I'm missing what his commentary had to do with hockey or coaching. He's a confused fossil who forgot the room he was speaking to at least one too many times, he was no longer dependable to his employer to grow or at least maintain the audience for his content. He thought he was taking aim at a safe target, but it's no longer the '50s and the number of people who would agree with him has diminished as they've died off. Anyway, nobody likes a self-righteous chickenhawk.
I was surprised about the whole thing.
It’s Don Cherry. Were they not aware of what he is like? He says stupid things all the time. We expect this kind of thing from him. You don’t hire Don Cherry in the first place if you are not okay with this.
The man is a loudmouth. It is known.
The guy says controversial stuff every single year . Sports net was probably just looking for any pathetic excuse to fire him so they could gain more notoriety amongst snowflake people. They couldn't afford to lose any of their already low ratings fanbase. They really couldn't care less about something he said.

But never served, himself. What a tough guy.
So what happens to his sports jackets?
I think they might fit me and cover my big fatt ass..
Saying 'you people' is what got him fired.
Canada is very politically correct and passive.
I understand how some might take exception to what he said.
Let's not forget our right to free speech.
Don Cherry is ok in my books.
Canadians need to liberate Crimea from Russia in favor of Ukraine. I’ll watch from here.

Move over "Slapshot"
This Could become a great hockey-themed screenplay, then a movie. Hmmm, who could we get ??

Canadian military and police are very near the fighting in Crimea on a mission to train Ukrainian military and police.
Canada sends military aid to Ukraine.
What needs to happen is putin needs to be taken out.
Russia with putin is a dictatorship. No future there.
A new leader needs to emerge in Russia and recognize the harm this war has caused.
Or the 'green men' come to their senses and stop listening to putin. By 'green men' I assume you know I'm referring to the Russian military in Crimea that doesn't wear the Russian flag on their camo.
A revolution or military uprising to overthrow putin needs to occur.
He's a fascist jerk.
Demanding people do as he tells them and think like he does.

Canada should support Russia . Ukraine and Poland are a drain on Canadian tax payer . Canadian military should stop raping women recruits , same with the RCMP.

This, if he wants to wear one and make a contribution to the fund fine but he shouldn’t be ramming it down anyone else’s throat.
He should walk into a few Irish bars in Canada and see how well his demands are received.
The old bigoted fart should have been fired by anyone with eyes years ago. He is a clown. Who makes his tacky ass suits?
Bye old racist

They didn't even vote out blackface Trudeau,
Trudeau was brown-face and nobody cares because brown face doesn't carry the same historical context in Canada as blackface does in your "great" country.
The media is blacking out the comments from Canadians which are nearly 98% for Cherry. People are pretty pissed, and realize that the media is wackopinko.
CBC fires Cherry, in an effort to be politically correct, however, in their echo chamber, they failed to realize that almost all Canadians are appalled, immigrants and non-immigrants alike - do not support the firing. Immigrants moved to Canada for things like Free Speech, and they're getting chills to the bone, knowing that if Don can be taken down, they can too, so very, very easily. This is not the Canada they wished to immigrate to. The CBC will back off on this seeing how bad the public reaction is, that the CBC does not represent any segment of the population (any real percentage), but this gross problem remains. EVERYONE is fed up with these people in charge that don't represent anything but a minute fringe, and a deviant fringe at that. This might be Don Cherry's finest day, exposing blatantly governmental forces that have nothing what so ever to do with the will of the Canadian people. As we go to press, the mainstream media echos the CBC vantage point, in Orwellian lock step, again completely out of alignment with the populace

canadians don't believe so much in politiclly correctness, but they follow along anyway.
the adhere to the system not out of belief in it, so much as they don't want to get fired, for the government
social media and corporate entities have them scared sheitless.
don cherry is backed by almost everybody, including most immigrants, who came to canada, for things like free speech,
immigrants are pretty upset, and creeped out,
the politically correct agenda, ironically is set by a bunch of white guys, which shares nothing with the general public.
nothing.
it's all made up horsesheit.

What about free choice? The freedom to choose what political symbols you wear and what political funds you wish to contribute to.
Cherry was free to say it, but equally the network are free to tell to pack his stuff kindly f*ck off, they did.
