Former Sharks forward Jeremy Roenick is alleging his dismissal from NBC Sports earlier this year was “anti-straight discrimination” in a lawsuit filed on Friday. Roenick was suspended and eventually fired by NBC after appearing on the Barstool podcast, where he couldn’t stop talking about how much he wanted to have sex with his co-workers — in particular his then co-host Kathryn Tappen.
“I’m swimming with my wife and Kathryn, and they’ve got their bikinis on, and they look f**kin’ smokin’. Ass and boobs everywhere. It’s great,” he said on Spittin’ Chiclets, the brand’s hockey podcast, back in December 2019.
