Living in Russia, and I always liked to watch Coaches Corner. Don loves hockey, he is sincere and honest about it. I didn't always agreed with him, but I didn't have to. His show was damn entertaining. Yeah, he is harsh on outsiders (which I personally don't mind), but he loves Canada. And, what, he was cancelled because loving his country is suddenly a bad thing? WTF? Also it was always funny, how Don butchered players names, like Lucic or Bieksa. Man, his show was a jewel. A diamond. A gold bar. I miss him. You all miss him too.

Pretty fucking hurtful when you and your family are "outsiders". A simple search will show you hes had a long history of racism and ignorant stances. Its not an excuse anymore to have grown up in a "different time". The thing people dont udnerstand is just because youre not bothered by something doesnt mean others arent. By letting someone like that continue on the air and give them a voice means you condone that behavior and that way of thinking is okay. Call me sensative, call me a "liberal", call me whatever. You have a problem with the way others live their life, you have a problem with the mindset that some people dont belong because of their colour, creed, religion, place of birth or sexual orientation, youre not someone who should be given a voice.

As an Asian hockey fan that was born and raised in Canada I have mixed feelings about Don Cherry. I love his personality, his patriotism, and his love for hockey. At the same time I can't help but think about his xenophobic remarks because it always reminds me that hockey isn't for everyone. I wear a poppy every year, I do the exact same things that "Canadians" are supposed to do because this is the culture I grew up in. But the sad reality is that i'll never experience the feeling of belonging to this country or to the game of hockey because there are people like Don Cherry always there to show how they're superior to me in every way. I understand he doesn't like immigration, whatever, but you have to accept the people that are already here. Disregarding people based on their ethnic background is just something I can't and will never understand. White people are also children of immigrants that came to an unknown land and made their living following the same culture they came with. With that being said, I do agree that the reason Don got fired was stupid compared to everything else he has said in the past. I still like Don Cherry and I miss Coach's Corner every Saturday. I ask people to just take 2 minutes and reflect on their views of other cultures, and ask themselves why they think the way they do.

Hi

More Don cherry!!! Grapes is the best!!!

All Don had to do was not single out immigrants for not wearing poppies. He didn’t get fired for saying “you people”, he wasn’t fired for saying support the military, he got fired for saying “all you people who come here”. If he had just said “whether you were born here or came here yesterday, wear a poppy!” he would’ve been just fine. Now, they were definitely looking for a reason to let him go, the game had passed him by and his commentary had kind of been reduced to “look at this” and “good boy from _____”. But still, all he had to do was not single out immigrants and he couldn’t do that.

I mean, all Don had to do was *not* whine specifically about people who come from different countries/cultures wearing or not wearing a poppy. Easy. He could have said that he felt like "EVERYONE should wear a poppy." Or he could have said nothing. But he put his foot in his mouth in the age of the internet, when if you're a public figure, everything you say goes around the world twice within minutes of you saying it.
