Donald's facing a penalty

[sumdumguy]

I am sure his family has reminded him to mind his tongue. Some times we don’t need to say exactly what we think Cherry. Yougotta Cherry Pick your words, even when you wanna call somebody a “shit”.

Soon we will hear a message from serial groper PM Blackface regarding “inclusion”.

Looks like cherry is finished. They canned him today. He should have done his show in black face instead, that seems to be acceptable these days.

Somehow i doubt viewers are going to go up as result of comments or firing. Since Kaepernick, pro sports just keeps finding new ways of pissing off its customers. Think I'll watch the nephew, locally, before i turn on Sportsnet. You can see sports dying locally just as much as professionally. It's taking a population of roughly 5000 to ice a hockey team. Melfort had to join a couple other centers to get a house league midget hockey team. Sad.

The simple answer is thats its got too expensive
To play minor hockey or go to an nhl game
And too many politics in both
Unfortunately one other thing holding kids sports is that parents dont wanna committ

Cherry is the one to blame for his obvious anti immigrant message that is dividing Canadians. Those were his words no one elses

It’s not anti immigrant he’s voicing his opinion but I guess he has no rights just the people that don’t respect our values have rights.
I think immigrants should respect those who sacrificed so our country could be the way it is.
The freedom thing has been taken too far they did not fight for those that don’t respect our values.
Is there a boycott Sportsnet page? I might asking it be down off my tv package fk them.

Who said immigrants or minorities don't respect our values or Canada? That is a bullshit assumption. They fought and died in the wars with us and and fought with us as allies and helped build this country.

Not wearing a poppy is not a sign of disrespect. Katoe posted about numerous farmers not wearing poppies at coffee row. Would Cherry walk into a coffee shop and tell them they were disrespectful? I doubt it. But if there is a chance to criticize recent immigrants Cherry can't hold back, lumping them all under the catch phrase of "you people".

Another post was about how our airmen were supported by Punjabi East Indians and how much his family respected them.

Cherry chose to show disrespect to immigrants, immigrant veterans, and all veterans by making bigoted and divisive statements on Remembrance weekend.

In a country that is full of immigrants and their decedents from many parts of the world it is hard to understand why Cherry would forget about the history of his nation.

He deserved to be fired.

We live on the western edge of being in the North East league. Got into Prince Albert league last year, saved over $3000 in gas money. Those trips after school to Hud Bay only to get home after midnight got real old. I realize it's mostly due to my location but most parents can't foot that bill knowing it's for fun and jr isn't going to the show. Lots of politics in sports, not just hockey. It's bizarre to watch it die but that is the reality.

I found his comments actually very generic. I believe it was you of the hysterical left that made it bigger than it was.

I live in a town with hundreds of immigrants living here. More than 10% of the population.

I have them living across the street and down the street from me. I find them hard working and very friendly. I am the first to greet them when they move into the neighborhood.

However, I went to the Remembrance day ceremony which was attended by 250 people or so. There was one family and one other individual visible minority in attendance. Kind of shows what Don Cherry was talking about.

I think it is more out of not knowing our war history than being wilfully disrespectful.
