Rogers is likely going to take a big hit financially and it looks good on them for succumbing to all the lefty hypocrites. People tend to only follow others on social media that are like minded and of similar opinions
Toronto_Angler Posted November 13, 2019 Report Posted November 13, 2019 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. 3

You are not ignorant so don't play it. Cherry knows it's racist. His supporters know it's racist. They support him because he is who he is. He was allowed to say it and would have been able to continue if he had apologized. He didn't, because he didn't miss speak, or stumble over his words (which he does a lot).
captpierre Posted November 13, 2019 Author Report Posted November 13, 2019 Cheery was on Fox News’ Tucker Carlson’s Show. Carlson couldn’t understand what the problem was.
Weeds Posted November 13, 2019 Report Posted November 13, 2019 Has he made any attempt to deny that his comments were aimed at immigrants? You’d think that be the natural response of someone who felt they’d been misunderstood. I would of thought he’d have had ample time by now. 1
SirCranksalot Posted November 13, 2019 Report Posted November 13, 2019 Nothing to do with free speech.If someone comes to your house and starts using foul language----permitted by the constitution but unacceptable in your house------you are certainly entitled to kick him out. Rogers, TSN or whoever have that same right. Cherry can go down the street with his own soapbox. 2
SirCranksalot Posted November 13, 2019 Report Posted November 13, 2019 Regardless ofthe reason I am glad to see him go---long overdue. Sad to see and someone so senile and making so little sense ramble on. Down at the pub it might be Ok, but on national TV?? 1

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. Edited November 13, 2019 by NAW 3
pikehunter Posted November 13, 2019 Report Posted November 13, 2019 Big Cliff, i have always respected and looked up to your words and opinions.

SirCranksalot Posted November 13, 2019 Report Posted November 13, 2019 You should have seen some of the crap over on the OFAH board when they had a political sub-forum. Unbelievable!!

Unbelievable!! I left the OFAH over 20 years ago when the " FUDDS " there sold out recreational shooters with their " it's not suitable for hunting B.S." Guess even they have been pushed too far since then or got their heads out the sand.
Fish Farmer Posted November 13, 2019 Report Posted November 13, 2019 (edited) Last I understood, were all immigrants. Was I offended, NO!! I hope Don runs for Prime Minister, we need someone that tells the truth. and that so called friend Mclean should be ashamed throwing his partner under the bus. Were living in a weak world now. To many people throwing the race card if they disagree. You can't say a thing to your kids anymore or they'll run to mommy and cry, try and take their cel phone off them, life ended I'll commit suicide. Edited November 13, 2019 by Fish Farmer 4 1

Love talking fishing here. Hate talking politics. I mean there are a million toxic political boards for that. Fishing is my escape from that garbage but it seems that the toxic political talk takes that away here.

As far as Don Cherry's opinions, he's entitled to think whatever he wants. Personally, I buy & wear a poppy the 1st day they become available and always wear it till the 11th but if I see someone not wearing one I certainly wouldn't chastise him for it because it's his choice. 5
