Finally.

Respecting the poppy, oh hell no!

Leading a country, dressing up in black face, lying numerous times, commiting criminal acts, handing terrorists millions of dollars, oh hell ya!

He isn't wrong. Sportnet should be ashamed of themselves for firing him.

Firing him on Remembrance Day is bullshit. Everyone knows Don cares more about veterans than anyone and to do it on the National Holiday dearest to him, which also distracts attention away from the vets we’re supposed to be honouring today, is just the kind of garbage I’d expect from a scum company like Rogers.

He apologized for black face. Cherry didn't and this is not the first time he has done this.


Also who is not respecting the poppy?

Cherry is an idiot and hasn’t been relevant for a long time

However, in the same breathe there has not been a public figure who has been a bigger proponent for veterans and the armed forces in general. On a nightly basis he has been honouring the fallen who have made the ultimate sacrifice for DECADES

What an absolute slap in the face and the ultimate show of caving to the cancel culture SJW to fire him ON REMEMBRANCE DAY! God, what a disgusting misstep by SN.

Also, you taking JT at his word as an “apology” is golden. You mean when he apologized for the first black face? Or the second? Or when he ended up forgetting all together how many times he did it? Or when he lied about SNC? Or that other lie about the Jodie wilson thing?

We hold Cherry to tells people to respect the poppy in a 10 second segment in higher standard than our prime minister? Jesus Christ

He's said so many stupid things over the years I'm actually surprised he's lasted this long. This is a good thing for him, he should enjoy the time he has left doing other things not work related.

Terrible timing of a bad decision by SN.

Although I think Cherry's relevance in today's NHL was gone a long time ago, he honoured the brave men and woman who sacrificed in WW1 and WW2 for Canada through his platform on HNIC.

Did he use a bad choice of words "You people" in his rant? :considered:


Weak ass move by Rogers to fire the guy on Remembrance Day. :facepalm:

When athletes talk about social issues people tell them to stick to sports, look what happened Colin kaepernick. cherry is/was a hockey commentator and should of stuck to just talking about hockey on coaches corner.

The people at Sportsnet and CBC before it, who fought to preserve Canadian institutions like Don and Coach's Corner and HNIC are no longer with those organizations. They have all been replaced by PC-minded shills. They would gladly throw Don/Coach's Corner/HNIC and any other tradition in the trash and replace it with cost effective, bland programming like the History Channel's downfall. They type of people who don't wear a poppy and couldn't give two shits about the sacrifices of soldiers.

Sports are one of many integral parts in brainwashing a new world order... cant have immigrant commoners feel singled out and be turned off from it or have them discourage their children from it.

Out of the last 20 customers all old stock Canadians only 3 have had a poppy. Talking to another customer he said cherry was kind of right. Then I point out that he is not wearing a poppy but the Asian outside getting air is.

The problem with the poppy is that their are not that many veterans left. Before poppies where sold everywhere but now they are harder to find. We use to have old customer that would bring in poppies for us to sell but he died.

Where does Canadian charity money go anyway... everything is pooled to finance its colonial mother and black ops like in Venezuela and Syria as of late.

It goes to the legion.

Spencer fernando? FailFish get that trash out of here.

If he knew he was on his way out, I wish he made a comment about the rainbow poppies the LBTQ community was talking about.

Kind of like how Canadian taxes get spent in Canada? Dont believe everything you read.

the legion is not run by the government. Maybe you should visit a legion sometime.

Do you have facts to back that up? Whose bank account does all the world war charity money get funnelled into?

inb4 the legions bank account.

I was at Metrotown on Saturday and only 10% of the people were wearing a poppy. Of the few poppies I did see, more "visible minorities" were wearing them than "stereotypical Canadian looking folk" (interpret that as you wish).

So yeah, it's disappointing that poppies aren't being worn by the majority but Don Cherry is spreading fake news by implying that #youpeople and immigrants are responsible for this.

What is Sportsnet going to do in terms of the 1st intermission content for HNIC now that Cherry and Coach's Corner is gone? :considered:
