Don Cherry fired

[Hoid]

So you fawn all over Trudeau for apologizing, then mock Cherry for doing the same thing. At least you're consistent...consistently inconsistent, that is.

lol fawn over Trudeau

Did I mention that an apology doesn't even have to be sincere?

the poor old coach had to first establish that he said nothing wrong and would not change a word and would never back down.

with that out of the way he can snivel his way back into everyone's good graces.

 

[Tecumsehsbones]

Y'know, I ain't real fond of "You people. . ." but I gotta say this is an overreaction. I think Cherry shoulda just said publicly "When I said 'you people,' I meant the people who have a problem with wearing the poppy. It came out wrong. I'm sorry." and everybody shoulda just moved on.

"Cancel culture" has gone too far.

Unlike some others, I ain't bellyaching about Cherry's rights, nor anybody else's. I'm saying this was badly handled by all parties, worst of all by SportsNet.

Just the view up your skirt. . .

I've been calling his segment Crotch's Corner for nearly 30 years.

If Santa decorated Mrs.Claus's tree with his ornaments, the Left would accuse him off dangling his balls all over her Festive Bush.

Santa? Ya fired!

The "you people" comment was contextualized by also calling them "newcomers to our county"

pretty tough to deny the intent there, but good effort anyway.

 

[Hoof Hearted]

I don't recall Cherry using the phrase, 'newcomers to our country'.

More Hoid-speak.

 

[Hoid]

And now Cherry was not referring to immigrants

because white nattys

 

[petros]

Nattys are golden.

I'm all for Free Market,...l

No you aren’t. You’re for it when you like it and against it when you don’t. Trumpites are such hypocrites

 

[petros]

Hehehehehe

Calm down.

You're embarrassed.

Is it surprising that a white nationalist climate change denier would also deny that Cherry was speaking about immigrants?

No

it makes perfect sense

 

[B00Mer]

WOW!! What the fukk people!!

Cherry fukked up, now matter what he meant to say, he said "you people" followed right by new immigrants..

It's pretty self explanatory.. he was referring to "New Canadians" and he was out of line.

Rogers decided to fire him.. They were in their right..

Sorry to agree with Hoid on this one, but he should have walked the comments back and he would still be the FACE of Hockey Night In Canada.

But he stood by what he said and was fired..

NEVER really watched the guy, saw his clown suits from time to time.. But by the sound of it, it was his time. RIP

 

[petros]

Do any newcomers actually watch Crotch's Corner?

Should someone from, let's say Hong Kong not be grateful and not wear a poppy?
