PK Subban Under Fire For 'Shaming' Celebrity on LIVE Broadcast
While P.K. Subban may be new to the television world, it appears that he still has some lessons to learn about what is and isn't acceptable to say in public. Despite his experience as a seasoned athlete, his recent comments about singer Lizzo have created a stir, generating significant backlash and criticism.
For those unfamiliar with Lizzo, she is a globally renowned musician and one of the biggest names in the industry right now. In a recent interview, Subban made a joke at her expense, suggesting that the Toronto Maple Leafs should have packed a "Lizzo-sized lunch" following their game.
"Listen, maybe they need to pack a Lizzo-sized lunch. They weren't prepared, in my opinion."
While Subban was commenting on the Leafs' performance, his choice of words has landed him in hot water, as many fans have taken offense to the insensitive and weight-based joke. As a public figure, Subban should be mindful of the impact his words can have, especially when directed towards individuals who are already marginalized and subject to discrimination.
