from the CP at the Globe and Mail,
An Ontario Hockey League referee’s controversial Twitter post has cost him a lot more than the hostility of some hockey fans.
The OHL announced Wednesday that Joe Monette has been suspended for the balance of the 2012-13 season as well as the playoffs for his disparaging tweet about the city of Sault Ste Marie.
Monette was in Sault Ste. Marie on Friday to officiate a game between the Greyhounds and Windsor when he posted “Soo Saint Marie, two words, Slim Pickens #noteeth #hicktown #allfaties.”

So, he was just razzing a friend he has in the Soo by disparaging the city, so he decided the best place to do that was Twitter.
Makes sense.

Since when is “Slim Pickens” an insult? The man was AWESOME.

Damn, how many of us here are from the Soo? Depending on where they were having their after game refreshments he may well have had a point but a guy who’s supposed to be impartial should be smart enough not to diss any towns he works in. Don’t drink and tweet kids.
