Speaking for myself, Cherry used a poor choice of words but I don't think he should have been fired imo. However if that's now the standard she should be fired too because you can't have it both ways. 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for the record, I thought her comments were &^@#ing stupid and if she loses her job over them, oh well. But for everyone in the "everything is equal" camp, is she also a Canadian icon who's had a habit of making bigoted statements towards hockey players/white folks for 35+ years?

The remarks should be what the decision is solely based on. Much like Cherry, she had a platform and made divisive comments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you think it was that comment also dredging up his long, sordid history of making similar comments in the past? I also think if Cherry has just come out Sunday and said "Sorry, I got too fired up about a topic I'm very passionate about and misspoke. Every Canadian should wear a poppy!", he'd still have a job; but he chose not to. Edited November 14, 2019 by HerrDrFunk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really impressed by her clarification tho... Carcillo's comments are interesting, and at least from some real experience in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said yesterday, timing is everything. If she thought that it was the correct time to make a comment like that, she deserves to get fired. It is obvious that it wasn't and she lacked the foresight to see that. It is inexcusable. It was a racist, ignorant comment made at the wrong time on a national stage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d have to inquire with Sportsnet about that. I’d assume there was some leakage but he’s made stupid comments before and wasn’t fired. 2 minutes ago, HerrDrFunk said: Or do you think it was that comment also dredging up his long, sordid history of making similar comments in the past?

They knew a cash cow when they saw one, until it was no longer profitable. 2 minutes ago, HerrDrFunk said: I also think if Cherry has just come out Sunday and said "Sorry, I got too fired up about a topic I'm very passionate about and misspoke.

I have to imagine, from Sportsnet's perspective, it was "Oh for &^@#s sake, again?". No, Cherry wasn't fired for similar comments in the past but does that give him free reign to continue to make those comments? 3 minutes ago, PhillipBlunt said: Maybe it was Monday. I don’t remember.

ReggieBush Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 What if she or anyone else for that matter made a comment attacking a different demographic? What if she called basketball culture toxic and that from her experience they are just black boys who are bullies? I guarantee she would be fired for that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows? Whomever hired her should look at her uninformed, racist, and moronic statement and treat it as such. Otherwise they’re enabling her bigotry. 7 minutes ago, Jimmy McGill said: Not really impressed by her clarification tho... Not at all. There’s an air of self-righteousness in her explanation that seems eerily familiar to the words of the idiot who tweeted about the race and age of the victims of the Humboldt bus crash. 7 minutes ago, Jimmy McGill said: Carcillo's comments are interesting, and at least from some real experience in the game.

Carcillo's tweet chain got posted at the top of the last page. He pretty much agrees with what's her name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
