Because people shouldn’t be forced to think one way or the other. Cherry shouldn’t have to apologize for anything either, and I’m glad he didn’t. He shouldn’t be shamed into apologizing if that’s how he really feels.
I don’t agree with Don but I am very staunchly against firing people because of a poor choice of words. He didn’t drop an N bomb or single out any specific group based on anything other than “new Canadians”, which is a very broad term. I feel like people are making some assumptions here, rightly or wrongly, but they’re still just assumptions.
Again, don’t think what he said was right, but I will defend the fact that he shouldn’t be fired over this.
Sportsnet is weak and I will not watch another Hockey Night in Canada broadcast as long as it is on their network.
