it's 2019. The rules have changed, and they haven't just changed for Don Cherry. 99.9 percent of people making those comments on air would have been fired without anybody batting an eye, but because it's Don Cherry, some people will even go ahead and blame Sportsnet ... okay then.
this whole thing has been fascinating to watch. In a nutshell, Canada is viewed as a polite and diverse country over here - basically the exact opposite of Don Cherry making divisive comments on primetime television and doubling-down on them, and, maybe even worse, people trying to bend over backwards to somehow defend him.
I value this community on here highly, but colour me surprised and, frankly, a bit taken aback by the poll results and some of the attempts to vindicate him in this thread. Feel free to hammer me for this.
