Bill Watters, wtf?

Pan The Parade - Pension Plan Puppets

"Well, I’m at a loss. The only… you’ve got to look through his statistics, he’s got some offensive flair, he is not what you would call a rugged, truculent, testosteronic, guy… He’s more of a 3rd of July parade guy. He likes to enjoy the good life and I don’t, I just can’t put a reason behind why you’d give up on a 6’5 defenceman with offensive skill unless he’s just a bit too soft."



did he just call Cody Franson a 'mo?

Watters has always been a goof, so this comes as no surprise. He's got some explainin' to do though (and probably put Burkie at the top of the list).

Meanwhile a number of commenters on the site emailed AM640's director of programming Gord Harris for an explanation of Watters' comments and they all received the same email. Follow us over the jump to read it.

Mr.,

Thank you for contacting me and expressing your concern about something you heard (or heard or read about) on AM640.

Bill Watters tried to clarify his remark with the phrase "he likes to enjoy the good life" – meaning he likes to have a good time or, in popular vernacular, "to party".

While some may have interpreted his words to be a reference to sexual orientation or stereotype, that was not the intent.

It was perhaps, an unfortunate reference to ‘celebration’, and we regret the fact some have read more meaning into it than there was.

Sincerely,

Gord
