Sportsnet Overreacts And Drops The Ball

Sportsnet: We fired Don Cherry.
Reporter: Now what?
Sportsnet:

Honk, honk!

*****

So what's the hoopla all about? Cherry said:

You people… you love our way of life, you love our milk and honey, at least you can pay a couple bucks for a poppy or something like that,” he said. “These guys paid for your way of life that you enjoy in Canada, these guys paid the biggest price.”

Did anyone bother to ask what he meant by 'you people'? I use that all the time and it's not directed at snowflake minorities who offend easily. I just use it as a generic phrase.

I gotta plead ignorance on this. Any woke progressives out there to set my language straight and be awoke? 

As for his over all point? I think he's right. People should honour our dead soldiers. I don't think it should be mandatory and people have all sorts of reasons not to - and this should be respected - but the ones who don't have an excuse except to be lazy and should know better, you should rethink your position.

The more we're disconnected from our past, the worse our dark age gets.

Never apologize. And Cherry stands by his comments.

Good on him.

Cheer!

Ron MacLean, for his part, folded like a cheap hockey net.

Booo!

*****

So Sportsnet over reacts AND they fire him on November 11.

Nice classy move guys.

Now get to replacing Cherry with some lame ass who will follow your shitty 'woke' scripts.

Chop, chop.
