were the worst racists of all Francophones in the world”.

But while there are some differences between the two worlds, that’s no excuse to head over to Twitter and criticize a competitive outlet.

And once more, it’s absolutely useless. Dangle might clearly have saved himself a little embarrassment.

– What a season he will have had in Edmonton!

– What’s next for the Hurricanes, who are still looking to take it to the next level?
