How did "dancing bear" John Scott end up an All-Star?
John Scott has only scored five NHL goals in an 8 year NHL career. So how did he end up as captain of an NHL All-Star team?
In this week's edition of the q sports panel, Shad checks in with Toronto Star's Bruce Arthur, CBC's Sonali Karnick and Dave Zirin of The Nation, and Edge of Sports. At issue today:
- Were hockey fans cruel to vote John Scott — a "dancing bear" of the NHL — into a high-pressure all-star position? And shouldn't the league have seen it coming?
- Also: the NFL's Cam Newton is taking heat for the colourful way he behaves on field, but does the backlash against him have racist undertones?
