Anonymous Poll. Was Don Cherry's "you people come here" comment offensive?

[Wonko]

If anybody is still interested in this fiasco, I think this non partisan opinion piece raised a number of salient points.

This conversation is obviously tiresome, and I have no idea how we have two separate threads of 8+ pages on it. However, for the "conservatives" who are tired of the SJWs and "cancel culture", listen to Sean McIndoe on this week's Puck Soup podcast. Not Greg, nor Ryan Lambert, both of which you both likely bucket into the "soft leftist" category, but I really have no idea how you could lump DGB into that category. Maybe hearing a measured opinion from someone not on an internet forum who generally identifies as "more old school" may provide some additional perspective for you. Or maybe you don't want to hear it and want to just keep yelling into clouds about how the reason Cherry got fired is because he said people should wear poppies.

This thread is almost as good as the Marner offer sheet thread. Almost.

Amazing how emotional people became over the topic and after all of that he didn't even miss a preseason game. lol

[lobo1969]

Sure, sure. Might as well get your jabs in before the thread gets locked. Atta boy.

This poll/thread deserves nothing less than to get locked.

[PrairieDog]

So the very first sentence already misses the point.

If you read past the first sentence, you'll see I'm making a bigger point (that this issue falls within).

Oh the irony.

This thread about censorship/cancel culture isn't to my liking. Shut it down.

Just want to thank everybody for all the support and kind words. You'll be hearing from me soon. Thumbs up!

[ericdaoust]

I bet he's less damaged emotionally than a lot of his supporters

Kudos to CTV for not caving to social mob pressure, even though Allen's rant was arguably worse than Cherry's.

I do hope that you realize that just because you are generous and caring, it does not mean that it’s not possible for you to be a racist as well.
