RELATED STORIES

Hockey commentator Jeremy Roenick is firing back at NBC Sports, accusing his former employer of discriminating against him for being straight.

Roenick was fired by NBC Sports back in February after he made sexually suggestive remarks about colleagues Kathryn Tappen and Patrick Sharp on a podcast. Now Roenick has filed a lawsuit against the network in New York Supreme Court, claiming wrongful termination and discrimination based on gender or sexual orientation, according to our sister site Variety.

Roenick’s lawsuit states that figure skating commentator Johnny Weir made “colorful commentary” about skaters’ body parts for NBC Sports during the 2018 Winter Olympics, and when Roenick asked his supervisor about that, the supervisor responded that Weir “is gay and can say whatever.” Roenick’s suit also points to a promotional video featuring Weir and on-air partner Tara Lipinski that included vulgar language; Weir and Lipinski were not suspended or fired.

Roenick also claims that he was fired because the network was retaliating against him for his support of President Donald Trump. When he asked for permission to speak at the 2016 Republican National Convention, he alleges he was told: “You know who you work for. You work for NBC. That would not look good on your NBC record.”

A nine-time NHL All Star who retired in 2009, Roenick joined the NBC Sports team as a commentator and studio analyst the following year. Roenick was suspended and eventually fired for comments he made on a podcast about Tappen and Sharp. Roenick recalled a trip to Portugal that he and his wife Tracey took with Tappen and implied he wanted to have a threesome with her. He also called Sharp “so beautiful” and added that “I wouldn’t say no right away” if Sharp invited him to bed.

One of the most powerful government officials in Washington, a holdover appointed by his predecessor, was driving him crazy, impeding his agenda at every turn with his recalcitrant independence. And so, finally, the president, without consulting anyone beyond a close circle of aides, decided to pull the trigger. With a stroke of a pen — one that struck the nation “like a thunderbolt,” according to The New York Times — he notified the prominent federal official by letter that his services were no longer needed, instantly transforming one of the most disliked men in Washington into a sympathetic figure, even a martyr.

The president in question wasn’t Donald Trump, whose precipitous firing of FBI Director James Comey has shaken Washington once again, or even Richard Nixon. It was the first American president to be impeached: Andrew Johnson. When he summarily dismissed his secretary of war, the abrasive Edwin Stanton, in February 1868, Johnson sparked a constitutional storm that would engulf his turbulent presidency. Three days later, he was impeached by the House of Representatives; three weeks later he was on trial for his presidency before the Senate.

The impeachment trap had been set, and Johnson just couldn’t stop himself from stepping in it.

Seeking to balance the ticket in his bid for re-election, president Abraham Lincoln and his Republican Party chose Johnson, a senator from Tennessee and a pro-war Southern Democrat, as his running mate in 1864. When Lincoln was assassinated just weeks into his second term, Johnson, who had kicked off his vice presidency by getting publicly intoxicated on Inauguration Day, assumed office. Like Donald Trump, Johnson was a brash businessman-turned-politician, a Democratic turncoat and admirer of former president Andrew Jackson, and Johnson’s stubborn, erratic nature continually confounded Republicans in Congress, who had hoped he would help them politically. And while he didn’t lambast any “so-called judges,” Johnson was not above insulting his political opponents, including other branches of government, once rebuking the House and Senate as “a body called or which assumes to be the Congress of the United States.”

Andrew Johnson

Given Johnson’s many political missteps and his torpedoing of the Republican agenda on critical post-war efforts, including the integration of former slaves and the reconstruction of the South, talk of impeaching the president began early. But, as David O. Stewart chronicles in Impeached, the attempts by his Republican opponents in Congress, including firebrand Thaddeus Stevens, gained little traction. “No matter how many ill-advised quarrels the president picked, no matter how many apparent blunders he committed,” Stewart writes, “Stevens could not find the formula for a successful impeachment.”

So in 1867, Stevens and his colleagues enacted a law (over Johnson’s veto) known as the Tenure of Office Act, which prohibited the president from firing Senate-confirmed officials without the Senate’s approval. A violation of the act would constitute a “high crime and misdemeanor.” The impeachment trap had been set, and Johnson just couldn’t stop himself from stepping in it. Believing the act to be unconstitutional (and indeed the Supreme Court later declared it was), Johnson chose to fight. On February 21, 1868, he dismissed Stanton, who had repeatedly locked horns with the president, replacing him with an underwhelming, but obedient, adjutant-general.

Johnson’s bold act had immediate repercussions. Stanton refused to leave his office (literally locking the door) and for a period, a confused nation had two war secretaries. Stevens knew the time for impeachment had come, and a few days later, House Republicans approved 11 articles of impeachment. Johnson’s subsequent trial in the Senate lasted for almost three months, but he would ultimately escape conviction by a single vote after some Republicans, impressed by the president’s penitence, including his appointment of the more qualified Gen. John Schofield as war secretary, voted against removal.

Johnson’s impeachment in 1868 is the closest the U.S. has ever come to forcing out a president, and given the circumstances and forces aligned against Johnson, it should give us pause as to whether any U.S. president will ever be forced to go. Not only did the mercurial Johnson lack the legitimacy of an elected president, but as Michael Les Benedict, author of The Impeachment and Trial of Andrew Johnson, points out, the opposing party held two-thirds majorities in both houses of Congress, pro-Johnson Southern whites were not even represented in that body, and public opinion in the North supported his removal. “One lesson to learn from the Johnson impeachment is how hard it actually is to impeach and convict,” Benedict tells OZY. “If any impeachment should have succeeded, that one should have.”

Unlike Johnson, the duly elected Trump still has support from a large minority of the country and his party controls both houses of Congress. And like Johnson, Trump still has time to convince his critics that he will respect constitutional boundaries, including by appointing a well-respected FBI director. Still, even if he was not removed from office, Johnson’s fate should remain a cautionary tale for all American presidents. Even if Congress is kind, history may not be.

One of the most powerful government officials in Washington, a holdover appointed by his predecessor, was driving him crazy, impeding his agenda at every turn with his recalcitrant independence. And so, finally, the president, without consulting anyone beyond a close circle of aides, decided to pull the trigger. With a stroke of a pen — one that struck the nation “like a thunderbolt,” according to The New York Times — he notified the prominent federal official by letter that his services were no longer needed, instantly transforming one of the most disliked men in Washington into a sympathetic figure, even a martyr.

“CNN and Temple University should have celebrated Hill’s call for justice and equality, but instead used it as an opportunity to silence and intimidate those who criticize the state of Israel,” reads the letter, which has been signed by over 500 students, 200 professors, and dozens of student groups as of Thursday.

CNN fired Hill, a black man, after a speech he gave in support of Palestinian rights to the United Nations was condemned as anti-Semitic by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and other pro-Israel groups. The Temple University media studies professor denounced Israel’s “ethnic cleansing” and called for a “free Palestine from the river to the sea” on the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People last Thursday.

The academics slammed CNN for ignoring the meaning of Hill’s speech, which was delivered on the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and “conflat[ing] criticism of the Israeli state with anti-Semitism” – a rhetorical sleight-of-hand the ADL and its allies have controversially attempted to enshrine in law. They also took the ADL to task for its “long history with anti-Arab sentiment and Islamophobia” and “complicity in the racist policing of Black communities.”

The ADL claimed the phrase “from the river to the sea” is an anti-Semitic dog-whistle used by Hamas and Islamic terror groups to call for an end to the Jewish state and demanded Hill’s termination. CNN complied almost immediately, announcing last Thursday that the professor was “no longer under contract” with the station, but Temple was unable to follow suit – Hill has tenure.

While the university released an official statement declaring that “Professor Hill’s right to express his opinion is protected by the Constitution to the same extent as any other private citizen” and confirmed he was still employed, Temple board chairman Patrick O’Connor told Campus Reform he was looking into “available options” to get rid of him with the school’s legal staff, telling the outlet “People wanted to fire him right away.”

The letter-writers denounced Temple administrators as bigots and implored them not to make the same mistake as CNN. “We cannot pretend that painting Hill as a threat that Temple University must remove is fueled by anything other than racism,” they wrote, calling the university’s failure to stand up for Hill “part of a much larger history of anti-Blackness.“

A petition calling on CNN to rehire Hill launched by the Intercept’s Ryan Grim has gathered over 13,000 signatures. The Temple University chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine held a rally in support of Hill on Thursday.

The Russian military has tested a short-range missile meant to defend Moscow from nuclear Armageddon. Video of the test launch conducted in Kazakhstan was published by the Defense Ministry.

The interceptor tested at the Sary-Shagan test range is apparently the replacement of the 53T6 anti-ballistic missiles, which serve as part of an ABM shield protecting the Russian capital. The video released by the ministry on Saturday shows a characteristic transport-launch container of the projectile being loaded from a transport vehicle to a launcher and placed inside a silo before launch.

The Moscow anti-missile shield includes several long-range interceptors and dozens of short-range interceptors, which are meant to stop incoming ICBM warheads with aerial nuclear explosions.

The 53T6s, however, are approaching expiry date and need replacing. The Russian military decided that the necessary restocking of the silos is a good opportunity to place a more capable rocket into service.

Peter Chiarelli either made a brilliant move in bringing in Sherwood Park's own Ken Hitchcock as Edmonton Oilers head coach to save their season or a futile one that will cost the general manager his job in the spring.

The Oilers won their first game under Hitchcock, a 4-3 decision in overtime against the hometown San Jose Sharks on Tuesday night, just hours after Chiarelli fired bench boss Todd McLellan. The victory has Edmonton sitting one point back of the winless-in-six Vancouver Canucks for the final playoff spot in the Pacific Division with two games in hand.

If you think Chiarelli pushed the panic button in making his move, you're right. After all, haven't the Oilers changed the coaching position enough with this being their eight such moves in 11 seasons?

Watch the Oilers upend the Sharks:

Edmonton edges San Jose 4-3 in overtime, Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl 3 points each. 2:09
With U.S. Thanksgiving fast approaching, which coincides with the first-quarter mark of the season, difficult decisions for NHL teams are contemplated and made at this time of the year.

The Oilers, who had dropped six of their previous seven games before Tuesday, were the fourth team this fall to fire their coach, following St. Louis (Mike Yeo), Chicago (Joel Quenneville) and Los Angeles (John Stevens). But coaching changes this early in the season shouldn't be a surprise.

More startling is the fact no team made an in-season head-coaching change last season.

However, the Calgary Flames, Carolina Hurricanes, Dallas Stars, New York Islanders, New York Rangers and Washington Capitals made moves behind the bench in the off-season.

Time for a turnaround

Not all coaching changes are effective. If a GM or ownership group wants to make a coaching change, often the opening 20 games can work with ample time for a turnaround.

Take last year — without any coaching changes. Of the 16 teams in playoff position at U.S. Thanksgiving, 11 kept their spot to advance to the Stanley Cup tournament in April.

In the East, the Boston Bruins and Philadelphia Flyers were one and four points, respectively, out of the playoffs at this time last year. But, in the end, they were able to rally and displace the Detroit Red Wings and Islanders.

In the West, the Colorado Avalanche, Minnesota Wild and Anaheim Ducks were in a logjam, tied for the final playoff position, but didn't have the tiebreaker. They made the playoffs, however, beating out the teams they were tied with at U.S. Thanksgiving in the Calgary, St. Louis and Vancouver.

Change of address

Here are four other interesting first-quarter developments:

It was a given the off-season additions of Erik Karlsson and John Tavares would improve the San Jose Sharks and Toronto Maple Leafs, respectively. While Karlsson has yet to find his form, Tavares has produced and found a prolific early season partnership with Mitch Marner.

But not to be overlooked has been the play of newcomers Jeff Skinner with the Buffalo Sabres, Mike Hoffman of the Florida Panthers, Max Domi with the Montreal Canadiens and Ryan O'Reilly in St. Louis.

The 27-year-old O’Reilly never has scored more than 28 goals in his first nine seasons, but he’s on pace for 40-plus this year.

O'Reilly's absence in Buffalo allowed the Sabres to land Jeff Skinner. His 14 goals in 21 games have him among the league leaders and on his way to surpassing the career-high 37 goals he scored in Carolina two years ago. His offence has helped the Sabres win six games in a row.

Domi has a 10-game points streak (five goals, 14 points) going and already has scored 10 times this fall, one better than his goal totals in each of the previous two seasons.

Hoffman is riding a franchise-record 16-game points streak (nine goals, 19 points) and scored a goal in his return to his old team, the Ottawa Senators, on Monday.

Change of address II

As mentioned, six teams made head coaching changes in the off-season: Calgary (Bill Peters), Carolina (Rod Brind'Amour), Dallas (Jim Montgomery), Islanders (Barry Trotz), Rangers (David Quinn) and Washington (Todd Reirden). Each club has benefited from its change behind the bench.

The Flames and Stars are in playoff position in the West as are the Rangers and Capitals in the East. Trotz has the Islanders only a point out of the playoff spot in the Metropolitan Division and the Hurricanes are a point behind the Islanders.

Cross-Canada checkup

The Jets and Maple Leafs, the only two Canadian-based NHL teams to make the 2017-18 playoffs, were expected to perform as well as they have so far this season. But the Flames, Canadiens, Canucks and Senators have exceeded expectations in the first quarter. The Oilers are about right where I thought they would be.

The Flames have benefited from the arrival of new coach Peters, and three players who joined him from the Hurricanes, Elias Lindholm, Noah Hanifin and Derek Ryan.

The Habs currently are in a playoff position. They have done it with a relentless forecheck and speed, and without a return to form from goalie Carey Price. He ranks 44th in save percentage at .900. If Price gets going and his teammates keep up their diligent play, maybe they sneak into the playoffs.

The Canucks and Senators unlikely will be in the post-season. Most felt they would be battling it out for the basement. Who thought they would be challenging for a playoff spot?

Both teams have struggled lately. The Canucks have lost five in a row. But they’re still fun to watch with super rookie Elias Pettersson and his 12 goals in 17 games. Ditto for the Senators, who have lost eight of their last 12, but have exciting young defenceman Thomas Chabot. The 21-year-old from Saint-Marie, Que. has five goals and 24 points, double the production of Karlsson’s goal and 12 points in San Jose.

Stanley Cup final preview?

The first-quarter has allowed several Stanley Cup contenders to skate into the forefront, like the Maple Leafs, Jets, Sharks, Columbus Blue Jackets, Tampa Bay Lightning and Nashville Predators. But, if you had to choose, which two teams that have stood out and look to be Stanley Cup-Final bound?

How about the Predators and Lightning? The two teams just happened to clash in Music City on Monday with the home team defeating the Andrei Vasilevskiy-less Lightning 3-2. Tampa Bay's prized goalie is out with a broken foot.

The Predators and Lightning are playoff-hardened teams. The Predators went to the final in 2017. The Lightning was there in 2015 as well as two trips to the East final in 2016 and again last spring. If these two clubs stay healthy, I like a Nashville-Tampa Bay final in June, judging from what both teams have exhibited in the first quarter.

Lynsey Plasco-Flaxman, a mother of two, expressed dismay when finding out that the new child care provider, Giselle Maurice, was black upon arriving for her first day of work in 2016.

“NOOOOOOOOOOO ANOTHER BLACK PERSON,” wrote Mrs Plasco-Flaxman to her husband in a text. However, instead of sending it to her husband, she sent it to Ms. Maurice, twice.

After realizing her gaffe, an “uncomfortable” Plasco-Flaxman fired Ms. Maurice, stating that their outgoing nanny, who was African-American, had done a bad job and that she was instead expecting a Filipino, according to the New York Post.

Ms. Maurice was paid for her one day of work and then sent home for an Uber.

Now, Maurice is suing the couple for compensation over the firing, and is seeking compensation to the tune of $ 350 a day for the six-month, live-in gig she had initially been hired to do, albeit without a contract.

“[I want] to show them, look, you don’t do stuff like that,” she told the Post on Friday, adding “I know it’s discrimination.”

The couple have hit back at the claims that they are racist, saying that terminating Maurice’s employment was the reasonable thing to do, fearing they could not trust her after offending her.

“[My wife] had sent her something that she didn’t mean to say. She’s not a racist. We’re not racist people,” husband Joel Plasco told the Post.

“But would you put your children in the hands of someone you’ve been rude to, even if it was by mistake? Your newborn baby? Come on.”

Likening the suit to “extortion,” Plasco said his wife was just two months off having a baby and was in a “very difficult situation.”

“You’re going to go after someone like that? That’s not a very nice thing to do,” the investment banker added.

While the legal case is still ongoing, the court of public opinion has been quick to denounce the couple on social media, slamming them for their behavior and logic.

US President Donald Trump’s suggestion that Americans should thank him for firing former FBI director James Comey backfired somewhat, setting off another Twitter storm.

Trump tweeted on Thursday afternoon, wondering why Americans had not yet started to thank him for Comey’s firing and suggesting that they should start expressing their gratitude soon.

The tweet comes ahead of a Department of Justice report, which is expected to accuse the former FBI director of defying presidential authority on a number of occasions.

Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report is also expected to be critical of how Comey handled the FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was secretary of state.

Trump’s tweet set off a firestorm of both criticism and support. The president’s supporters tweeted in agreement, arguing that Comey’s insubordination justified his firing.

Trump’s critics, on the other hand, accused the president of attention-seeking behavior and opted to thank Comey for his service instead.

On Tuesday, Trump revealed his impatience for the DOJ report, bemoaning delays and saying he hoped that the report was not being tweaked to be less critical of either Comey or Clinton.

“What is taking so long with the Inspector General’s Report on Crooked Hillary and Slippery James Comey,” he wrote. “Numerous delays. Hope Report is not being changed and made weaker! There are so many horrible things to tell, the public has the right to know. Transparency!”
