- Don Cherry spoke Tuesday about his firing from "Coach's Corner" following a controversial rant on Saturday night, defending his comments about new immigrants not wearing poppies, but said he would have "used different words."
During the interview, he said had he been able to appear on-air on Nov. 16, he would've said, "I wish I had said 'everybody' instead of 'you people.'"
Pressed about his comments, Cherry said his comments weren't directed at minorities, and that what he said applies to anyone.

You can tell he's really hurt by Ron turning on him.
His buddy stabbed him pretty hard cause he has no balls himself
Yes he stabbed him in the back. He is old school people are weak and get offended.
That woman is horrendous at interviewing.
IddamBae IE3 you got that right.. like be prepared for the line of questions... global should sack her ...
“You People” should get a better interviewer.
She's probably an SJW. They're a little slow
@@sensboy1 Agreed.
It felt like she was desperately trying to manipulate Mr. Cherry into a confession !!!
“Have you ever been reprimanded for comments?”
Is this the first time she’s ever heard of Don Cherry??
InMotionForAMillion I’m curious to know who she is; liked the interview. Relentless.
This woman reporter is brutal. Classic media. Just trying to push her view. Totally unbiased media. The guy just wants Canadians to wear poppies. Who cares if it sounded like it was targetted at immigrants. It's true isn't it, this is the country immigrants come where they don't have to adapt as much (as say the US).
@@seanhurley4003 The problem with that is that Canadians and Americans go to other parts of the world and still expect people to cater to them instead of integrating into their culture. When North Americans tour Europe they expect people to speak english and sell them food/items that are familiar to them and not of that culture. Another aspect of your hypocrisy is that if you were to go to another country - lets say China - and live there for a month. Would you wear Chinese national pride items to celebrate one of their holidays?Probably not right? I wouldn't either. And why should they expect you to? You are not from their country nor do you share their culture or experience.
You might say "He wasn't talking about immigrants" (which is also what he said in this clip) but I think what ended his career is because he said the words "you people who come here" and no one would say "come here" if they were talking about natives. We all know he meant immigrants and now we all know he's bigoted and nationalistic.
@@matthiasschaus5112 Interesting you say that because I am Canadian and I live in Prague, Czech Republic. I actually took Cherries comments as reenforcment to show respect for the culture I live in. Immigrants in Canada can do as they wish, but I see nothing wrong with Cherry saying they should at least buy a poppy (re Free Speech). I think it's a good reminder for myself as well, since I can't say I've bought or even worn too many poppies in my life. Just cause I haven't done it much, doesn't I shouldn't, and there's nothing wrong with a reminder from someone like Cherry. To fire him for that. Utter nonsense.
@@seanhurley4003 I see what you're saying for sure. I am an American citizen and have lived in the middle east almost my entire life. However I still believe that saying "you people who come here" is divisive and instigates an us-and-them mentality. It's also disrespectful because he said "you people love our way of life and our milk and honey" which goes beyond just wanting people to buy a poppy and communicates a sense of anger and nonacceptance. For a country of immigrants this is not an acceptable way to speak for anyone. Since he didn't apologize I completely understand why he was fired. Also Canada doesn't believe in freedom of speech (see section 1 of the charter of rights and freedoms) but even if they did it would be totally fine for a news agency to decide someone is using hate speech and that he or she should be fired. That obviously wouldn't mean their freedom of speech would be jeopardized as they would have to face no legal fine or punishment.
I'm one of the silent majority that doesn't have twitter or facebook. But as a 23 yr veteran, I thank you for your service, and I served so people like you can voice your opinion freely.
Thank you for your service sir
Calling people racist for stuff like this is getting so old and overused. Nothing about what he said was racist; an immigrant isn’t limited to a specific race.
you people our honey our milk? her mom produces the milk?
NVKRailVideos it is about control. Freedom of speech is on its way out.
how exactly did he visually identify immigrants not wearing poppies then?
@@pcpolice2314 You're asking him to use logic..not applicable to Cherry apologists.
The majority of new immigrants to Canada are non-white. He may not have had racist intent, but his comments were hurtful toward primarily non-whites. Therefore it's reasonable to view his comments as racist.
The guy is right, every Canadian should wear a poppy to honor the soldiers that died for our freedoms.
While the liberals take those freedoms away. Yes. M103?!
How about we all give back to the natives who rightfully own this place and stop taking more and more of their land?
Does that make you Political correct?
@@darrenr1194,
lmfao...I love deadpan comedy.
gd1
Both my grandfathers were in wars and the military but I dont wear poppies. I find this all to be first world problems lol
Considering Trudeau's ridiculous "apologies", it's nice to see a Canadian who isn't afraid to say "sorry, not sorry."
Considering the police aren't doing anything anyway, you might aswell speak your mind because there is a lot wrong with Canada that needs improvement and wearing a poppy is one of those things.
@@lifeisactuallyveryboring.7771And what are the police supposed to do? Arrest people for not wearing a poppy?
She's just trying to get him to say what she wants him to say, bad journalism and interview tactics. Just let the man talk.
She'd be right at home on CNN or MSNBC!
He should start a CZcams channel and talk hockey I’d listen to it
Ya, he should. I completely agree.
Agreed
I don't watch hockey but sign me up. Respect for Mr Cherry.
A hockey podcast. Turn a negative into a positive. I'm sure the company people who folded from the fabricated outrage and fired Don would soon regret their decision. Would probably be the one of the biggest podcasts out there. Don's future is as bright as he chooses it to be.
Excellent idea!
I lived in the same neighborhood
as Don for 20 plus years.
He never treated immigrants any
differently there & believe me
everyone knew each other’s business.
I’m speaking only of the
“You people” situation.
This cancel culture, SJW era
is ridiculous.
I should finish with saying
I’m not exactly Don “fan”
but I understand there’s different
personality’s and their delivery
that clashes with mine.
That doesn’t mean I won’t stick
up for what’s right.
BILL MCCARTNEY
I really appreciate that.
I played hockey in HS & he would
playfully patronize me about it.
When he would walk Blue in BR park
I hollered “Hey Don whatcha think
of female HP?”
and he would flip me off🤣
He didn’t mean it literally so it was
fun sparing with him.
Him & his 1st wife Rose tolerated
us asking for autographs.
Not for us, but for friends, teachers etc.
Not once did he treat us differently
based off heritage.
He’s 85 years old.
People would lose their minds
about my elderly family saying
certain things.
It’s all ridiculous imho
@@ladeedaa1419 I live in the same neighborhood as well, i dont think i believe you buddy. What part of mississauga does he live in?
Jay I grew up on Portway.
U can quiz me all day.
I grew up there.
Things that aren’t found on google.
Why would anyone make
such a boring mundane story
Up?
Where did u live?
though I don't 100% agree with his opinion, I don't think he deserved to be fired over this. Sadly, I guess corporate? wants to save face and immediately sever ties with him. I understand his pov but he made it seem like only immigrants were doing this but in actuality a lot of Canadian born don't wear it as well. I do agree about the milk and honey part, Canada has done alot for immigrants, but I also believe that most generations after them contribute to society as well (there are some bad apples though).
@@ladeedaa1419 hahaha touché, I was half kidding. I'm down on shawanaga, ive seen Don walking his dog here and there. He's always been kind when I've encountered him, not that it should be surprising.
The reporter sounds like a first year journalism student on academic probation.
She kept repeating herself, you can tell he was getting really tired of it.
Youre fired! lol
I think that's his daughter....
This interviewer must have attended the Cathy Newman school of journalism.
and for 85 years young don is too sharp to fall for it.
We love you Don Cherry!!! you're a beautiful soul - don't ever change for no people!!!

Same loaded question trying to bait him into producing the video clip they wanted.

@@Quarthon if we can take any positives out of this maybe a few people will wake up and stop believe everything this propaganda machine tells them.

what was your problem with it?

Wow what an Amateur liberal interviewer . Come on global get your act together. Our prime minister has has done far worse things in firing our first women aboriginal cabinet minister . He’s late in his career , with all he has done he should get a medal .

This is what a “people kind” society looks like.
I support Don all the way. Man is a legend and a Canadian hockey icon.
You forgot HERO !
I couldn't believe when I seen that they fired him! I support Don as well, in no way did he say "new canadians " or "immigrants " he said "you people" never once mentioned race. I truly feel that some people need to quit blowing this out of proportion. The man to me is an icon,and coaches corner will not be the same with out him. Also really feel that Ron maclean could've and should've had his back a little more rather then throwing him under the bus.
Chas Ditter you forgot ...you people come here and mentioned toronto haha! you can be supportive but don’t act dumb. come here was the smoking gun. yes it may not be a big deal for some, but for a large corporation that do not share the same opinions, you cannot speak on sports nets behalf like that.....especially say something as controversial.
@@chasditter1783 he didn't say immigrants but he did say you people come here and enjoy way of our life, enjoy our milk and honey. So he was referring to immigrants but didn't say it out right. I like him too and I am sure he supports immigration and he doesn't hate anyone. It's just wrong words came out of his mouth like he said
Like when did imagrant automatically refer to native Americans and middle Eastern people? Imargrant is anybody that leaves their country to live in another.
Global News isn't sending their best interviewers.

Man here is the thing there was no malicious intent behind what he was saying, poorly said yes but he didn't mean bad
@@beans8474 what he said was 100% true. Truth isn't malicious
Doesn’t matter. CBC wanted him gone for many years. Don admitted that he made it easy for them. It had everything to do with $$$
Worst interviewer ever! Omg she needs to be fired ASAP. Painful to listen to.
LOL, Global did not send its best interviewer for this one.
They're all SJWs now anyway. No such thing as great journalists anymore.
Yes more dribble from whoever pushes this agenda
Shows how much respect they have for him
@@ALTDOK667 Pretty sure I was speaking for myself.
Don doesn’t deserve the best. She was horrible yes, but still too good for Don.
What a terrible interviewer she asked the same questions trying to spin it and make don look bad
yeah she was really digging for another viral soundbite. sickening.
what she really wanted was to hear Don say was "I am so sorry to all people who are not caucasian, I am sorry I hurt your feelings". "I threw away my black makeup" Satisfied.
She sure was. I wouldn't be so composed as he was.
She mistakingly thought she could take the Giant down. She was wrong. Real men don't back down when they know they're right.
@Stephan X "these types of comments" what he said wasn't even directed at any race so it cant be racist. And dudes a sports caster from the 70s weve all heard his older stuff. Besides do you honestly believe it's a fair and just society if you can be fired for having a political veiw if so I just cant wait till it's you getting thrown under the bus. You hate him becuse you were told to hate him get over yourself.
As an immigrant, this doesn't offend me at all. Don Cherry's right!
how many home grown Canadians Dont buy poppies? did he mention or ask the question
@@bg1326711 A lot do outside of Toronto. The smaller towns and cities, where you get a lot less immigrants also, u see poppy's everywhere. I seen this first hand.
I bet most of the people who took offense were Asians who don't want to integrate with Canada.
This interviewer needs to be fired. Terrible.. trying to bait the man into slipping out of context for a headline. Global news journalism at its finest.
Ok Boomer
Seriously Global. Very poorly prepared for this interview. For shame.
It was done purposely to make Don look like a no body.
@@lomparti and it failed miserably.
I'm a Canadian born in India and found nothing wrong with what he said or how he said it. I agree more people should pay their respects.
So donate other times of the year. Wearing a flower that cost you $2 for a week doesn't do much. That's why his comment really made no sense. What does the poppy have to do with anything do you see Americans and Germans wearing a poppy to remember. It's fine if you want to donate that way but it really doesn't make or break the donations made to vets.
Yes I'm aware of the poem in Flanders fields. But really its simply symbolic. Gays want a rainbow poppy some want Purple ones but really this is what people debate on these days?
@@thereal877 it's a tradition. Every country has their own. Respect it
@@clos6613 I'm Canadian what tradition is it? Explain what the poppy has to do with support for troops. Isn't that the purpose of remembrance day? What exactly does the poppy have to do with it. I was under the assumption that you wear the poppy if you choose to.
You ever see an episode of Seinfeld where they force Kramer to wear an aids ribbon because he was in the walk. That's what this is. It's a choice not an obligation.
@@thereal877 a sign of respect is what it is. Something that u know nothing about u ungrateful sapp
@@clos6613 a salute is a sign of respect. Poppies are a symbol of remembering the fallen. No need for name calling it's not my fault you're unable to understand what you're following.
Do you just follow others off a bridge? If not then understand Canada is not the place anyone has to be forced to buy anything. Hell give me a free poppy I'll wear it otherwise you're just putting money in the pockets of a manufacturer.
Where do poppies come from you think their free? You think a company just makes millions of poppies free? Do you live in the land of OZ or the real world.

Your right bro. Toronto is FILLED with ungrateful immigrants who have ZERO respect for this country. Sad he got fired for his comments. Anyone who watches him knows his commentary can be a bit odd.

He's a nationalist to a country of immigrants and he gets called a racist? He's proud of those who fought died and lived to provide a life for future generations.
She's trying to invent a controversy - and he saw right through her. Sharp 85yo man!!!
His shameless grin and sparkle in his eyes said it all. And even though he says he wishes he had said everybody, every time she asked a little more bigotry came through. He said "YOU PEOPLE who came here..." which is not synonymous with "everybody." How the hell would he know anyone without a poppy is Canadian, or FROM HERE or not? He doesn't, which is why it so easily slipped through. He embraces and relishes his bigotry, and if he talked like that in front of TV cameras, you damn well know he is a hundred times worse in person. He also said Scotch 4 times. The term is Scottish. How lazy is he to be so old and yet so damn dumb and thoughtless?
@@youniquelikeme : He spoke the truth and anyone with common sense knew what he meant. Anyone fresh off the boat is unlikely to wear a poppy. They do not care about history. They are just happy to escape whatever country they came from.
@@warrengauthier4699 Also I was born here and I don't care about what others do because in Canada you have freedom of expression. So if you don't accept that you're a commie rat.
@@youniquelikeme He's talking about the hundreds of thousands of immigrants that live in enclaves and don't acclimate to anything in Canadian culture except the benefits of the system. 1% of the population is added through immigration every year and most of them don't wear poppies to commemorate the people who died to create the country they're lucky enough to live in.
@@ericmanget4280 And again I ask, how the hell do you know they are not Canadian citizens??? I wonder...
Im good with what he said. Im an immigrant and i must admit i wore a poppy only once. After this i dont think he really mean to offend the minorities. Ok please put him back! I'll miss this guy!
thank you. And I'm canadian and I'm too cheap to buy and wear a poppy, but I fully support our troops. He's right though to call me out on it.
If he did offend a group, so what? Being free from being offended isn't a right in our country, at least not yet.
GOOD STUFF,HE TOLD THE TRUTH AND WE MUST SUPPORT TRUTH REGARDLESS OF THOSE OFFENDED BY IT !!!
@@moondawg3693 lmao Tell the internet what you think is "the truth"
Man, I wish more ppl were like you, not just looking for an excuse to get offended. Of course he's not racist. Sure his wording wasn't perfect, but his point was "buy a poppy cuz the money helps the veterans"..
This is the worst interviewer ever, she should be fired
She tried
He’s a definitely a legend. Certainly not a racist. He should start his own podcast on CZcams!
I am also an immigrant and agree with you 100%. Thank you for Don for the smack on the head to make me realize what true and important. I'm guilty and ashamed of not purchasing a poppy for many years. I went out to purchase one within minutes after seeing this story and will do so in the future. Thank you for making me remember how lucky I am to be part of this great country. People are to sensitive to hear the truth. P.S I am not a hockey fan, just a proud Canadian like yourself
All Canadians are immigrants. My family has been here for a long time but I often remind new Canadians that we all immigrated to Canada.
well said!
Bravo!.

I am an Immigrant from African and since I came to Canada 12 years ago I have watched Don on TV for those years and I stand by Don. People should have there views that's why we call Canada home. He has not insight any hate. In my point of view. Our officers died for us to be able to share their views. Just like Don has.
Harry Parhar - "Traitor" to what? Divisive identity politics? Or to the Canadian way of life that immigrants came for?
Ron was a coward the way he gave that apology. Threw his friend under the bus when he knew Don meant no ill
2019 in Canada and "Free Speech" will cost you your career. How progressive. This is the beginning of the end.
There’s a difference between free speech with no harm intended and dog whistling xenophobia
Oh, god I never thought about it like that jeez. Don is amazing I loved Coaches Corner. He did have a point, that people should be buying poppies to pay respect, but the way it came out was wrong. We also have to remember that this is an 85 year old man. He is getting to a point where, with old people that they begin to forget things like words, for example he was looking for words before he commented “You people”. You also need to remember that he was raised in a different era. Yes his words came out racist, yes he said those words when he shouldn’t have. I would like to think this is minor, a mere man but I forget that he said this to a million viewers... I would like to point out neither side was right. Yes people should buy poppies, yes his words were racist, yes he technically has the right of free speech, yes he insulted the veterans of different heritage,race, ethnicity. I don’t think he should be able to hide behind the status of elderly and he isn’t which makes me happy but he should be a little more cautious and mind himself. We should respect the point he tried to make and the point that it came out offensive and racist. Both sides are right and I think we should work towards both aspects of equality and respect.
If only he had said “Everybody” instead of “You People”. I loved Coaches Corner...
You can tell he's getting frustrated with the awful interview

There are many ways to show you’re respect for veterans, wearing a poppy is one of them
WW1 veterans are all dead. Canada doesn't have any veterans left worthy of respect, except a few WW2 veterans left
HighStreet Killers are you a veteran?
Ridiculous situation. Not the way this man should have been treated.
It should have happened ages ago
He's more of an instigator than a commentator
@T R Canadians born and raised in the city don't know vets and don't wear poppies which I've been told by a Canadian veteran who believes if white Canadians want "everyone" to purchase and wear a poppy they should be taught the history and be included socially before 'they' are ostracized for not buying a poppy because they contribute just as much. Should he have been fired? No, because everyone should be educated on the poppy, everyone should be educated on why his choice of words was uncalled for, his comments seemed racist because of the current space we are in (i.e. Trump and his blatantly racist base and actions). This should have been addressed and discussed publicly because it seems like he isn't racist and he claims he wasn't targeting non-white immigrants in his statement. I agree he shouldn't have been fired because it sets a bad precedent and people need to discuss things before they jump the gun and say: "he's racist, time to boycott" causing the network to panic and fire him. But it wrong to uneducated people on the history and expect them to blindly support what you want them to, and to do so forcefully.
Ardi Moro People like you make it look like racism makes sense
Global News must set a very low bar for their reporters.

I admire Mr. Cherry for defending what he said in the larger meaning of " Recognize our Canadian Tradition" . I recall as a kid in the 40's and 50's poppies handed to school kids and we learned the meaning of what it represented. Traditions NEED to be explained and Don tried to do that.
I'm proud of you Mr. Cherry. Keep your head up. People like me will always respect you.

At least Global allow comments unlike the coward CBC . They are three to one negative for CBC . People choose Don . You don't fire someone for such a simple two words when he was willing to use the words all people instead of you people. Global reporter you got what you wanted move on .
Yes surprising, as global too has proven to be a paid well to promote the nwo agenda as well.

Cause thats a bunch of women. Don is a man, Trudeau said himelf men are evil
" Looks like I'm going out on a high anyhow" - absolutely love this. Doubling down and defending is posistion. The "uproar" is totally absurd.
This guys a pro. He accurately dissected the events and assessed the situation for what it is. No hard feelings. This is why I loved Coaches Corner.
HNIC will never be the same without Grapes.
I agree. He handled it exactly the way I hope most people would, especially right-wingers! Very level headed and realistic. Anybody more leftist probably would have completely lost it and needed therapy and demanded compensation (or reparations or something) for the way they were treated. He was a class act, in my opinion. I suppose they could call the new segment "The Corner". Lol
Exactly! God forbid our sensitive, weak culture. God forbid a national legend says something outside of the government narrative
He clearly said he didn't want to apologize and now he's crying about how he 'wanted' to apologize.
@@eagle.the.6ix430 You missed the implication. From what I gathered, Sportsnet wanted him to apologize on their terms, not his. He's quite clear on the form of apology he would have been willing to make in this interview. Sportsnet no doubt wanted a foot kissing grovel like MacLean put out.

We need to call out the left for being the Racist ones, Saying all immigrants are one race is very racist for them to assume.
@@MindlessTube you can be simultaneously racist to multiple racist. Trying to push the right's racism onto the left is trite.
Don is xenophobic. There are many episodes of Coaches Corner that prove this.
@2WIREG Next time you see a legion member ask them about a rainbow poppy then.
@2WIREG Ha ha, same here. Mine always fall off too. For that reason I don't feel they're very environmentally friendly. Agree, just give a donation. Lot of reasons ppl don't wear poppys. He just assumed. And we all what happens when one assumes. Beside what kind of poppy was he wearing? It looked like it had sequins on it. I'll just assume he gave a donation, :)
Hope he gets a podcast or something. Coach's Corner was never long enough, especially when he would generously devote some of it to talking about a sick child, or injured or fallen solder, often with so much emotion you could feel it on the other side of the screen. He's one of a kind and I'd hate to think this is his end. He's got a lot more to give, and talk about.
I love this man with my soul
Podcast would be great and he would be allowed to say anything he want on the internet!!!
Joe Hoe You’re right. And there were epic battles between the Irish, Scottish, and English in Canada who I suspect is who you are talking about. I saw those screaming matches. It’s because they had a history of trying to wipe each other off the face of the earth. Pretty soon there will be battles of who vaccinated who into genetic oblivion across lines we are barely conscience of. When I was in Spain the hotel owners said the hatred of European tourists from different countries was rancid. Your story is no surprise. You have no acceptance for Don having cleverly ignored the many wonderful things he does. Seems to me you are boiling in the same pot.
Reporter is trying to get him to mess up. He said it clear as day what he meant and like before I sat and with Grapes.
His sidekick threw him under the bus after he was agreeing with him. The moment when you find out your "friend" is just waiting for his moment
Horrible reporter. She kept pushing dead end Q’s after he’d already answered. She’s not capable of handling well known people.
women for ya. they destroy everything we build for them.
Bob Nipko wow....sour much? I happen to be a woman. My ex is a really bad man but I don’t brush all men with the same brush. Maybe think about that....
@@theguardian1140 according to taoism, chaos is predominantly female, and order is predominantly male.
roamer45 bwahahaha well that helps us to not believe in that philosophy now then lol. Look at people’s homes - the men are the chaotic ones and the women are the organizers and clean ones lol. Thx for putting that into crystal clear perspective lol
@@theguardian1140 sigh, so hormonal and ignorant. Not to mention hypocritical, since you claim not to brush all men off, yet you state that they cause messes. Make up your mind.
It's sad a bunch of professional victims can unseat one of Canada's greatest.
Outrage culture will precipitate even greater division than the division it claims it's trying to avoid.
@Alex M I dont think people understand what free speech means. Its not a defense that allows you to say whatever you want.
Conservative party should kick out Andrew Scheer and pick Don Cherry as their leader.
Hey random person scrolling down the comments..
Have a wonderful day :)
Thanks!
lol
Every day that passes i realize that that I have nothing in common with modern society any more.
@Harry Parhar 🖕 you first
Harry Parhar do you realize the racism in your own tone? You are critiquing a guy who said “you people” but just told me to go back from where I came and jump off a bridge?? You make no sense and need help
I thought the same thing for a while but it's like don said the "majority are silent". Theres still a lot of normal ppl left in the world although it doesnt seem that way because the ppl who scream loudest get all the attention. If you remove yourself from media and just have convos with everyday ppl it become more obvious just how manufactured this outrage culture is. Stay positive !
Never respected you more don cherry. These MSM cowards trying to crucify you. Your a true hero.
We need more people like him that speak the truth and don't apologize for it
at 85 too
MSM?
Sometimes when you say “you people” it has the potential to sound racist. In this case I don’t believe Don meant it that way.
Really?
@Charles McCarron
"Were the Canadian soldiers that died in both wars of the same political bent as today's Canadian regime? I don't think so! "Potential to sound racist"? You don't say."
What do Canadian soldiers' political bent have anything to do with the discussion at hand? Yes, I agree that you don't think.
@Charles McCarron
"Politics has everything to do with it. They didn't fight and die to have their posterity socially engineered. In fact, exactly the opposite, that too is a clear form of tyranny, not freedom. Manipulation isn't freedom. If a government is taking your money and not working to improve your standard of living then taking that money is just plain theft. Any government can do that. If these soldiers had a choice and could see what their governments have done, half of them would have just stayed home!"
Sorry, you are not making much sense.
@Charles McCarron
"Then you're beyond reasoning and logic. Good luck to you and the country you're permitted to vote in :)"
The initial thread mentioned "you people" as racist.
You meandered into the subject of politics as if you have something of value to contribute to the initial thread. You euthanized your pet peeve even before it exited the gate.
You display a zany thought process that has no relevance to the subject at hand.
Good luck to you and the occupied country you are permitted to squat in.
Just curious about something....how did Don know that "those people not wearing poppies" were immigrants, I don't think I could ever look at a bunch of people and determine whether they were immigrants, or not; What do immigrants look like ?
.
Don should have his own independent tv show and run it during 1st intermission of HNIC and tank Sportsnet ratings
@Box Addict podcast live every Saturday night on CZcams!!!
@Harry Parhar Wear a poppy or gtfo immigrant
@Harry Parhar : You smell like curry.
“He buried me” I don’t think they are friends anymore
JN AQUARIUM MacLean has become a jellyfish
Ron MacLean just sat there while Don gave his talk. Then, Ron comes up with an apology.
Just because you’re used to sand box friendships, doesn’t mean Don is. He worked with the guy for over 30 years. They are brothers. Snowflake.
@@sandysexton6570 Ron nodded and gave a thumbs up and said "that's why we love you Don". if you want to be accurate.
@Richard Chookomolin How so specifically?
We're not allowed to comment on cbc youtube comments section.
wow she was starting to piss me off. good on don keeping his cool with that b
I know right! How many times do you want to ask him if he was sorry
Why does Don Cherry get fired but Justin Trudeau blackface get re-elected?
It's the immigrants, most if not all of them voted for him because he gives them everything, while he takes everything else from the rest of Canada.
False equivalence.
Why is it that the only people that are offended by the black face are the non immigrants lol . I haven’t met one person of colour who was actually offended by the black face lol .
So True, Well said.
It’s all screwed up isn,t it
Ron and Don's relationship be like: Top ten anime betrayals
Agree,.but it was not spontaneous,.this plan was put together months ago. They PLANNED to take down Don and Ron knew it,.he was part of the hit!!.Judas got the silver.
lol
@@joering4461 Ron has sat beside Don for years and worked with him. You obviously have never heard him talk. He's a good man and a good person and they both have done a lot for each others career and you heard Don. They are still friends. That wouldn't be the case if he set him up and he sure as hell wouldn't knowingly hurt people or the game. It's different when you go back and look at things after the fact.
People are going on and on that the Leafs should have beat the crap out of the Philly player after Marner got hurt. Easy to say when you can look at the replay and slow motion. Nobody, even Marner knew what happened and you can tell because the trainer is looking at Marner funny like, "what happened?" is going through his mind. Obviously it's a totally different situation but the point is from both Ron and Don's perspective they didn't know how it came across until after it aired. That's why Don said he should have said everyone instead of you people. It shouldn't have been about immigrants but people who don't support vets.
😭 weak af rn
JOE RING ahhahaha
You people need to leave this man alone. Ya I said it TADA. Sorry not racist.
ok white
Don is going out with his head held high.If I am still working at 85 and loving my job I would be proud of that as we are proud of you Don.
Cheers ! My glass is held up to you!
Don is "The Man".
That's true. We never acknowledge the positive actions he did
Now I only see him as a old fart 💨 nothing more but a grumpy self righteous full of himself bigot.. that’s just my opinion in a free speech society.. anybody with me please like or tell me to go to hell
Amit Rathore I’m so sorry my friend, I disagree. We all need to make a great point for our vets. He was just really upset that lot of us have forgotten our soldiers. We all know about the wars so we all should acknowledge. we all make mistakes in life, we all deserve a second chance. Thanks so much for your freedom of speech Amit🙂 God Bless ya
Colin Fair yes I agree to some point but he comes out a bit angry on something that is unfounded and unknown..I am not trying to be a hero or take credit but only Indians that died in both world wars were 74,187 and they died cause it was everyone’s war but to say “you people “on such a platform is hurting.. well he will be remembered as great hockey commentator but at the same time if you cannot keep your emotions in check especially if it’s not sports then it’s time to retire and enjoy the rest of your remaining life anyways I am very thankful for you to put this in such nice words which I appreciate.. we need more people like you thanks Colin Fair
I think we're looking into this a lil too much. He said what he said and it came out slightly wrong. Has anyone been perfect in the way they've expressed themselves?
As a black Canadian, what he said did not hurt me at all or made me feel less Canadian because I don't need the approval of immigrant whites to confirm my Canadianess. It seems like white Canadians are more offended about this than anyone else (same as Trudeau's BROWN face). This is just another case of social stoning from those who see's themselves as holier than thou
mass I understand your point of view but such bigotry on such a platform is not a good thing.. when a person of such stature says foolish things then you can’t really expect better from the young.. you and I are not sensitive but it’s all about examples.. will you be able to tell a young individual in your family hey “you people come here eat our milk and honey “all that nonsense..please don’t sell yourself to this kind of stupidity makes you look like you need an approval or something.. put your foot down and say when someone on sports channel berates nonsense.. sports bring in competition and fair play this is pure anger against a group.. I tried my best but I am sure you won’t get it right away..
He said a lot over the decades.
Social media prays on headlines.
Grapes gives his thoughts even if you disagree.
Facts don't care about your feelings. Call it as it is now a days and the snowflakes cry.
Wrongfully accused I feel I think it was important to say because I have talked to my Muslim friends they agree with him
I read once that you shouldn’t hide how you feel. Why because it may be a hard short road but on the long road people will see you as a stand up person respect you for speaking you honest thoughts
Don Mclain as usual surrendered as the coward he is. Don Cherry said nothing that was inaccurate.
Never saw him dressed for orange shirt day..ohhh those were kids!!!!
Where did this interviewer come from? Mars 😂🤣😅
when a door closes another one opens don dw bud
As an Canadian Asian man i wear my poppy every year for Remembrance day out of respect for veterans. I wish more Asians would wear it...
So he is totally right...
He isn't right though. Plenty of white people don't wear them and many minorities do, and fought in battle. I bet even Grapes wishes he took this as a chance to educate instead.
@@jeremymacdonald5584 when did he say white ppl? Are all immigrants or new ppl to the country coloured people?
Jeremy MacDonald - I agree! Cherry had a great opportunity to educate others and encourage support for the veterans. Instead he took the opportunity to allow his own prejudices to seep through
@@jeremymacdonald5584 who said anything about people's colour?? Are you trying to imply that all immigrants are coloured? His point was "even if you're a new immigrant, ppl died to defend what you now enjoy".. That doesnt seem wrong to me.
the people that got him fired probably dont even watch hockey...that is the rub folks!
Bruh Really no he couldn’t have predicted that ppl would hate his support for veterans
Bruh Really stfu buddy lol
@Bruh Really he literally said nothing wrong...you people isn't a racist statement...and he was 100% correct about what he said too so it really just shows what is wrong with nowadays.
@@kamerontoews5737 support for veterans, hate for immigrants, coma si coma sa
Conversely the people that support him don't care either they are just racists defending their own.
I love Don. A teue hockey legend. Going down in history for sticking up for whats right, absolutely wonderful.
I am a Scottish Immigrant and I did not have a poppy on until I was at the Jets game. Thanks for reminder Don. I look forward to watching you again when you land back on your feet.
They wanted you out Don. They have already started the 'white privilege of hockey'. It's an attack on Canadian culture. We need you more than ever Don. Go independant. Youll get the support.
I'll almost guarantee it was a non immigrant who complaint. I haven't heard one black or brown person say anything about this.
@@Bodybypt same. I think it was inner politics 🤷🏻♀️
it's not just an attack on our culture, it's an attack on our ethnicity as a whole, they are explicitly saying they want White Canadians removed from society as they ship in millions of non-White immigrants to replace us in our own country.
@say it aint so You're just scared Whites consciously pursuing their own interests because you're worried you won't be able to compete.
@say it aint so "I have White friends" is a typical cover anti-Whites try to use to hide their bigotry.
At least now I know that if my career fails I can always be a interviewer for Global.
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂👌
Lmao
Ron is a disgrace. Canada loves you Don!!!!
I see nothing wrong with his comment. He did not single out one group of people.
Thxs. "Don Cherry," You We're The Best Of The Best!
Are
Let me say this: I am one of the "you people" and I support Don 100%!
Gather up all the you people and start a campaign to bring him back.
Likewise here
Me too. Those who did not buy poppies ought to be ashamed of themselves.
I think those who support Don should boycott Coaches' Corner and see what CBC will do
Say what u want. Truth hurts. And apologize for what? What a joke this country.
"I should have said everybody ... and if I had to do over again, I would have said 'everybody'. I was ready to apologize ... saying I was wrong. It could have been smoothed over pretty good." [Don Cherry]
Don came dangerously close to apologizing here. He admitted he was wrong. He showed regret and a willingness to apologize. So close, Don ... just two more words and you're there ....
There goes freedom of speech. Now every commentator is going to have to be always totally politically correct to keep his job?
Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences of what you say....
That being said, I still don't think what he said was wrong enough to get him fired..
That doesn't apply to a job at a private company, he can say whatever he wants and not be jailed or fined for it though.
This is Canada... We don't have freedom of speech.
You people....the morons NOT wearing a poppy. Nice of outrage culture and lib media to spin this.
Must have been a very slow week in Canada that this is the top story.
terrible interviewer, I feel she kept asking him questions he already answered. And she seems to try to get him to apologize in some way.
Here's the low down people. Canada is almost a trillion dollars in debt. Out of 37 million people, only 19 million are paying the way for the rest. That debt amounts to almost $53,000 per worker, not including there own debt. If people come here for our milk and honey and don't better themselves to go it on their own, that debt will only increase until we can't afford it. Then what? All because we're such a generous place to take money from without having to do anything whatsoever, to earn it. Then our leaders find creative ways to tax us even more. Carbon tax, storm water roof run off surcharge, etc. etc. etc. It has to stop.
Horrible interviewer, she should be right behind my poor ol Buddy Don in the unemployment line!
