Leaf sports pundit gets ok boomer’d.

Don Cherry was the co-host of Coach's Corner, a segment on the popular TV show Hockey Night In Canada. A former Boston Bruins coach, he's known across Canada for his 33-season run, flamboyant suits and colourful commentary, and is officially The Seventh-Greatest CanadianTM. However, it was this latter quality that has gotten him into trouble numerous times, culminating with the incident today.

November 11 is officially Remembrance Day in Canada, which is pretty much Veteran's Day. A long-running tradition on Remembrance Day in Canada and other Commonwealth countries is to wear a red poppy to commemorate veterans. During the Saturday broadcast of Coach's Corner, Cherry felt that not enough immigrants in Toronto were wearing red poppies, and proceeded to air his grievances...

You people … 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.

This resulted in Sportsnet issuing a statement today announcing that he had been fired for his remarks, officially ending his 3-decade run. Drama ensued.

  1. “Yes @CoachsCornerDC has been fired by @Sportsnet - story soon. Including an interview with Don Cherry who is quite hurt they would do this on Remembrance Day of all days.”

I need people to stop banning my lolis. That's all I need! Just let me be with my drawings. Let me enjoy cute happy anime lolis that are so full of love and affection. That let me forget about this horrible world and the shitty people in it. Is that so hard to ask for? Why are people so fucking hell bent on banning lolis? What do they or society gain? I don't like scary slasher movies about people murdering people(illegal BTW). But I don't call for them to be banned nor insult those that enjoy them. One of the few things in life that makes me happy. Little glimmers of joy in my shit life and they fucking ban it because they want to make an extra buck fron ad investors.

Maybe there's a reason why people want these pure, perfect maidens? Could it be that the real world is filled with darwinistic people? Filled with murder, drugs, deasise, genocide, virtue signalling, inequality, false politicians, false ronance, bullies, ect. Where everyone is out to push eachother down to get on top? Yea, no wonder people are so eager to want something better.

Is it really difficult for people to mind their own business? If you don't harm anyone, why ban it?

You know. What about GTA that glorifies crime and actually hurts people in the real world with predatory microtransactions? What about rape fantasies? What about guro? What about furry porn? What if she's canonlly legal age? What about girls that look mature but are underage(Ikkitousen, HSoTD)? What about all that incest porn on pornhub? That's illegal IRL but no one is harping to ban that. What about r/trees? A sub dedicated to glorifying marijuana but one problem...weed has been and still is illegal and classified as a class1 drug in the US. Or the sub that literally shows real kids being killed. Or all those propaganda and ad shilling? But no one bans that!

BUT BAN THE LOLIS!!!!!

IF. PEOPLE. JUST. STOPPED. BANNING. LOLIS. I'LL. BE. HAPPY

Naive burger question: Why don't the Indians just point out that they fought in that war too? Or is that a bad thing now?

Why are Canadians okay with blowing up airliners and random Japanese baggage handlers, but some geezer who spergs out on tv is the only one who deserves punishment?

This is your standard white people being offended on behalf of minorities.

There's a whole narrative constructed to narrow down Don's statement to target "most vulnerable" segment of the society and then, well, you're done. Even tho the guy is known to be get off my lawn and hates Swedes and Russians openly. He's almost a caricature by now and kind of like, crazy uncle who says demented shit. However, oversocialized people are more stringent in their social judgement than Nazis or Bolsheviks could ever be.

Multiculturalism means every culture has same value and quality and therefore, equity is the same.

Since his words come from the place of cultural supremacy, in order for the society ini Canada to function "properly", every aspect of Canadian culture is deemed colonialist and therefore needs to be dismantled.
