Patrick Laine Reacts To Tasteless And Disgusting Comments On Him By Podcast Host
Columbus Blue Jackets star Patrick Laine has been through a lot lately with injuries and the loss of his father. Recently, he took a break from his team to focus on his mental health entering the NHL Players Assistance Program.
A few weeks later, a tasteless comment from a podcast has caught the attention of social media and Patrick Laine specifically.
Patrick Laine Reacts To Tasteless Comments Towards Him By Podcast Host
During a podcast discussing the team's challenges, one host made a hurtful comment about Laine's absence, suggesting he was considering retirement due to something called a "Remington retirement."
This comment was insensitive, especially given Laine's situation. Laine himself responded on social media, expressing his disapproval.
The host who made the comment later announced she was leaving the show because she didn't realize the meaning of the term and found out it was a joke about suicide.

This incident highlights the importance of treating athletes as human beings who face real struggles. Regardless of opinions on Laine as a player, he deserves respect. The comment was inappropriate, and an apology should be made.
There's no news yet on whether the person who made the comment will face consequences.
