Former Toronto Maple Leafs forward Mitch Marner is currently catching some heat online from fans, and now, his security guard is trying to be the hero.
Mitch Marner has been causing quite a stir as of late due to his comments about Toronto Maple Leafs fans.
This subsequently led to Marner hiring security for two weeks. During this time, the forward was too scared to leave his home.
Needless to say, it's understandable why Marner felt like he needed to get out of Toronto. After all, he was protecting his family.

Charity events. You wanna talk about charity events? Let me tell you lady, I got stage 5 kidney disease and he's known about it since day one. I need a transplant and he would give me his if I asked for it but he won't because he has a family now.
His wife, his family, and all his friends are constantly checking in to make sure I'm ok. That's the type of person he is. Not some so called villain that one day didn't sign a f----ing autograph for you so you make him out to be a piece of s---.
I know what type of heart this kid has so don't come on here a ting [sic] like some f-----in know it all about Mitch Marner or his family.
Tired of ppl always putting this kid down. He's always been there for me and he will continue to be my friend till the day I die. So shove your little I don't like him up your ass.
To be honest, this is not a good look for the security guard, or Marner for that matter.
From a public relations standpoint, this last week has been a complete disaster for the former Toronto Maple Leafs superstar.
When January 23rd rolls around, it seems obvious that the forward is going to be heavily booed.
