I’m late to the post (stupid location shoot overseas)..
Back in 2003, when the world (and canadians) were burning America flags because of the Iraq War,
and still remember how the MSM fed the world that Dubya was evil, the USA is evil and our soldiers in Iraq are evil? It was amplified 50 times when you were not in the USA..
Don Cherry went on Hockey Night in Canada wearing an American tie and told the viewers during the 1st intermission to knock off the anti-American crap and LECTURED the viewers that Americans are good people and they should not be doing stupid sh*t as we are great neighbors and they protect us. etc.
I remembered this very well. It was the Maple Leafs vs the Habs.
Don Cherry is a friend of America and old school. He calls like it is and may have accelerated my move to America...
It’s sad to see PC end yet another classic career.
Don got on my nerves a few times but he spoke the truth from his heart and I will always respect him for that.
