Auston Matthews Calls Out Reporter For Announcing His Positive Covid-19 Test


The Toronto Maple Leafs had a tough night, but the biggest highlight came during the post-game interview. Toronto Sun reporter Steve Simmons announced that Matthews had tested positive for Covid-19 a few months back. Matthews had the opportunity to call him out and he did not miss the mark!
Despite reports of positive tests on more than half-dozen other teams, only one player was publicly identified. Here is what Matthews had to say to Steve Simmons.
"First of all, it is unfortunate that I am getting a question from you at this point, Steve. I just wanted to say I didn't appreciate the article you wrote about me a couple of months ago. I thought it was a bit unethical, to be honest.
