Good job! You people ruin everything. So you’re good with Cherry spewing racist/xenophobic comments on national television? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retire him already, he has said stuff like this his whole career and yet Ron has never stood up to him and told him he’s wrong. They're basically like these two. A old crank well past his expiration date and an uncompromising ass kisser. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the thing, they weren't that at all. He spoke loosely, like he always does about every topic. Then the kids out there decide it must mean the most extreme scenario. Do you really truly believe he's a racist? Come on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a proven fact he’s a xenophobe, a quick Google search will give you multiple examples. If you chose not to see what’s right in front of you then I’m not gonna waste my time.

John_Guest Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 What I heard was him expressing concern people weren't buying poppies anymore. Then he went off on if you are enjoying the benefits of this country you should buy a poppy. Sometimes I think people believe what they're told to believe rather than listening for themselves. I didn't hear anything racist or xenophobic. Didn't look at the first 4 pages. Did anybody post the video yet? Here it is if they didn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don never mentions race at all so all this is about the phrase "you people". If this is the new standard for dismissal, all I can say is thank, christ, alllah, and all the other imaginary sky fairies, I'm really close to retiring. That said Don should have retired quite a while back. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the "straw that broke the camel's back" argument, but don't see why all the outrage over what he said this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because the leftists today need to find inequality in everything, in their minds anything that can be taken the wrong way must be the most extreme, worst case scenario. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Guest Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Ron Maclean's a wienie for apologizing. This isn't the first time anybody got angry at Don Cherry for being right. But this time he's "Politically" Incorrect so Maclean has to clasp his hands together bow his head and say, "I sowwy." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldoescobar Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I’ve always liked listening to Cherry’s thoughts and comments on hockey and imo that is what he should have stuck to. In the words of Gordon Ramsay... What a shame, what a shame... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
