Former NHLer turned ESPN analyst PK Subban is facing some backlash after he made a joke at Lizzo’s expense.
While talking about the Toronto Maple Leafs’ lack of effort against the Florida Panthers, Subban said that the Leafs better pack a “Lizzo-sized lunch” if they want to win the series.

Considering Lizzo has spoken out about fat shaming in the past, fans immediately went after Subban over his comments.
20 years ago we'd probably just laugh it off and move on

P.K. Subban went on tv on ESPN and said this regarding a Black woman. There's something to be said about how comfortable these Black men feel using their platforms in this way to harass Lizzo and Black women in general. We gonna mainstream this convo. Enough is enough. @PKSubban1 https://t.co/6aItT4YJMA

This is disgusting behavior. As a Lizzo fan I am demanding an apology immediately @PKSubban1 https://t.co/y3oxo1XBJL
