Known for his often outrageous suits and opinions, Cherry had been doing segments during popular hockeycast’s first-period intermission since 1981.appearance over the weekend, Cherry noted how he was not seeing certain people in Canada wearing the customary remembrance poppies on their lapels in the leadup to Armistice Day.
“You people … you love our way of life, you love our milk and honey, at least you can pay a couple bucks for a poppy or something like that,” Cherry said during his segment Saturday night. “These guys paid for your way of life that you enjoy in Canada; these guys paid the biggest price.”, the 85-year-old Cherry refused to amend or walk back his statements, telling the paper, “I have had my say.”“Sports brings people together – it unites us, not divides us.
“Don is synonymous with hockey and has played an integral role in growing the game over the past 40 years. We would like to thank Don for his contributions to hockey and sports broadcasting in Canada.”
Yup.
Give me a F'ing break Canada.
That collar seems enough reason.
Fired cuz he's telling immigrant to buy poppies on remembrance day.
Stupid
He’s correct tho
Truth gets you fired nowadays.
The current state of the left.
Despicable that they fired him!!
PC is killing us all. That’s the number 1 reason I love realDonaldTrump. He never tells us how to or when to anything. Don Cherry is an icon. As a Pens fan I really I didn’t really even like him or things he said about Mario. I just changed channels.

Hes 100% correct. PC Culture and outrage mobs led by the Progressives needs a full stop. The clown show continues in Hollywood, and abroad.
Fire him? They should give him a damn raise. He's right.
Sue!
Should’ve just put on blackface like Trudeau
Too much PC...over reaction
Maybe the Nhl will give him a job.
He's right. Have respect or remembrance for those who sacrificed everything for our free & happy life is not an unreasonable request. Firing him is unreasonable.
Total bullshit!
Wow quite harsh don't ya think? Asking people to shell out a couple bucks for a poppy to show support for men/women who gave their LIVES Wow this is crazy.
He asked people to show some respect for veterans on Remembrance Day. Most people think that is a reasonable opinion. He seems to be slagging on people in inner city Toronto, which may be actually a fair assessment.
“Those who are determined to be ‘offended’ will discover a provocation somewhere. We cannot possibly adjust enough to please the fanatics, and it’s degrading to make the attempt.” — Christopher Hitchens. Suck it up, Canada!
He should have been promoted
If only he was more liberal he could have said it wearing blackface and no one would have cared.
Don Cherry speaks the truth = Fired Justin Trudeau wears blackface multiple times = Still got a job
Time to cancel everything Rogers
How is his comments about immigrants? It's about people who weren't honoring Canadian veterans on Armistice Day.
Welcome to Socialism Night in Canadastan.
Does deadline even know who Don Cherry is?
he's been spewing racist bile on HNIC for decades. about time he was fired. a national Embarrassment
Sad.
Good
Ridiculous. Justin Trudeau can wear black face multiple times but Don Cherry speaks the truth and is fired. Hypocrites in Canada.
His collar/tie mismatch is horrendous and fireable enough.
