Heroes and Villains 2011:
Villains—The Conversation-Stoppers

Torontoist is ending the year by naming our Heroes and Villains—the very best and very worst people, places, things, and ideas that have had an influence on the city over the past twelve months.

Today, in villains: lowering the tenor of our public conversation.


    Sun Media, for appealing to the worst in human nature.  

    Homophobia in Hockey, for poisoning one of our favourite pastimes.  

    Mitch Mortaza, for treating players in the Lingerie Football League like sex objects, not athletes.  

From December 12–23, the candidates for Mightiest and Meanest—and new this year, a reader’s write-in option! From December 26–29 you’ll be able to vote for Toronto’s Superhero and Supervillain of the year, and we’ll reveal the results December 30.

    And what other expectation would one have for something called “The Lingerie Football League”? Perhaps it would be better it say, “Mitch Mortaza, for creating something called the Lingerie Football League.”
