Oilers reporter causes outrage with questionable comment

Mark Spector of Sportsnet has been around a long time. He's been covering sports, mainly hockey, for the last 30 years. He's also well-known for his spicy takes on certain teams, players, and subjects. Spector's latest comments are garnering him some backlash in the online world.

Spector decided to take questions on a flight to Dallas where he's headed to cover the Stars against the Edmonton Oilers in the Western Conference final. One of the first ones was about the makeup of the Vancouver Canucks and whether the team can win with the players they have. Spector said he believes the Canucks have too many European players.

That comment didn't sit too well with many, as it is considered an outdated and discriminatory line of thinking. It wasn't long before Spector was getting roasted for his take.

For his part, Spector wasn't about to back down, saying he was just telling it like it is.
