Former Rogers Sportsnet anchor Damian Goddard

by Thaddeus Baklinski

TORONTO, May 4, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The mediation hearing of former TV sports anchor Damian Goddard, who was fired by Rogers Sportsnet last May after tweeting his support for true marriage, and who subsequently launched a human rights complaint to the Canadian Human Rights Commission, is taking place today at the CHRC office in Toronto.

“I just got off the phone with my lawyer. We’ll meet at his offices in downtown Toronto, and then make our way down the road to sit at a table across from the very people who fired me almost a year ago. I feel good. I feel very good,” Mr. Goddard posted on Facebook in anticipation of the meeting.

“Almost a year has passed since I was terminated after tweeting in defence of traditional and TRUE marriage,” Goddard remarked. “The Canadian Human Rights Commission will attempt to mediate a settlement between myself and Rogers Communications Inc. It looks and feels every bit like a David vs. Goliath scenario. If mediation isn’t achieved, then my case will go to a Canadian Human Rights Tribunal. If that fails, it will go to a Public Hearing.”

The former host of Connected had tweeted his support of Burlington hockey agent Todd Reynolds, who created a stir when he criticized New York Rangers hockey star Sean Avery for shooting a TV ad backing gay “marriage.”

“I completely and wholeheartedly support Todd Reynolds and his support for the traditional and TRUE meaning of marriage,” Goddard tweeted on May 10, 2011. He also voiced support for U.S. Olympic gold medalist Peter Vidmar, who resigned as chef de mission for the 2012 U.S. Olympic team after homosexual activists created a controversy over his support for true marriage.

Sportsnet immediately distanced themselves from Goddard’s comments on their own Twitter account, and then announced that Goddard had been fired without specifying the reasons.

“Mr. Goddard was a freelance contractor and in recent weeks it had become clear that he is not the right fit for our organization,” said Sportsnet spokesman Dave Rashford in a statement issued right after Goddard was sacked.

“While Rogers has argued that I was not the right fit for the organization, the truth of the matter is that just a week before my dismissal I was given a ringing endorsement for the job I had done up to that point,” Goddard told LifeSiteNews last June.

“My message to the millions of Canadians participating in social media is that ‘this can happen to you’,” Goddard said in an official statement following his dismissal. “I was terminated 24 hours after expressing a widely-held opinion from my personal Twitter account - an opinion consistent with the teachings of the Catholic Church. And an opinion that is supposed to be protected by Canada’s constitution.”

Goddard launched the human rights complaint against Rogers in June 2011, contending that the case affects all Canadians with deeply-held religious views.

“We are in very curious times, friends,” Mr. Goddard observed to his supporters on Facebook. “Strange days, indeed.”

“In the US, the HHS mandate is a hot-button topic. In Ontario, Bill 13 detractors continue to make their voice heard. I have my own little battle. Mere optics on these issues dictate that the Catholic Church is in the cross-hairs. Lord, give me strength… give us all strength in our continuing battle for Truth,” Mr. Goddard concluded.

It's not news that our rights,the truth,and the fundamental health and welfare of our society are under attack by these hot air merchants that presently govern us.Here is a description of what we are up against as these commissions are paid to enforce the "Gaytapo" fraud.

(Adapted from the words of an old school preacher)
Their lies are so harmful yet they are our governors, lawmakers and judges. And, it was on their watch that sodomy
was made respectable and that the word of God was made hateful, and that the courts of this world were shut tight to the poor. These effeminate moral dwarfs were elected, appointed and otherwise allowed to run governments; including the courts, the press and the churches; it was on their watch that the gays came out of the closet, that the courts were closed to the poor, that the word of God was trashed.

While they were busy writing their silly, perverted laws, and unrighteous judicial opinions, and obscene news stories and editorials; filling the very air we breathe with billions of lying words; the Almighty God was writing "Ichabod" over their house.
This people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart;" and among them are wicked men whom they have made leaders and judges; "they are waxen fat, they shine" with pride and arrogance "yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: and judge not the cause" of the poor, "and the right of the needy do they not judge. Thou shalt not wrest
judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.all human judges and government officials must be selected on the bases of their moral strength and righteous nature.
This godforsaken world managed to fill virtually all judicial and official positions with amoral practitioners of sodomy, adulterers and fornicators; who are famous for attributes of ignorance, moral weakness, effeminacy, and sexual perversion. We have been taught that that all human courts and governmental positions are exclusively and peculiarly the province and prerogative of God Almighty himself.

"Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people." (Prov. 14:34)

This passage powerfully teaches that the foremost and primary obligation of any human government, acting by and through its courts and other officials, is to do justice to the poor and the needy, and to vindicate the divinely imposed rights of the poor and the needy; scrupulously avoiding the gifts of the rich and the strong and scrupulously avoiding the respect of persons in the decision-making process. Listen: "Thou shalt not wrest judgment." That is, twist it from the hands of the poor and the needy. "Thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift." Which only the
rich and powerful are able to bestow. For a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous. That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live." (Deut. 16:19-20)

You should study the Bible etymology of that word, "Ichabod." If you have any fear of God, if you have any regard for the scriptures whatsoever; you will be compelled to the view that any group of people that would willingly and deliberately call themselves, "Ichabod;" and that would willingly and deliberately allow themselves to be stamped and branded billions of times with the mark of the beast—666—is a reprobate people, a doomed people, a damned people.

I pray for this man but like us all face what is summarized above
