Their obviously something wrong with him mentally. You would have thought he was a high school student with some of the stuff he's tweeted out. And to think someone of his age would be trolling is also laughable. He's old enough to be a grandfather.

I'm 100% sure he's a nutcase. The lack of maturity for someone that old speaks volumes. Forget the whole Canadian thing for a second. Tweeting out "Squad" and posting pictures of pizza with a stack of money on it is something a little kid would do. He's crazy.

The US is more affordable. Everything is cheaper and I can have a much higher earning potential as a business owner. For anybody that is motivated, you can live a MUCH better lifestyle than in Canada. By better I mean having more money available to you for consumption and having your dollar go further on nearly everything (food, booze, home, entertainment, cars, etc.). Any yes, money is a measure of your success in life.

The US has better climate/weather. In Canada I am stuck inside for half of the year. If I want to experience winter I can spend money on a flight and visit the cold/snow for a few days with the extra money I would have as an american.

I realize that many people are happy living 'average' lives. But for those who want to experience financial success, the US will provide a much better opportunity for that. Flame away.


Why are you still here then?

He's an idiot. Like it or not, he is a Dual Citizen, as Ted Cruz discovered. Throwing away your Canadian passport doesn't make your citizenship go away.

Only way to get rid of it is to go through the process of formally renouncing your Canadian citizenship, which he likely never did. Renouncing his citizenship would be stupid because it would mean that he'd have to get a work visa to come up to Toronto to call ESPN games.

Basically, Mark Jones is full of **** again.

Given that someone found out it wasn't even his picture of the pizza with the money on it -- I'm a little confused as to why he posted it. Was he just trying to pretend he was living the life on South Beach, while really being somewhere else?

Definately. And if he was white and it had been a jab at a minority, he would be unemployed right now. Funny how it doesn't work both ways. Maybe a few emails to ESPN can stir the pot. I would love to see him unemployed or at very least a humble apology so he stops talking like a 12 year old who's been dropped on his head too often as a baby.

I think you can report people on twitter. The funny thing would be a bunch of people reporting him on twitter and even
if they didn't do anything threatening to report him might make him sweat a little about if ESPN found out about this.

ESPN is just looking for excuses to can people because of budget cutbacks. I would think they would be regularly monitoring thier EE's twitter accounts just in case stuff like this pops up. If Jones has a half a brain, he will delete that tweet pretty damn quick which means of course it will be on there all day. It would be the funniest thing if his big American (not dual) mouth gets him fired and he has to come back to Canada to work as a street salter.

I just find it ironic that a Black Canadian desperately wants to be an American a country that endorsed slavery
against his people especially in the South where he lives now and hates Canada a country that had the underground
rail road for slaves to get freedom.

It's true, you don't really hear about vengeful Canadian ex-pats... in fact, he's the only ex-pat I can think of that goes out of his way to dump on his native land. The racial tones of it is pretty weird too but hey, troll's gonna troll.
Pascal to the future.

The guy is just weird. Not in a funny weird way, just a weird weird way.

The type of guy who, when he dies, you find bodies buried under his house type of guy.

Agreed, this BS stops the second someone gets out of school and/or gets a work visa to the States, know plenty of colleagues who took opportunities there only to come back because the entire experience was exhausting and simply not worth it.

Yup. He posted his approval for adding Harriet Tubbman to America's currency - which is fine. But why not post something like, "I'm proud to have been born in a country which rejected slavery and helped black people live in freedom", instead of bitching about our radio stations, tv and airport?

Also, as posted by others, change "angry pasty agent" to "angry darky agent" and see what happens.

Merica can keep him.

I'm guessing people tweet Paul Jones or ask him all the time about his brothers behaviour but he doesn't say a thing right?
