Boges Posted November 12, 2019 Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 Just now, Yzermandius19 said: 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a Trumpian philosophy. The apology worked for JT, the lack of one didn't for Cherry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.

He choose not to. https://www.ctvnews.ca/sports/i-don-t-regret-a-thing-don-cherry-speaks-out-on-his-firing-and-ron-maclean-1.4680203 Quote “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.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Boges Posted November 12, 2019 Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 Cherry's remarks clearly angered more than just the Woke brigade on Twitter. https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/don-cherry-hnic-you-people-hockey-coachs-corner Quote 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.

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
