She is terrible and if this gets her out of the Calgary job then great but I don't see how it really matters that much. She is way less of a homer than Kevin Quinn or Drew Remenda or Gene Principe and they seemingly have zero fan connections to the Oilers to make them the embarrassments they are.
That said i am not really sure why Ken Campbell is getting blow back for pointing it out either. Now I am fine with it because like Cassie, Ken is terrible as well but I don't think there was really anything wrong with him bringing it up.
He's probably getting blowback because this isn't a new phenomenon, its incredibly common in sports and media.
Darren Dreger covered his cousin the ex-GM of the Leafs. Colin Campbell was in charge of discipline when his son was playing. Ferraro calls games his son plays in. The list goes on and on.
This doesn't even get into people that cover the sport nationally with bad and noticeable biases against teams or people who run them.
So its not like this is a new phenomenon. And Cassie Campbell isn't even more egregiously biased than a lot of other people that get to cover games. There are a ton of homers that cover the game nationally.
So yes, there's definitely going to be blowback. And that's without getting into the lazy nature of how Ken Campbell expressed himself being misconstrued as attacking one of the few female media members covering the game as being where she is because of who she's sleeping with.
I don't like Cassie Campbell's hockey coverage either, but the blowback is incredibly predictable. Especially since Ken Campbell probably isn't still employed if he didn't have connections too. He ain't that good a writer or a thinker.
