Jeremy Roenick, the former NHL player and hockey analyst, has filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against NBC Sports, which fired him after he made a “threesome” comment about a co-worker during a Barstool Sports podcast. In the lawsuit, Roenick alleges that he was held to a different standard than other commentators.

According to The Wrap, Roenick claims that he told an NBC Sports executive about commentary that Johnny Weir, an analyst and former Olympic figure skater, made at the time of the 2018 Winter Olympics “regarding the body parts of ice skaters.”
