The Toronto Suns Joe Warmington was the first to report the news on Monday, indicating he had been told by Cherry that he had been fired. Cherry is reported to have told Warmington that he was hurt to be fired today of all days, given it is Remembrance Day.
(let me know if you want on or off the ping list)
Grapes still has his fastball.
So in Canada, a guy gets to keep his job for wearing black face and another loses his job for standing up for Veterans?
Telling the truth ... we can't have that.
After the Raptors won the NBA title, I suspect you’ll start hearing more and more derision of Hockey in Canada as the sport of “White, Rednecks”.
Canada and its sports media are drowning in the PC toilet.
Gertzky for Prime Minister.
Make Hockey Great Again.
Cherry has a valid point on “his” immigrants, In Canada, most are from the turd islamic world. We are the crusaders with a crusader history of which they have no part of, no understanding, only animosity of the crusader/ infidel. They are not here to integrate nor learn about our culture.
Heaven forbid you actually expect basic CIVICS from immigrants...
I watched a lot of hockey in the 1970s.
Hockey was much better when it divided people, not united them!
Sports brings people together it unites us, not divides us,

It brought me and mine together...
All the corporations care about is "minority market share". They are all fighting each other over it. Lots of dollars to spend. Government handouts. Ooh.
What gets me about these phony goldbricking turd world immigrants and refugees is that they claim to have come here to escape persecution and violence in their home countries.
Yet the first thing they bitch about here is the paint color they chose doesn't really look like what they thought it would look like when they put it on their walls.
So they want a REFUND. And management gives it to them.
Lying sacks of sh!t.
And BTW none of them believe in using contraceptives. That's only for white American women. So they can extinct themselves. Dumbest women on the face of the earth.
Genocide. Pure and simple.
Band of Gold--Don Cherry (1955)
Sportsnet: Don, you’re going to have to apologize.
Don Cherry: FOAD
The usual claptrap. What are those values? If those values involve ingratitude and scorn for military sacrifices why not have the courage to say so and deal with a similar (or worse) set of consequences?
I am probably going to tee off a few people here with my few cents worth here. I have not watched Hockey Night In Canada for a long time. It is overlong and overproduced and even though I am more likely to agree with what Don has to say about something as opposed to disagreeing, his rants and schticks are that good part of the aforementioned issue. This latest incident is a good example of this sort of thing.
For the last number of winters, I’ve been content to watch the Sunday afternoon games on NBC as they just simply give you a game of the week straight and that’s it. It’s kind of nice to watch a little golf afterwards, since in February you ought to be enjoying winter to one extent or another but nice to be able to look forward to when you can tee it up in that near while later on, lol.
I’d dare anybody to be able to sit down at about 6:30 Saturday PM and watch about a half hour of gabbing and talking by CBC reporters and commentators and then the game and then Coach’s Corner and then the remainder of the first game and then another one (from the West) and that goes to about midnight or so. This in contrast to when I began watching (when Don was still coaching the Bruins, the Flames were still in Atlanta, Carter in the White House, Iran still had it Shah) when the game started at 8:00 and when on to about 10:30 or 11:00 and that was it, plus with ones like Dave Hodge or Brian McFarlane and others at that time.
Coaches Corner with Don Cherry obviously has nothing on Managers Corner with Earl Weaver.
Grapes for Prime Minister!
Don Cherry’s Memorable Suits...some are eye bleeding...No. 21 is a great American one. Enjoy

“When contacted by the Toronto Sun, Cherry refused to apologize. “I have had my say,” he told the paper on Sunday.”
Get ‘em Grapes! Sic Blue on them too.
