I think the poll should have been worded 'offensive'. Not offended.
“You people ... that come here, whatever it is, you love our way of life, you love our milk and honey,” Cherry said. “At least you could pay a couple of bucks for poppies or something like that. These guys paid for your way of life, that you enjoy in Canada.”

Is your question, was I offended or was the comment offensive? Those are two completely different questions.
The comment was definitely offensive yet I was not offended as I don't care at all what any body says about me so I am very difficult to offend.
If you were offended by Cherry, or considered it offensive, I would recommend you avoid Chapelle's latest comedy show "Sticks and Stones."
You'll be traumatized for months, maybe years, and will probably have to quit your career for a while.
And there's nothing wrong with that.
Some people believe in "Sticks and Stones." Some don't. I personally think society would be better off if more people did, but who knows.
Poor choice of words, just like the incident itself.
Thinking of starting a second poll:
Firing of an 85-year-old man after years of warnings regarding his inappropriate conduct at work:
Are you offended? Yes / No
There's so much reaction to how "triggered" people were to Cherry's comments--I think the real overreaction has been to those who feel all of their freedoms are being taken away because an entertainment company made a business decision to protect what is certainly a target demographic (non-traditional hockey fans).
Time for this whole ordeal to fade away....

Taken from a sample size of people who really enjoy hockey...
What do you hope to prove with this poll data?

I assume the hope was that there was indeed a "silent majority", like Don Cherry suggested, that agreed with his statements.
Of course a poll on a hockey website is not a great way to achieve this, and even still it looks like it's not bringing about the desired result.
Intent and impact are two very different things.

All, I stand by my wording. I was arguing in the other thread that I am shocked people were "offended" by his comment. And yes the small sample size according to my poll is proving that people are in fact offended by such a minor comment. Lastly people saying I don't understand how a poll on a hockey website means anything should read the below.

Next we're going to have a poll to determine whether or not the wording of this poll is offensive
