With Don Cherry’s Fox News appearance, a national reckoning descends into embarrassing farce Globe_Sports

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.Tucker Carlson TonightThe Fox News host didn’t seem to know who Cherry was . Cherry seemed to have little understanding of why he was there.

Instead, the two men talked by, over and around each other. It was a nice metaphor for current cross-border understanding. MacLean loses. It’s possible he wasn’t even listening to Cherry as he wandered into a field of rhetorical bear traps. I mean, after 30-odd years of that blather, would you? But that thumbs-up at the end has brought MacLean low. He’ll spend the rest of his career being asked about it.

If I roll up to you in an airport departure lounge this morning and say, “Don Cherry, eh?”, within 30 seconds I will be able to take a good guess at who you vote for, what kind of work you do and whether you live in a hockey or non-hockey region.

Globe_Sports All set for becoming federal conservative leader 😉

Globe_Sports Shame on Don!!!!!

Globe_Sports The only embarrassing farce is Don Cherry!

Globe_Sports Can we just move on?

Globe_Sports I kinda hope he was just blowing smoke about Orr loving Tucker. Made me sad

Globe_Sports Yup

Globe_Sports So disgusted - to see DonCherry has joined American fascist and white nationalist mouthpiece, TuckerCarlson of FoxNews, in trying to justify his hurtful and intolerant comments on Sportsnet. NHL

Globe_Sports Kelly’s last paragraph says it all. 😐👍

Globe_Sports The liberal media farce continues..

Globe_Sports It would have been much better if he had gone quietly but that's not Don. He just has to double down and make a bigger fool of himself.

Globe_Sports This guy ran straight to Fox News. Wow.

Globe_Sports Lol. Gotta be some actual news to report

Globe_Sports Overblown farce:This is simply an HR story in a broadcasting workplace. Charter case law specifies that owners of media should self-censure themselves (Codes of Conduct) and can apply it to all of their employees. Even if Cherry was an owner, he is still subject to limitation.

Globe_Sports First Trudeau and now Cherry about to embarrass Canada on the world stage

Globe_Sports He is a farce... too old to have significance... set him free👍

Globe_Sports Descends? Fair to say Coach has in all living memory been an embarrassing farce with his buffoonery meets tough guy shtick (on its own) let alone taking hacks at Francophones, soft Europeans, and anybody opposing fighting in hockey.

Globe_Sports Oh FFS.

Globe_Sports Oh please tell us what media outlets you deem worthy 🙄

Globe_Sports Majority not in favor. He should have the guts to apologise...a real man would.

Globe_Sports The fact that he decided to go on Fox News, the propaganda machine of a white supremacy based WH, is enough. Cherry has now moved into “he’s a clown” territory. Just shows us in Canada that some in this country aren’t any different than their racist counterparts in the US. Sad

Globe_Sports Liberals are very embarrassing.

Globe_Sports esp since we have a racist pig as a prime minister, let me refresh the full blackbody video of justin

Globe_Sports Immigrants have no specific race. 'those people' (the Irish Republican enemies of the empire and all things sweet kind and decent say) over at the Globe and Mail know that.

Globe_Sports The left is angry because Tucker called all the people who are crying fake outrage over this 'fascists' which is exactly what they are. The left has a real hard time facing the truth these days.

Globe_Sports This is excellent

Globe_Sports Well the leftist MSM in Canada certainly wasn’t going to interview him (cowards). So Good on you Don. Hockey will always be Canada’s Sport! Always! No matter who tries to take it away, they better fight fucking hard.

Globe_Sports No body outside of Canada knows who Don Cherry is our Cares!!

Globe_Sports Please stop giving this racist attention. ForgetDonCherryExists

Globe_Sports The real Cherry dropped his pants today. Down to Fox News and Tucker to whine about being misunderstood. Goodbye Cherry.

Globe_Sports Left wing media is the farce

Globe_Sports When we are in a a position where media is attacking other media outlets, PM’s try to influence what the press reports with tax bribes, we are entering a very dangerous time for democracy. The press and left wing governments have taken us down a dark road that squashes freedom..

Globe_Sports Doesn't Fox have better ratings than you? Looks like you are the embarassment 🤣

Globe_Sports Did this article actually make sense to anybody?

Globe_Sports Nice spin... The farce is on a so far based on an as yet unquantified 'large number' of complaints to an organization who runs stats on a laptop doubling as a server. So do go on.... DonCherryIsRight onpoli abpoli skpoli tmltalk habs canucks

Globe_Sports Diversity of opinion is no longer valued in Canada ...msm has inserted itself whole hog into political debate - and we know which side they favor

Globe_Sports Hey FU and FireJessAllen

Globe_Sports they can have him. he's soiled now

Globe_Sports Why cant he go on Fox lol he went on CBC, CTV and numerous other outlets. This is a joke

Globe_Sports Bye Don.

I regret his racism didn’t result in his firing a decade ago. The guy tells the truth , Yet the fucking snow flakes get their way of course. Absolutely disgusting
