TORONTO (AP) - A Toronto broadcaster has been fired after he posted on Twitter about the debate surrounding New York Rangers forward Sean Avery's support of same-sex marriage.
Damian Goddard was a host on Rogers Sportsnet. On Tuesday, he tweeted his support for hockey agent Todd Reynolds, who used Twitter to voice his opposition to Avery's position.
Goddard wrote: "I completely and whole-heartedly support Todd Reynolds and his support for the traditional and TRUE meaning of marriage."
In a statement, Sportsnet spokesman Dave Rashford says: "Mr. Goddard was a freelance contractor and in recent weeks it had become clear that he is not the right fit for our organization."
