yeah, go sens go, to the basement of the league, they're only 2 pts out even after tonight's win

do you watch hockey to follow your team? or just to feed your miserable, seething hatred for other teams?

Stay calm Chris it is only a game.

LOL WHATEVER GUYS.  The important things is the he has been silenced for good on television.  BUHBYE LOL

I still don’t see anything that makes me think he was talking about people of colour 

I guess you can read anything you want into just about anything 

 

Terry, do you honestly believe that Cherry was talking at white people when he made those comments??

I grew up in Southern Ontario and only moved in 2006.

Don't presume to know me or my beliefs.

Might be time to shut this thread down before it goes further down the rabbit hole.

wasn't talking about your beliefs. things have changed quite a bit here since 2006 and more so since trump took over. The point is you are not aware of how this area is these days since you have been gone for 13 years. Again, you are just playing games. 

Just now, DRIFTER_016 said:

Please show me where in his words he stated black or brown people.

You can't because he never said it, you inferred it.

 

You need to get out more there drifter. You know that is what he implied and you are just playing games. He sure as sugar wasn't talking about white folks. Or maybe your area of Canada doesn't have the diversity that we have here in southern Ontario,

Don said that 

I missed that part of his rant

so if he said that ,he could well be a racist 

Funny how the NP leaves out the important words and replaces them with .....

what he actually said.

So the you people that come here is not directed towards white immigrants Terry. If we were a country that only took in whites then he would have never stated this. He himself said that he chose the wrong words. He stated  that he should have said everyone.

You completely missed Dons message, although I'm not surprised.  

I am not surprised that you did not understand my message. Oh well. Oh and I know very well what Don stated. Seems to me that you do not want to accept the truth. Like Don said, I should have used a different word. See he knows he was wrong but not you lol. 

What the hay happened to the leafs guys??? They are sitting in 9th place in the conference this morning??? Funny how trotz can take a haphazard team like the isles and make them into contenders in a mere 1 season and a bit. Babcock doesn't seem to control his team the way Trotz does.

We he also talking about my oldman that came here in '57?   I'll ask my dad if he's outraged.

NO HE WASN''T TALKING ABOUT YOUR DAD UNLESS HE IS BLACK OR BROWN!!

...and there it is.   Everyone has their own interpretation of what Don said.   Of course the snowflakes that are so sensitive to absolutely everything will jump on this and think it's racist.  Perhaps they should look up the word racist and read it's definition before using it in a sentence.   

What is your definition of a snowflake there Bill?

good read explains it all too well.

Funny how there was a "protest" in front of Rogers head office yesterday and about a dozen showed up LOL. Some folks that support Cherry and his racism come from one of these.

It's not just the attitude of "this board"....  It is being echo'd across the country.    

 

IMO, you calling out "This Board", is just as bad as Don saying "you people". 

 

We all have are opinions, and that's a good thing.

sorry NAW i do not agree.

True colors ? What world to you live in that everything is peachy keen ?

As for the door comment, nah, stick around, ice will be here soon and there will be more fishing reports. LOL

 

I dont see it political. It,s Don Cherry after all. LOL

I respect a lot of members opinions on here Brian. It is just that some members drift from the actual topic to take cloaked shots at other members that do not agree. Some members are subversively making the discussion into political Bull.

Once again it's great to see the anti immigrant stance of a lot of members on this board. Threads like these make me wonder why I stick around here as you see the true colours of some people. Guess Im a glutton for punishment.

Waiting for the inevitable "Don't let the door hit you on the way out" from the usual suspects.

I am not surprised. Disappointed yes but not surprised about the attitude  of this board. One big reason why I left it for so many years.

response to you from the Hockey thread. 

The veterans are doing much better now with the current government in place. A lot of veterans affairs offices that were closed done by the previous government, not the one from 2015 to 2019, but the one before that, were reopened. It is not apples and oranges. You do not have to go to church to prove religion just as much as not wearing a poppy is not disrespectful to the fallen. If you take the two minutes in silence each Nov 11 and think and pray for the fallen then you have done much more than a dude who buys a poppy just so he looks good while wearing it. " LOOK AT ME!! I BOUGHT A POPPY!! I AM A GOOD MAN!!! LOL means nothing if you do not show reverence..

Apples and oranges... the poppy drive helps to fund veterans programs as the are severely underfunded by our government.

I think some of the problem is lots of people dont wear poppies. But instead of saying Canadians in general aren’t wearing poppies, he singled out immigrants in Mississauga and Brampton. “You people come here and enjoy our milk and honey” 

come on guys, if you can’t see that’s offensive.....

Some on here will not see that as offensive. SAD

He number 7 👍 on the list of the most admired Canadians  and that list is quite lib/left biased as David Suzuki and Pierre Trudeau are above him.

Whatever that means. Voted by whom?? Not on my list and never was. Like I said, do I have to go to church to prove that I believe in God? NO!! I don't have to wear a poppy to prove that I remember the sacrifice. I lost two uncles to the Germans in world war two. So yeah I pay my respects to all who fought and I bought a poppy. Now this thread is turning into attacking the left by the right. Stick to the subject of Don Cherry and nothing else.

Yay another political post!

 

Also good to see the usual Nationalists are out in full force! I wish the nationlists here would understand what Free Speech actually means as laid out by the charter of rights or even the american Constitution but oh well these are the same people who feel an old hockey coach commenting on a hockey broadcast has the right to say or do what he wants on matters not related to hockey without repercussions. 

Well said.

I guess wearing a poppy is too much to ask.  

Do you have to go to church to show that you are religious? Not wearing a poppy is not disrespectful and long as you remember the sacrifice.

Glad that he is gone. He is anti-immigrant and pro white so bye bye. Canada is all  inclusive and if you cannot get behind that then get in line behind cherry and show your true colors.

thank Christ Hughson or bob cole isn't commentating tonight, but these clowns are no better, gallie and yes man guy

I'm watching on SN1hd, know our audience, this is disgusting, I don't want to hear all this pro habs, habs are so great crap

Its funny to hear you say that about hughson. He is a die hard leaf fan. I am so sick of him propping up the leafs with more powerful adjectives than what he says about the opposing team. The guy is a clown.
