    Default The demise of Don Cherry?

    I'm pretty sure most of you have heard that Don is done on HNIC because of his comment about lack of support for Remebrance Day& its meaning .I know how I feel about what he had to say:curious what you think...

    Hi sweetie!
    For the record:in the MILLION years Iv'e endured the Cherry/MacLean monologue, I think Iv'e only agreed with him twice.That was the second time.It's not so much what he said, but the fact that we can't say boo out loud.What has Canada become?I don't mean this to be a racist supportive or political thread:it's just about reasonable freedom of speech.

    I grew up listening to the man, I did not always agree with what he said, but he does a lot to support the troops, taught a lot of kids about the game of hockey, it seems he started to stumble his words in the last few years but the man is 85, I will miss him just kind of sucked he got canned on remembrance day of all days...

    He just needed to apologize , guess he chose to be stubborn

    Freedom of speech allows for one to say whatever they want, right or wrong, agree with them or not
    The thing is, when he said what he said he was under the employment of Rogers ,, and that's where things get slippery

    Basically while on the job, he represents he's employer, clearly his bosses didn’t agree with his statements, they apologized
    for him and he just needed to apologize as well ,,

    The other thing is, after such a rich career he didn't need to go out like that
    Too bad he'll be remembered for this, as the last memory

    By the way ,, this isn't the first time he got fired from coaches corner,, he got fired once before when things went to punches

    rogers/sportsnet set him up
    they were obviously looking to get rid of him and this was their out
    for a man that has said many controversial things in the past if they wanted to keep him under contract they would have taped his show and not shown it live

    Don Cherry is an outspoken individual who has been patriotic to Canada but calling him a racist or bigot is far fetched regardless if you agree or don't agree with his views in the past. If people would use common sense and look at them self, Who were the first Canadian settlers? Do native Indians (First Nations) come to mind? The comment made by Don Cherry reflected on the majority of the people in this country and did not stereotype a specific demographic race, therefore calling him a racist or a bigot has to be the most stupidest analysis of Don Cherry out there in social media. This was part of the purge at Sportsnet which was initiated earlier in the year and is still in motion.
