Nobody give a sh.. When he says that the leafs got too many euro players and that they wont win a cup cause the euros players are too soft compared to NA players but everyone lose their mind when he calls out what he sees in his area and that he ask them to support the army veterans. Was it necessary from cherry to bring this up during a hockey broadcast? No. But also it makes people talk about it and bring even more attention to the memorial day which in a way is good.

he's gotta be done now, he's said shit like this for years but the tolerance for it is waning.


I buy a few poppy's every year but i hardly ever have one on, i lose them all the time, leave them in one shirt and change it. w/e some people also just werent raised with it as a important tradition.

This is a piss poor way to judge people lol

I respect his patriotism.

Clearly he is proud to be Canadian and loves his country.

I like how he supports sick kids and wants to honor military families.


As others have said though... When you start with the "You people" rant chances are it is deliberately meant to target a specific group, or in the very least, it will be seen as targeting a specific group.



Nobody should be surprised by this though....

Whether those comments were meant to be an attack on recent immigrants is irrelevant.


Don has been racist since he began commentating. He famously stated the 'Russians are nothing' and talked about how superior Canadians were to them.

He frequently trashes European players as being too soft. He accused Pavel Bure of holding out his contract during the Stanley cup finals because it was clear he hated him because he was Russian.

He only features highlight packs of Canadian or American players when he showcases their grit. Yet he leaves out equally gritty European or Russian players deliberately because he wants to believe that North American hockey is superior and those coming from other nations are inferior.'


I have no doubt in my mind this guy is hateful bigot.
