He was openly discriminatory to French Canadians, Europeans, Russians and women before these comments were made.

His behavior was allowed to continue for decades with no intervention.

What he said recently was tame by his standards. He has done much worse in the past and was allowed to continue.



That is why I am surprised. He said so much shit over his career I thought he was untouchable.

Here is Don Cherry's response to being fired, I support Don Cherry.
Quote

“I have just learned I’ve been fired by Sportsnet for comments made on Coach’s Corner Nov. 9,” Cherry told Warmington. “No problem.”

“I know what I said and I meant it. Everybody in Canada should wear a poppy to honour our fallen soldiers.”

“I speak the truth and I walk the walk,” he said. “I have visited the bases of the troops, been to Afghanistan with our brave soldiers at Christmas, been to cemeteries of our fallen around the world and honoured our fallen troops on Coach’s Corner.”

“To keep my job, I cannot be turned into a tamed robot,” said Cherry." I would have liked to continue doing Coach’s Corner. The problem is if I have to watch everything I say, it isn’t Coach’s Corner.”

“I want to thank everyone who has watched Coach’s Corner over the last 35 years,” he said.

His final message.

“Remember to wear your poppy to honour our fallen soldiers … Thumbs up.”

He seems to be missing the point though. He was fired not because he told canadians to wear a poppy, it's because he said it in a xenophobic way by singling out immigrants.

And anyway, it was long overdue.

He's always said " you people" whether hes talking about people complaining about hits or non hockey related ect...

He isnt wrong. You people just cant handle the truth given to you straight up. Yall need it sugar coated so your feelings dont get hurt

Have your heard/read the exact quote ?

Here it is : "You people ... that come here, whatever it is, you love our way of life, you love our milk and honey" etc.. Pretty clear he's talking about immigrants.
