Nelson Mandela is Jonathan Bernier's favourite athlete!

Jonathan Bernier should have spent less time between the pipes and more time hitting the books. Bernier clearly has no idea who Nelson Mandela is as he says he was one of his favourite athletes growing up. In an unbelievable display of ignorance Bernier attempts to give the best response to a question regarding South African anti-apartheid revolutionary and former President. Let's just say he does not have all the facts, as his response will undoubtedly leave you with your face planted firmly in your palm. Bernier said: " Well obviously he's been a tremendous athlete, you know obviously what he means to all the sports, you know the world can be changed by the sports is pretty amazing and I think he's definitely got a lot of respect in every sport and he was definitely one of the athletes I watched growing up as well." This may be the most bone-headed interview of the year!
