Should Don Cherry Have Been Fired?

He did clarify. Still fired. He said all Canadians should wear poppies, you just ignore it.

Don Cherry is an equal opportunity slammer of Canadians he finds to be unpatriotic and not supportive enough of the troops. Pretending he only slams the immigrants for this is clear cut case of never having actually listened to Don Cherry.

He said so in an interview last night, after he was fired. Perhaps he can still get his job back, but he'll need to eat some crow. 

He said "You people. . . Come Here".  Easily identifiable as immigrants.

You suspect incorrectly, apologizing simply empowers the cancel culture, but they have a double standard for people whose politics they like versus those they don't like, just like you.

What a Trumpian philosophy. The apology worked for JT, the lack of one didn't for Cherry.

So what? Including immigrants shouldn't get him fired, anymore than calling out other Canadians for doing the same should get him fired. Enough of your blatant double standard virtue signalling.

That's because JT is one with the woke cancel culture, so he gets a pass. You simply side with SJW's cancelling people who don't agree with, because you are one with them too. Obvious partisan hackery is obvious.

Cherry has been Cherry for decades, long before Canadian media invented "Trumpian" excuses.

Cherry was Trump....before Trump.

Your sensibilities aren't shared by the people Rogers are clearly courting. That's not something that can be debated. Your opinion is yours. 

My parents and wife are immigrants, it's deeply troubling that they would be singled out as not participating in this annual patriotic litmus test. 

BTW he did get an opportunity to save his job. He choose not to.

“I could’ve stayed on if I wanted to and knuckled under, and turned into a simp, but that’s not my style,” Cherry said Monday night in an interview with Toronto radio station Newstalk 1010. “I’m unemployed now after 38 years. It’s kind of strange to be unemployed, halfway through the season. And of all days Remembrance Day. It’s sad.”

I'm simply referring to the idea that an apology is a sign of weakness. 

Clearly Don Cherry's importance to Rogers/CBC's bottom line has lessened in recent years.

Rogers can burn in hell for all eternity. If you don't want to watch Don Cherry, don't watch Don Cherry, stop trying to force that decision on others, by supporting him being cancelled because he isn't a cuck. You not wanting to watch him is not grounds for calling for him to be cancelled. Stop supporting cancel culture.

Cherry's remarks clearly angered more than just the Woke brigade on Twitter.

The organization that maintains broadcast standards says it can no longer handle anymore complaints about Don Cherry’s “you people” comment that he made on live television Saturday.

“The (Canadian Broadcasting Standards Council) has received a large number of very similar complaints concerning Coach’s Corner broadcast on CBC (Sportsnet) on November 9, 2019, exceeding the CBSC’s technical processing capacities,” a notice on the website read.

“Accordingly, while the CBSC will be dealing with this broadcast under its normal process, it is not able to accept any further complaints.”

 

I suspect a Millenial wouldn't even know what number to call to reach the CBSC.

It angered people with no good reason to be offended. Going around demanding people be cancelled because they are offended is lame, and so are you for supporting it.

Well considering his wife is dead. Yes he's not a cuck. He can't enjoy watching his wife have sex with other men. 

Cuck is perhaps the dumbest pejorative I've ever heard. 

If anyone is a Cuck it's Donald Trump. Dude has a Mail-Order bride that fawns over foreign leaders.

Way to deflect from the actual point being made with a complete non-sequitur to your Trump Derangement Syndrome. Further proof you refuse to argue in good faith.

No more than using the term Cuck to defend Cherry not backing down from saying something plainly racist. 

If you're a stubborn racist, you're not a cuck!

So this idea didn't exist before "Trump" and all things "Trumpian" ?

Canada and Rogers/CBC not only tolerated but encouraged Cherry's candid on air persona for decades...America even got him on ESPN and NBC.

Good for Don Cherry....the PC folk can kiss his ass on the way out.

He said nothing racist. He calls out everyone, not just immigrants. All you do is argue in bad faith with baseless accusations and mind reading.

You are a terrible judge of what is and isn't racist, just because you think something is racist, does not make it so.

I don't think they encouraged politically motivated tirades. They most certainly tolerated it. But no more. His treatment of the French and Europeans in the NHL is notorious. I guess the world finally left him behind.

He singled out people who come to this country. He could have said, people who don't don't wear poppy's aren't showing the proper respect to veterans. He said something that specifically targeted immigrants.

He has said that, on numerous occasions, but because he included immigrants one time, you claim racism and support him being fired.

Cherry had the opportunity to not be "Cancelled". 

If I do something my employer doesn't approve of and gives me a chance to rectify it. And I refuse. It's on me if I get fired.

That's fine....another piece of "Canadian culture" has also been left behind.

...and it has nothing to do with Donald Trump.

No one is arguing Rogers can't fire him, we are arguing it's a stupid idea, that you support.

If people stop watching HNIC because they can't get 10 minutes of Don Cherry, I suspect they didn't even like Hockey to begin with. 

Again I only referenced Trump in regards to the idea that you should never apologize for anything.
