I didn't even think it was that bad. It was worded poorly but really all he's saying is buy a poppy to support the country and people who fought for it that you now live in. People are way too sensitive these days. Cherry has been out of touch for awhile but this comment shouldn't of been the straw that broke the camels back.

Good riddance.
I was born in Canada, my parents came here as immigrants. He was addressing me, you and everyone else who didnt buy a poppy. And he is right in what he said.
Rather than admit that people are choosing to play the “insert bleeding heart movement” card here? You should be ashamed twice if that is the case. Fuxcking stupid internet social media garbage. We are in a bad place when the truth gets you fired.
All that said, when I heard what he said I KNEW it was going to be blown out of proportion.
Couldn't agree more! People are missing the forests for the trees. Let's all crucify a 85 year old man because he's asking people who come and now love our country to wear a poppy? The message here is that we need to continue to remember the people who have fought for our freedom. The truth is I am working today on this holiday because my employer is making us and giving us an extra day during Christmas holidays. Their justification is that no one really cares about remembrance day anyway. It's sad. Now more people are going to minimize this holiday and the poppy itself because they don't want to be associated with Don Cherry or bigotry.

It does seem strange that this was the straw that broke the camels back, considering the history of shitty things he has said over the years. Noteworthy that it was Sportsnet that canned him after CBC let his bigotry slide for so many years.
Rylant
Sportsnet was already bleeding money and they just fired the only true cash cow they had.
Good luck Sportsnet!

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
It's funny with political correctness these days. I was watching a show with my wife the other night and we were talking about the characters she liked. Well on the screen at the time their was a white or Caucasian and a black or African american. Trying to be political correct, I started describing the African american character without using the color of his skin. When my wife had no idea who I was talking about, I eventually had to state do you mean the black guy? Their was zero racism or bigotry in my comments, in fact I work with people of different color, my favorite golfer is black, my favorite hockey player for a time was black, heck even my favorite movie star is black. Yet in today's society were so concerned about political correctness, I couldn't in the wrong or maybe right group? Just say the black guy and cut out all the other bull crap of describing all his features. Yet what is the first thing they state on a missing persons report? Their color.

I nominate Sean Avery.
Your right it's not but I purposely don't describe people by their skin color in public because I am worried about wrongfully being accused of being racist. When in fact in most situations it's the far easier way to identify someone. People now a days are just waiting in the wings to jump on people for having a slip up. It's sad.
