I would have been too scared to fire him. I mean, he probably made friends with lots of veterans and their families, just imagine when they come to stand beside the guy who stood beside them for so long.

Don Cherry is a hockey guy. He is not political Americans always seem to have to categorize everyone and everything into a political camp of "left or "right." Believe it, or not there are people of differing viewpoints who are good patriots in both Canada and the US.
Prime Minister, President, King all I know is doing black face three time does seem to help when it comes to electability in Canada, maybe it just counts for racist on the left?
As a Canadian who's been around hockey my whole life, Grapes is indeed a national treasure. Ironically he was offered a job in Russia to "talk about anything he wants" #doncherryisright 🇨🇦🤘
I live in Northern New York, and we picked up Canadian television stations. for years I watched and thoroughly enjoyed Hockey Night in Canada. Don Cherry is truly an icon, I wanted no distractions during Hockey Night in Canada. I didn't want to answer the phone during Hockey Night in Canada. I prepared special snacks to enjoy during Hockey Night in Canada. And I had a notebook at my side to keep track of all the other game scores during that time, to see how the outcomes of the two games that I was watching affected my favorite team in the standings. It was always a very special and exciting evening. Can someone give me a link to the petition to reinstate Don Cherry? He was like a Master Ceremonies for the program. He made each broadcast an exciting event.
We live in a country where we re-elect a prime minister who has done blackface multiple times, and been blatantly racist and disrespectful to other cultures, yet fire a man who just wants people to wear a poppy on remembrance day...
So... if some of the more sane provinces of Canada wanna secede and join the US could you? The addition of more sane voters into the US could seriously hurt the left wingers globalist Agenda. I’m usually America First, but I do think trump should apply political pressure to our so called “allies” that have less and less in common with us each year. Everyone has a god given or natural right to free speech. Screwdeaux should recognize that
Welcome to the world today. We let these children dictate what we should and shouldn't say. These snowflakes try to cry if I am offensive but I get more offensive the more they cry about it.
As a Canadian, we are pissed about this stupid firing of Don. Most of us look forward to watching him on Hockey night in Canada. Truly a sad time in Canada!
Creepy Creek As a Canadian, I agree entirely. This is another embarrassing moment for our country that makes us look like a bunch of oversensitive pussies when in reality everyone is pissed about his being fired.

Canadian here: There was uproar all over the country when he was fired. He was so beloved and the fact he got fired on his favorite day really pissed so many of us off. There were so many better ways to go about the situation but no, they fired him. They fired a legendary entertainer because he said he need to honor vets.
My brother and I used to look forward to a new Rock'Em Sock'Em every Christmas. They were hilarious. It was a highlight reel of the past year in hockey (before 24 hour sports channels did nothing but show highlights, mind you) where he dedicated a solid half of it to hits and fights. He loved it all, and so did we. Plus, you got his commentary throughout. And for you tea-sippers out there who don't know, Don's commentary was a beauty.
Yep, brings back memories. Those were always on the Christmas list. Back in the days of Tie Domi, Red Wings vs. Avalanche, Belfour, etc. When Hockey Night in Canada was at it's best
CBC probably just used it as an excuse because HNIC is floundering, they couldn't even afford the theme song, they definitely couldn't afford Don Cherry.
I immigrated to Canada from the Philippines for almost a decade now. Don Cherry actually said “you people” that others may find offensive. BUT I don’t personally considered it as a mockery and/or racism. It’s in the delivery, he is genuinely stating a fact. My 11-year-old son even reminded me to wear a poppy as a sign of respect. Cancel culture is way out of the line. And yes, firing Don Cherry unnecessary. Cmon guys! There are far more important things than being a snowflake ❄️.
@@austinwarner1755 I feel that. Grade 12 English for me was straight up just reading a bunch of uber woke novels. Im pretty I lost a substantial portion of my brain cells after that semester.
This was a low point for Canada. This man was a legend loved by generations. This was blown way out of proportion and goes to show that freedom of speech is dying. #boycottrogers #istandwithcherry #youpeopleneedtocalmthefuckdown
As was pointed out in the video Canada has no free speech only hate laws. So there is nothing to fall back on when you say someones dog looks funny. They will immediately look for some reason to be offended and make sure the world knows it.
Don Cherry was fired for being Don Cherry. Anyone of us could be next. “And then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.” (Poem)
My parents came to Canada, from the Netherlands, in 51. It was my dad's dream when Canadian soldiers stayed in the barn on the family farm and used it as a base to clear Nazi soldiers out of the area. I wear a poppy and even wore a poppy mask last November. I go to the war memorial ceremonies on Nov. 11 and I place my poppy on the monument when the ceremony is over. It's the least I can do for what those soldiers did for my family and ultimately for me.
Randell Darky that’s what I was thinking if a male reporter even suggested doing an interview in the women’s locker room where they were naked he would be fired and possible arrested
Fun fact, a week before Don Cherry got canned, I commented on his online video telling him to leave the station who kept censoring him and limiting him, and told him to go solo on his own channel. Then it all happened. Don Cherry is a LEGEND.
It’s despicable that Ron McLean was sitting next to him and nodding his head in agreement with Cherry and then turns his back on him when the crap hit the fan. Thanks for being a stand up friend,Ron! I guarantee you that Cherry would have had McLean’s back if it would have happened to him.
So let me, an American, get this straight: A legend of Canadian sports broadcasting makes mild remarks about "honor the dead, ye who came to these shores," and he was fired? Well now, that is rather a remark upon those who ordered the firing, is it not?
Used to travel to Canada for business a lot and LOVED LOVED to watch Don Cherry. I am not Canadian, but he IS a national treasure. if you like hockey at all you know who Don Cherry is regardless of your national origin.
Don Cherry also coached the Boston Bruins for 5 years during Bobby Orr's time, hense why it is called coach's corner. Crowder you should know this being canadian. Who can forget rock em sock em hockey, i think there was like 30 of them. We used to find it in our stocking every year.
Yes! I realize that this is the first that I've seen this episode, which was aired years ago.....but, this is my absolute favourite! You absolutely nailed it! Don Cherry is a national hero....even to this day!! As a former Canadian yourself, you may be the next one!! Thank-You so much for bringing this to light! Covid was a distraction for when this all happened, unfortunately!
That's why half the country is considering separation, because most of us aren't racist spoiled brat Liberals, and we're done letting Quebec and Ontario decide what we should value.
We'd be strolling to work in our fabulous suits, greeting one another with a thumbs up, talking hockey, and shedding a tear about our military. That'd be a beauty.
I'm American and a guy I used to play hockey with was from Toronto. He said about Don Cherry "Don Cherry is to Canada what Howard Stern is to the U.S. Everyone says they hate him, but they're all watching or listening to him every week." I thought it was an accurate description.
Bobby Orr left the Bruins in '76. Cherry started coaching the Bruins right around the time Orr left. But Don loved Bobby Orr. Lots of Canadians of a certain age consider Bobby Orr the best hockey player that ever lived. He played less than 10m years in the NHL. He had bad knees.
@@joeparish4989 as a Canadian that lives in the heart of hockey Canada. It's either Gretzky or Orr in conversations. A lot consider Orr because he changed the game.
I literally never comment- but who I’m their right mind decides to cancel Grapes! He is a god dang national treasure and institution! HNIC so much respect lost
STAND UP FOR DON CHERRY!!! STAND UP FOR ALL OF OUR VETS!! Cherry called out TORONTO and MISSISSAUGA for their lack of PATRIOTISM!! BOYCOTT SPORTSNET! GET WOKE,GO BROKE! Sportsnet needs to be taught a lesson.
Vidar Because we TECHNICALLY do, in our charter of rights and freedoms we have the Freedom of Expression, which covers the freedom of speech... It’s just that at a later point, laws were made saying that some freedoms are allowed to be restricted if deemed necessary
If Hillary is so powerful how did the system that enables her power allowed trump (the original snowflake) to win the election? And win it through the electoral college the system he promised his followers would go against him due to how corrupt it is. Ok so the system that he said “is a disaster for a democracy” elected him and he lost the popular vote, FACT. Now he promised Hillary will go straight to jail when he’s elected. Hasn’t happened, why? Is she SO POWERFUL that he can’t do it? And if so is he really in charge?
I always thought that the Alpo Suhonen comment was Cherry's best. Alpo was an assistant coach of the Winnipeg Jets and Don asked, "Alpo Suhonen, what's that, some kind of dog food?" That one had me on the floor laughing!
Except the media doesn't and frame it in a way suggesting most wanted him gone. It's like the pipeline. They crammed down people's throat that MOST Canadians opposed it when only 25% opposed it.
There are a lot of examples of “cancel culture” but I think this one is the worst. What’s the most egregious example that comes to mind for you? And to Americans out there, are you familiar with national treasure, Don Cherry?

Imagine being fired on rememberance day.....
Canadian here:
There was uproar all over the country when he was fired. He was so beloved and the fact he got fired on his favorite day really pissed so many of us off. There were so many better ways to go about the situation but no, they fired him. They fired a legendary entertainer because he said he need to honor vets.
I'm glad you talked about Don Cherry. The whole situation is absurd
The “greatest hits” you’re referring to are the “Rock em sock em” videos, absolutely legendary
My brother and I used to look forward to a new Rock'Em Sock'Em every Christmas. They were hilarious.
It was a highlight reel of the past year in hockey (before 24 hour sports channels did nothing but show highlights, mind you) where he dedicated a solid half of it to hits and fights. He loved it all, and so did we.
Plus, you got his commentary throughout. And for you tea-sippers out there who don't know, Don's commentary was a beauty.
Brandon Foster except for the "Rock 'em sock 'em techno" that can be stricken from the record......
Beat me too it; Don Cherry’s Rock em Sock em hockey.
Yep, brings back memories. Those were always on the Christmas list. Back in the days of Tie Domi, Red Wings vs. Avalanche, Belfour, etc. When Hockey Night in Canada was at it's best
"Left wing pinkos"
I'm bringing that back.
I’m still in awe they fired him, they made the wrong decision, haven’t watched since
CBC probably just used it as an excuse because HNIC is floundering, they couldn't even afford the theme song, they definitely couldn't afford Don Cherry.
Don Cherry is a legend and I’m ashamed of our society these days
That's saying a lot from a guy with sand bucket tits.
Lol I can’t take you serious with your profile pic
As a Canadian I love how Steven is showing his buddies Don Cherry with such pride lol
Yeah, this was a feelgood moment for me. Wait until they discover Red Green.
You call that pride when he had no facts about him. I'm Canadian it this was insulting. He knew nothing about him
@@carterrivers6817Huh?
I miss his dog Blue, you’re a real Canadian if you remember Blue
Sure do!
And his show, Don Cherry’s Grapevine that Blue co-hosted!
Both of them.
I'm an American hockey fan. Does that count?
Blue, Blue what a pup who else loves the Stanley cup?
I immigrated to Canada from the Philippines for almost a decade now. Don Cherry actually said “you people” that others may find offensive. BUT I don’t personally considered it as a mockery and/or racism. It’s in the delivery, he is genuinely stating a fact. My 11-year-old son even reminded me to wear a poppy as a sign of respect.
Cancel culture is way out of the line. And yes, firing Don Cherry unnecessary. Cmon guys! There are far more important things than being a snowflake ❄️.
Thankfully someone didn’t apologise for something that they didn’t do wrong!!
I turned into a conservative after living 5 years in Canada.
Me too.
I turned conservative after finishing high school and realizing the brainwash they put you through in Canadian schools
It’s too bad our leaders who are supposed to represent us don’t care two shits. There about as liberals as they come
It took 2 years for me😅
@@austinwarner1755 I feel that. Grade 12 English for me was straight up just reading a bunch of uber woke novels. Im pretty I lost a substantial portion of my brain cells after that semester.
This was a low point for Canada. This man was a legend loved by generations. This was blown way out of proportion and goes to show that freedom of speech is dying.
#boycottrogers #istandwithcherry #youpeopleneedtocalmthefuckdown
As was pointed out in the video Canada has no free speech only hate laws. So there is nothing to fall back on when you say someones dog looks funny. They will immediately look for some reason to be offended and make sure the world knows it.
Yeah a lot of us up here are really pissed off aboot this. But black face trudeau is still running the country so we are fuct until further notice
@@Igorath And make sure you are punished for what you said.
Don Cherry was fired for being Don Cherry.
Anyone of us could be next.
“And then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.” (Poem)
If you’re a heterosexual white person, you’re on the watch list!
He spoke the truth. Look at the crowds at the war memorial Nov 11th.
republicans are scared to talk about the impeachment hearings.
change my mind
Exactly.
@Clark Campbell bit premature to say it is blowing up in the dems face dont you think?
@With The Quickness the impeachment is irrelevant?
I do wonder if Remembrance Day events will still be held past 2030 when the government hopes to hit its target of 100 million Canadians.
I’m an immigrant to Canada, I came for the milk and honey........I choose to honor veterans, they made Canadá and our way of life possible.
Thank you David, welcome aboard.
Thank you
Atta boy. Welcome bro. You no what's up here
My parents came to Canada, from the Netherlands, in 51. It was my dad's dream when Canadian soldiers stayed in the barn on the family farm and used it as a base to clear Nazi soldiers out of the area.
I wear a poppy and even wore a poppy mask last November. I go to the war memorial ceremonies on Nov. 11 and I place my poppy on the monument when the ceremony is over. It's the least I can do for what those soldiers did for my family and ultimately for me.
Welcome David!
I grew up outside Detroit. The man is the greatest NHL person EVER! My honeymoon was in Canada and my wife and I purchased and wore a poppy.
The problem isn’t that we’re a country of Don Cherry’s, because we’re not. The bigger problem is that we are a country of Ron Mcleans’s.
Haha so true
Yup
Don Cherry's ingrown toenail is more canadian than downtown TO combined
Downtown TO is a shithole. Toronto in general has gone to shit.
LOL best comment..
This is the first time i ever hearrd of Don Cherry i adore this man bring him to the show,
Oh god, my boner can only get so erect!!!
STEVEN!!!! MAKE IT HAPPEN
John Smith prove it fren!! 💧🍌
Dane Lisslow look up “rock em sock em hockey”
Can a Male reporter go into a Women's locker room?
I'm sure a male athlete who identifies as female can.
Randell Darky that’s what I was thinking if a male reporter even suggested doing an interview in the women’s locker room where they were naked he would be fired and possible arrested
Yes...as long as he identifies as a woman....🤡👍
Fun fact, a week before Don Cherry got canned, I commented on his online video telling him to leave the station who kept censoring him and limiting him, and told him to go solo on his own channel. Then it all happened. Don Cherry is a LEGEND.
"If my Aunt had nuts she'd be my uncle" - Don Cherry 😂😂
Giovanni Russo, did he say this? If this is true it's friggen hilarious and as a woman, I approve this message. 😂
it's a famous Russian saying
Don cherry is THE best hockey commentator. He says it how he sees it and doesn’t back down. He’s a true legend.
It’s despicable that Ron McLean was sitting next to him and nodding his head in agreement with Cherry and then turns his back on him when the crap hit the fan.
Thanks for being a stand up friend,Ron!
I guarantee you that Cherry would have had McLean’s back if it would have happened to him.
Don Cherry is the Unofficial Prime Minister of Canada.
So let me, an American, get this straight:
A legend of Canadian sports broadcasting makes mild remarks about "honor the dead, ye who came to these shores," and he was fired?
Well now, that is rather a remark upon those who ordered the firing, is it not?
We are approaching Soviet style though police over here. Just slightly behind the UK in that regard. Not quite Sweden yet but getting close.
He got fired because he said "you people" referring to immigrants.
“Don Cherry’s Rock-em Sock-em Hockey” videos are about to get 8 BILLION views on TH-cam now! 😂😂😂
I have them all on vhs sitting in a hall of greats, every once and a while I still play them to remember what hockey once was
Used to travel to Canada for business a lot and LOVED LOVED to watch Don Cherry. I am not Canadian, but he IS a national treasure. if you like hockey at all you know who Don Cherry is regardless of your national origin.
it was ''Don Cherry's Rock'em Sock'em Hockey''.
Glorious. I miss those. And good old Blue.
The best!
Don Cherry also coached the Boston Bruins for 5 years during Bobby Orr's time, hense why it is called coach's corner. Crowder you should know this being canadian. Who can forget rock em sock em hockey, i think there was like 30 of them. We used to find it in our stocking every year.
john fazzari crowder is a beta that doesn’t know anything about sports. He wasn’t even sure that the host of coaches corner was a coach.
@@patrickbooth5091 it was only available on VHS
Make him a regular guest. America will love “the real Don!”
Hi good morning Dave, how are you doing
Great idea!!!!! PLEASE DO IT, CROWDER. Give Cherry an American platform cuz American Hockey fans LOVE HIM!!!!. btw,...Did u meet Super Mario
Lemieux?
Grew up playing hockey in the states, and that meant don cherry. This man is a legend.
Yes! I realize that this is the first that I've seen this episode, which was aired years ago.....but, this is my absolute favourite! You absolutely nailed it!
Don Cherry is a national hero....even to this day!! As a former Canadian yourself, you may be the next one!! Thank-You so much for bringing this to light! Covid was a distraction for when this all happened, unfortunately!
If more Canadians were like him maybe Canada wouldn’t suck so much.
have you actually ever met a Canadian or actually been to Canada or is this just generalizing?
JohnnyHildo he’s right we have about 5 911 588 soft cunts in this country.
That's why half the country is considering separation, because most of us aren't racist spoiled brat Liberals, and we're done letting Quebec and Ontario decide what we should value.
We'd be strolling to work in our fabulous suits, greeting one another with a thumbs up, talking hockey, and shedding a tear about our military. That'd be a beauty.
@@TheCheesewalrus As a Canadian for 20 years, I approve that message.
As an American I loved Don Cherry. He will be missed.
I never heard if this guy, but now he is my hero. This dude is hillarious
I'm American and a guy I used to play hockey with was from Toronto. He said about Don Cherry "Don Cherry is to Canada what Howard Stern is to the U.S. Everyone says they hate him, but they're all watching or listening to him every week." I thought it was an accurate description.
Hockey Fan in the states and while I don’t always agree with Cherry, he is a legend of the game and I can’t believe he’s fired over literally nothing.
"I think he was a coach." He coached Bobby Orr's Bruins...
Bobby Orr left the Bruins in '76. Cherry started coaching the Bruins right around the time Orr left. But Don loved Bobby Orr. Lots of Canadians of a certain age consider Bobby Orr the best hockey player that ever lived. He played less than 10m years in the NHL. He had bad knees.
@@joeparish4989 as a Canadian that lives in the heart of hockey Canada. It's either Gretzky or Orr in conversations. A lot consider Orr because he changed the game.
He was a coach, but he couldn't count to six.
@@westofeverything3367 ya he started in the 74-75 season bobby left in 76-77
@@johncampbell3940 6! that's about how many seconds long you'd last with him before he had you crying
I literally never comment- but who I’m their right mind decides to cancel Grapes! He is a god dang national treasure and institution! HNIC so much respect lost
He's got a pod cast starting Tuesday's I believe. "Don Cherry' s Grapevine" he's going to address the firing 1st episode should be good.
This is an awesome podcast too.
STAND UP FOR DON CHERRY!!! STAND UP FOR ALL OF OUR VETS!! Cherry called out TORONTO and MISSISSAUGA for their lack of PATRIOTISM!! BOYCOTT SPORTSNET! GET WOKE,GO BROKE! Sportsnet needs to be taught a lesson.
Don't watch that show nor anything on CBC leftist Television.
It always surprises me when people think Canada has free speech
Vidar Because we TECHNICALLY do, in our charter of rights and freedoms we have the Freedom of Expression, which covers the freedom of speech...
It’s just that at a later point, laws were made saying that some freedoms are allowed to be restricted if deemed necessary
We don't, it's called "freedom of expression" since the Charter of Rights and Freedoms was forced on us by Trudeau Sr.
The government of Canada said free speech is an"American concept"and doesn't apply to Canadians.So there you go.
All he has to do is put on a wig and say he's trans, and Canada would make him King.
@The Goat lol
So true. He would be a liberal treasure.
*queen
"I'm too old to be diving into a locker" I lol'd at the reference.
It was ok for their leader to go black face and lied and got the Hillary pass but Don gets fired?
If Hillary is so powerful how did the system that enables her power allowed trump (the original snowflake) to win the election? And win it through the electoral college the system he promised his followers would go against him due to how corrupt it is. Ok so the system that he said “is a disaster for a democracy” elected him and he lost the popular vote, FACT. Now he promised Hillary will go straight to jail when he’s elected. Hasn’t happened, why? Is she SO POWERFUL that he can’t do it? And if so is he really in charge?
Its cause Trudeau is a liberal. Of course hed get the pass
Matt Polzkill would you support trump consolidating power and completely taking over to do away with the bureaucracy? So he can have total control?
Matt Polzkill and you are fine with him totally lying over and over again? You personally know where his lies end and when he’s speaking facts?
@@illnessshaw Ok, derp, we get it. Orange Man Bad
Not offensive at all. Not to immigrants, not to anyone.
@@WrathofFenrir99 How is being supportive of veterans and demanding respect for those who died fighting in WWI egotistical?
@@WrathofFenrir99 you need to go buy a poppy he was talking about ppl like you..and thanks for proving his point
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say none of those immigrants that were supposedly offended were even watching hockey.
You don't have to be a veteran to support them, idiot.
“I think he was also a coach “made me lol...yes he coached one of the greatest players Boston ever saw
Bobby Orr
these Americans dont respect the puck
I wish we had more people like Don, who by the way had balls, in this world with a back bone to speak truth.
In a time of universal deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
Thank you for bringing this up Steven, its getting worse and worse up here in Canada, Don Cherry Is a Legend.
God Bless and thank you!
He didn’t apologize? I’m an immediate fan 🙏 😊
I always thought that the Alpo Suhonen comment was Cherry's best. Alpo was an assistant coach of the Winnipeg Jets and Don asked, "Alpo Suhonen, what's that, some kind of dog food?" That one had me on the floor laughing!
Grapes 🍇 was ultimately fired for “wrong think”.
Down the memory hole he goes!
Most people in Canada thinks it's really stupid what happened to him
Except the media doesn't and frame it in a way suggesting most wanted him gone. It's like the pipeline. They crammed down people's throat that MOST Canadians opposed it when only 25% opposed it.
Paulafan5 True. And this is a major reason why we want to state-run and operated CBC to be dismantled.
I ❤️Don Cherry, he supports our armed forces and their families!
He's a Right Winger!
I love him! Alaskan hockey fan here! Ridiculous that he was fired. Good for him to not apologize.
I love that you talked on this. Don Cherry is a blessing
As an American fan of Hockey, "Hockey Night" is one of my ring-tones.
Amazing!
Is any of this any more offensive than Cardi B's entire existence?
Not even close.
Okerrrr
Who?
Zac Kennedy why are you offended by a persons existence you snowflake?
Nope
Let's let men reporters go into women's locker rooms while they are changing. Let's see how that goes
Jimmy Soto if they claim to identify as women there shouldn’t be any problem with that.....hahaha
