Wait, this could be like Trump being racist... oh boy, never mind, that goes into 4K pages of yuk Same as above. The best way to understand racism is to do some research into what it is and why so many people (the majority, in fact) believe this situation to be so.

But I’m venturing Cherry probably doesn’t care about social climate at all. Yeah, I agree. But at 85, I think it's just easier not to care. A 50-year old or 60-year old Cherry might have been sensitive enough to put in some effort to change ... maybe. I think his intent was good but out of step.

Also, how many of the people seen without poppies bought one but had it fall off? I bought one of those bands you wear around your wrist/forearm. I'm so bad at losing poppies. (Plus I have a bunch pinned to the visor in my truck) The additional options are nice. I always hated losing the poppies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Smashian Kassian Posted November 12, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) Yeah the 'you people that come here' comment seemed pointed. That's pretty hard to deny. I'm open to people making mistakes, if he had clarified that as not being just about immigrants I think hope we would've been able to get past it, but he didn't and it compounds his fault.

Also you know absolutely zero about my life, and I yours. Laughable. What do you think the term toxic masculinity is? Or the ilk of feminism that is prominently pushing the anti man ideal. A young white boy is on the bottom of this totem pole. My whole point was not that YOU think this way, but that you not being aware of or having experience with this is privileged for YOU. (Did not mean to antagonize) My larger point that I claimed you missed is that any talk of anyone being better or worse than anyone else based on race or gender was just as bad as any other. Its a slippery slope, and I am seeing the tip of the iceberg. A generation of men raised by women to be fair and idealistic, only to be blamed for these issues they had nothing to do with! I have talked to very intelligent women about how for instance when this hypocrisy exists, for instance men with breast cancer being turned away from the breast cancer organization because they are men. In response I get from these women, "yes, but its our turn now" To write me off, especially claiming that your subjective point of view relates to a general one, where I can point out time and time again where masculinity is being attacked, in the ever increasing feminizing of the west is the laughable and misguided part. Love that every response from you was purposefully antagonizing..thanks for the discourse. That being said, I typically like your posts. I get that this is getting way off topic. This is all a divisive subject. Edited November 12, 2019 by VanIsleNuckFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Crossbar Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Hopefully poppies will eventually be worn in the future to commemorate the victories over the radical progressive left. This coming from someone who's centre left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken. Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Whew what a read.. you people that come here.. talk about over analysis of a classic Don Cherry off the cuff remark. It is obvious his comments need to be taken with a grain of salt and they have been for a decade. This story exemplifies the hyper charged reactive social media society we live in, helps that sportsnet probably wanted an excuse to get rid of him anyway too and the media laps up controversy. I hope he issues a follow up statement to clarify, due to all this conjecture, as this Hockey icon does not deserve to be shamed this way, to this extent, in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
