You'd think that people who just elected a PM who wore Blackface could allow a legend like Grapes to apologize and stay on air instead of canceling him like giant pussies.

I guess it was OK when Grapes would rip on Russians.

What did he do?

He said immigrants should wear poppies. Apparently that made people butthurt.

just watched it..he didn't do shit, he didn't even say 'immigrants' he just said 'you people'.

denied. cherry hasn't had a relevant thought in 20 years.

ignore his social commentary. his hockey commentary useless

The blue checkmarks celebrating his firing are the same burritos who want to take fighting out of hockey.

Looking for an excuse to get rid of the old coot. It takes a little effort to twist this into a racist rant:

Fine, but to fire him over this? It's just fucking bullshit from burritos who want fighting out of hockey.

GTAers have a festish for being multi-cultural. Only a matter of time.

#SticktoSports

These same people screaming the loudest went into the voting booth last month to elect someone who wore blackface on multiple occasions. You'd think they could let Grapes slide on account of being a living legend.

Denied. Opens the door for BizNasty to come in and take over. #SpittinChiclets

Don Cherry has done too much for the game to be kicked out the door like this. They were gunning for him all summer, anyway. Cheapskates and cowards hiding behind wokeness.

Grapes deserved better. You know he's one of those people who will probably die a month after this.

John Hymen of CBS Sports confirms.

I don't think there's anything really wrong with what he said. Remembrance Day seems to be very important in Canada, and cultural demands are a two-way street.

Rogers inherited Cherry from the CBC in 2014 (Sportsnet has produced Hockey Night for the CBC since) and was never terribly interested in having him or Ron MacLean there. They cut Coach's Corner's runtime down to almost nothing and took Ron off pre, post, and second intermission, then Don started calling them out for cutting his time and Ron's replacement was a huge bust. Then over the summer it seemed like Cherry and Rogers were at an impasse and were going to let him go and at the last minute they came to an agreement. This is just cover for them to do what they wanted to do four or five months ago, but woke. I think what says it all is that the public broadcaster dealt with his shit for years and years, but it was the private sector that sold him out the first chance they got.

They are calling for his head too because he didn't condemn Grapes right then and there on the air Saturday night. Just a bunch of burritos north of the border.
