Well by that logic, no one should ever be held accountable for their actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think it is somehow appropriate to take something out of context and yet argue that semantics are a cop out? Seems like the perfect excuse to justify complete ignorance, one of the defining traits of social justice activism. Keep grasping here. What he said was inappropriate. “Social Justice activism” is a convenient way of saying the majority of people don’t want to watch Don embarrass himself and the country slipping casual bigotry into hockey broadcasts anymore. If Rogers/Sportsnet thought Cherry was worth the money they’d have kept him around like they have the dozens of other times he’s said offensive crap. Times have changed and he’s not worth putting up with anymore. It’s not capitulation to political correctness or some left-wing conspiracy - it’s multi-million dollar companies reading the room. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post King Heffy Posted November 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 13, 2019 The man clarified what he was trying to say afterwards and the explanation was good enough for me. Show me a guy who's never said something that didn't come out quite right and had to explain what he meant wasn't the worst possible interpretation, and I'll show you a man who's always been single. 1 1 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoneypuckOverlord Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 On 11/12/2019 at 1:34 PM, Heretic said: We're a country that says it's okay for a Prime Minister to have worn a "brown" face and believes the only good Prime Minster is one with Quebec descent. If you voted Liberal - and hate what Cherry said - you're a hypocrite. My take - I liked Cherry - when his comments were Hockey based. He crossed the line on Saturday - and crossed it further making a comment later that he stands by what he said. I fully agree with Sporstnet on firing him. that's a totally different circumstance and what trudeu did in the past has nothing to do with him today, add to the fact people were ok with it.

Popular Post 189lb enforcers? Posted November 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 13, 2019 Imagine the horrors these souls faced in the wars. And what life was like for them at home if they lived. The families these people raised or were part of also share a common disaster. An entire generation was ruined, spawning a trickledown into today. I don’t think many people appreciate how awful war is, not really. Cherry surely had that part inside of him and his blundered message. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

189lb enforcers? Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 (edited) “ You people that come here, whatever it is, you love our way of life, you love our milk and honey, at least you can pay a couple bucks for a poppy or something like that," Cherry said during Saturday’s Coach’s Corner segment. "These guys paid for your way of life that you enjoy in Canada, these guys paid the biggest price." Then... “ I don’t regret anything that I said. I wish I had of said it different, I wish I said ‘everybody’ instead of ‘You people’, I should have said everybody. I still believe everybody should wear a poppy. Everybody, I don’t mean one or two. I still say downtown Toronto and Mississauga, they did not wear a poppy. I don’t back down one bit saying that.” If he was right, this is then an interesting social question. Once people are done outraging, maybe there is a discussion to be had concerning the heritage and values of Canada not being observed by new Canadians, who definitely enjoy the milk and honey set forth by a people that came before them. Is Canada’s host culture changing as the demographics change from immigration? Are there behaviours to support this? Edited November 13, 2019 by 189lb enforcers?

Tucker Carlson I predicted this, Cherry on Fox news, Stupid move by Cherry just shows his true colours. Tucker Carlson is a scumbag and Fox news is a right wing racist so called news station who has no business involving themselves in Canada's business. What respect I had for Cherry is now gone.

Maddogy Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Don Cherry is a great guy but a terrible hockey commentator and a terrible communicator. His employer knew this type of thing was gonna happen and yet still hired him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
