Paul Bissonnette Blasted Over His Latest Comments on Live TV

During last night's broadcast of the Rangers-Bruins' preseason game, Paul Bissonnette made a joke about Tyler Seguin's looks, joking that the Stars' forward is responsible for the NHL's increased viewership; particularly among the female audience.

In short, he joked that women watch hockey because of how attractive some of the players are.

Naturally, the internet quickly jumped to judgment, suggesting that his behavior is indicative of a greater culture which undermines women and their rights.

Bissonnette has not commented on his latest criticisms, but his history suggests he does not find much merit in them.

The ongoing Hockey Canada scandal and the bevy of other societal issues seem to exacerbate any and every indiscretion. Also, the fact that Bissonnette's remarks came on a nationally syndicated program do not help the situation.
