Reporter Shauna Hunt is sick of having her interviews interrupted, so she finally did something about it
Not our proudest moment.

Thanks for posting this.
Idiots doing something like this should be made 2 sit down with female members of their own family 2 explain and then have their Moms, sisters, aunts, grandmothers, wives, & daughters tell them how this makes them feel.
This is not funny.
This is not cool.
This is not macho.
This shames TFC.
This shames every woman these guys know.
If you did this, take off the shirt and don't come back.
You crossed the line.
Get the fuck out of my stadium.
BAN EM.
It's not your stadium. but come on. I was expecting something more to this. FHRITP is a common news troll that has been trending for what 2 years now? I think news reporters should get over themselves. It's a joke.Originally Posted by OgtheDim

It shames him. I doesn't shame us. I have nothing to do with any drunk idiot who says anything under the name of the team or city I support.
I don't disagree that it's dumb, but his face is out there and he'll pay professional price for it. TFC shouldn't touch it.
Maybe he and Liz May can commiserate tonight.
Sigh...
Toronto FC baby...best team everrrrrrrrrr -Jozy
Its sexist harassment shit. Its not a joke.
Again, people should ask female family members what they would think of them saying that on camera.
It crosses the line and must be stopped. As others have said, this happens all over the place. It has to stop.
You cant expect everyone to conform to one sense of humor. It's not sexist nor is it harassment. It is a joke.
It definitely has a harassment element to it. Would you find it funny if some random drunken stranger interrupted you while at work with something like this? Right in the middle of a presentation or something? It's immature and a dick move, regardless of whether you consider it sexist or not.
Toronto FC baby...best team everrrrrrrrrr -Jozy
It's not funny. But it gets attention, which is what these douches love.
Toronto FC baby...best team everrrrrrrrrr -Jozy
it's so boring and aggressively not funny. I don't understand the point of it.
The guys a dick either way.
This may be funny to a 13 year old boy or the frat boy crowd but it's pathetic from old man-children. Grow up.
Wow, just wow.
This what happens when you got too much beer.
Beer has nothing to do with it.
Actually, as a bar manager, beer may have more to do with it thenYou think. Alcohol will not make you do something that you don't want to do, but it may make you do something that seems like a good idea...liquid courage... How many people believe that they need some sort of shot in order to walk across the bar and hit on the good looking ladies??
Again, please don't get me wrong, I don't agree with the actions of these guys.... But... Outside the stadium, freedom of speech and employers stepping in on personal times?? It was said earlier on... Slippery slope
Hah, I sat 2 rows up from that guy at the game (red & blue checkered shirt). First thing my buddy said when he saw him was "Wow, that guy looks like a douche!"
I emailed my SSH rep calling for their ban; I encourage everyone else to do the same
section/row
You wanna be the language police? Especially based on what is said in the supporter's section let alone what is said walking out of the stadium. That's a slippery slope no matter how dumb/disrespectful/shameful that guy is.
I agree, this is definitely a slippery slope here, there are some nasty things said in the stands. Where do we draw the line? I have to say though what was said was totally stupid
A joke to those who like their humour a little rape-y and basic.
I really don't get the witch hunt. Some posts in this thread of banning, charges ect sound like an Orwellian feminist wet dream. It's absurd.
Nothing like feminist creep in society to marginalize rape to the point where everything is now rape and can be conflated with raping. LOL

Shauna hunt says it hurts her and is insulting. I can see somone immature yeling it out thinking its funny, but when yuo get called on it be a Man and apologize.
The camera/medium isnt his. Its not his right to yell into it.
If he had his own you tube channel and did this, then he can go ahead and do it all day long. Its not my cup of tea, but that would be his right.
To me it was the followup comment by one of this pricks is what completely put it over the top after she called them out.
Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!
yah its the follow up that made him and his arsenal friend (did I miss arsenal playing?) seem like an idiot. the old "but everybody does it" line doesnt cut it.
The thing about Elizabeth May is that she spoke the truth.
Again, I would strongly suggest anybody who thinks its a joke should show the video to female family members and then ask them what they think...and then shut up and listen. Nor is this about feminism or political correctness.
As for harassment, it meets every protocol I've ever seen within HR practices that can be used for terminating somebody under that purpose. I would not hesitate to do so if an employee of mine did this and that report was aired on TV.
This arguement is going to get ugly soon.
Glad it was shown.
I'd close the thread quick mods.
So you've both made your point and thusfar done so respectfully.
I don't see a need to close the thread while discussion is civil.
Can we all agree that this prank is stupid? I don't think banning these guys is going to stop people doing this prank. If anything, CityNews just made themselves as target to get more guys to do this prank on them especially when Shauna Hunt is interviewing someone.

I get that FHRITP has been used against male and female reporters (though lets get real here - it's used far more often against female field reporters), and is (ideally supposed to be) more about fucking with live news pieces, but it's time for this meme to die already.
It makes all TFC fans look like puerile creeps, and it makes female reporters uncomfortable, even when they understand "the joke". That is 100% unacceptable.
If you see people behaving like this, maybe politely tell them to grow the fuck up.

effing jerks.. I posted this elsewhere before I noticed this thread. This really pissed me off.
Acting like this with a smug look on their faces while wearing our kit.
Man, low class idiots.
I'd love to see them get their seats revoked. Disgraceful.

From the Canadian Human Rights Commission......
Harassment is a form of discrimination. It involves any unwanted physical or verbal behaviour that offends or humiliates you. Generally, harassment is a behaviour that persists over time. Serious one-time incidents can also sometimes be considered harassment.
When I see these guys speak to their GFs, sister, mothers and grandmothers like that, out in public, then I will consider them to have an intellectual, behavioural or other mental health issues that interfere with their good judgement. IMO - only then might we consider giving them a "pass" and differ the problem to the mental health community. Until then, they are engaging in sexually harassment.
*stepping off my soapbox now*
I'm very pleased that this is being openly discussed in this thread. It's important to get his out in the open.
