You can argue he wasn't talking about immigrants, but he has been discriminatory in the past and clearly has bigoted views. He should've been fired years ago, so being outraged over him being fired is pretty funny.

Yes that is correct

Also how can you possibly argue he wasn't talking about immigrants? Other than actually saying the word immigrant it's super obvious.

Non Canadians ITT with very strong opinions

It's really weird that was one that did cherry in. It's like #200 on the list of worst things he's said

Yup. Watching the news piece together all the other things he's said over the years is amazing. Some real good stuff.

you have have your head completely buried in the sand to think he's not specifically mentioning immigrants. "you go to the small towns, they wear them. you go to downtown toronto, forget about it" also, did you not hear his whole you come to our country, milk and honey spiel???

also, this isn't cancel culture. this is capitalism. the nhl and sportsnet isn't going to let some dumbass old dinosaur alienate like 30% of the potential customers. they really should have fired him for his comments about analytics, if we're being honest. also, what are we really losing as hockey fans? damn, he really had some sick insight into player evaluation by always recommending that the leafs draft the biggest, toughest kid from the OHL every year. i did enjoy coaches' corner transcribed though, i will admit.

Who cares

Cherry used his public platform regularly to pay honor to fallen soldiers.

So who is going to do that now? No one is who. How damn ironic.

He'd also campaign for others in need, sick kids, permanently injured players, bus crash communities, 1st responders, etc. He never ignored these things like most people do and at least tried to do something. He had his flaws but if I had to go into a trench I could do way way worse than having Donald S. in there with me.

lol Why are you acting like #supportingthetroops makes him special? The Senators have a "Hero's Ridge" moment literally every home game where they show a vet on the jumbotron and everyone gives them a standing ovation. And every team in the league has a military appreciation night. Stop acting like he's brave for this ****.

His segment has sucked for the longest time anyway. He spent like half of every segment talking about how hot the players looked in their fancy suits walking into the building.

Sorry but millions of viewers every week for 30 years does not equal 9,000 Sens fans a night for the past few years.

Cherry being a big time bigot time and time again kinda overshadows how awful the whole culture of bullying people into supporting the troopz is in and of itself. Like, even if he had called out some random white dude from Moose Jaw for not wearing a poppy instead of directing his bile towards brown people, it would've been a shitty thing to say.

These are the messages associated with poppies, “Lest We Forget” and “Never Again”, not support our troops.

Speaking of atrocities, has anyone taken a look at the Sharks contract situation lately?

He commented and said he was giving the chance to apologize and will not. He said he meant all CDN's but knew when he said "You People" he was in trouble.

Also if he came out and said " In no way was I referring to immigrants but all CDN's as a whole" Id be saying move on .

Also I don't think Trans Gender kids should be allowed any hormone therapy or puberty blockers till they turn 18. Also Trans Gender males to female should be banned from competing against woman

Now it turns out he was going to apologize, so Sportsnet lied.

Orly? He said on global news he wasn't going to apologize, just clarify that instead of 'you people' he should've said 'everyone'

Yeah, the guy appearing on Tucker Carlson's white power hour tonight was really going to apologize and totally mean it. Jesus ****ing christ guys.

(He still could apologize and it's obvious why he hasn't)

Careful buddy, things will be ok for mediocre white men in 2019 just like they have been for hundreds of years.

Yah I mean he even admitted in that quote right above your post that the motivation for the apology would be to smooth things over. No way he thinks what he said was wrong.

The 4 goal lead is the most dangerous lead in sports

perfect

did the bruins put malcolm subban in goal for the 3rd period?

wow
