Looks like Tanner has justifiably been fired. He posted a politically charged rant calling all people to the right of midline racists and dirtbag chumps, flipped half the US and majority of the people giving him clicks the bird and stated he broke the blogger rules and code of conduct to make his little speech.
It's not that so many people can't stomach a alternative point of view; it's how polarizing and demeaning he was and just like his hockey thoughts, he didn't say what he truly thought, but made up biased garbage to get clicks.
On behalf of the site users, we thank him for the mental breakdown.

Tanner deserved to be axed. Eklund enabled him for far too long and letting him get away with far too much. Just to get clicks and page views. Jimmy called anyone who didn't agree with him a racist or white supremacist. In the end he exposed himself to be the biggest racist of all by what he said in his last blog. Which some of us suspected to be the case all along.
It always amazed me how a guy living in Canada thought he could stand on his soap box telling Americans (and Canadians) what to think. All the while claiming to be original and different as he ripped off word for word what he saw and heard on CNN. On a HOCKEY blog no less. Sitting in his little safe space with no fear of consequences or accountability while posters who challenged him were banned repeatedly. Nice double standard.
Tanner is toxic and should never have been allowed to have a platform where he could shove his poisonous (ripped off) opinions down everyone's throats. Too many people have become tired of his narcissistic attitude which stems from insecurity and mental illness. Good riddance, Jimmy. It took much longer than it should've. But in the end, Ek FINALLY made the right call. |

I thought he was just venting his rage that his wonder boy stats guy Chyka decided he had enough and his methods were not working |

You can still catch Jimmy on FanSided. Even the Leafs fans on there can't stand him. |

Tanner is the laziest writer I've seen on here. Guy fancies himself a journalist but won't watch the games or do the work, and to mask his obvious lack of knowledge he throws out stupid exaggerated statements and then blasts anyone for saying otherwise. Garbage writer and a slacker, good riddance Jimmy |

I literally laughed out loud when i read this. Who writes something, and then says there's a 25% of it happening? Lol
I haven't been on this site in years. I see nothing has changed. |

Honest question: what rumours have come to fruition in the past from this “trusted” Toronto source? Honestly, Ek, you’re batting .000 here.... - iknowbest
Then he’s perfect, batting 1.000 on rotten fruition.
