Longtime Canadian hockey commentator Don Cherry was fired on Monday, two days after making on-air comments that many believed disparaged immigrants.
“I live in Mississauga ,” he said on the air. “Very few people wear the poppy. Downtown Toronto, forget it. Nobody wears the poppy. ... Now you go to the small cities. You people ... that come here, whatever it is — 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. These guys paid for your way of life that you enjoy in Canada. These guys paid the biggest price for that.
Foligno drew a five-minute charging penalty and a game misconduct for the hit. He left his skates near center ice as Bellemare approached and drove his left elbow into the opponent’s face.
Let me fix that: '... fired over long term, consistent racism.'

Did she call Trudeau a snowflake?
Cherry was a hero to most but he never meant shit to me…
'Divisive' speech is the new thought crime.🤣 You can't even peg his rant as 'racist'. This action boggles the mind. The unintended consequences of this insane shift in social consciousness will be felt for years to come.
He's no icon to Canadiand if he's racist. This man is a disaster. Hockey has improved now that he's gone.
