"I did it and I'm paying the price:' Cherry speaks out

After being relieved of his duties on Hockey night in Canada, Don Cherry says he wishes he used different words, but won't apologize for the message. Adrian Ghobrial speaks one-on-one with the controversial hockey broadcaster.

[@jimijamesjowitt]

His comment was fine and true too.

[@ParaAkula]

there is nothing bad about the things he said. my parents emigrated from czech republic to germany when i was 12. I played for a german hockey team and adapted to the german way of life. If there would have been a chance to wear poppys whatsoever, i would have done that proudly to show appreciation to a country where i had a chance to live in. Don cherry is absolutely right, and i respect him for saying what he thinks on national tv. I will miss him , since i grew up watching his shows.

[@epicphailure88]

@Noartist He said plenty wrong. If you want to urge immigrants to wear poppies and support the troops than do it in a calm and respectful manner. There's plenty of Canadians who dont wear poppies anyways. Don should have just stick to talking about hockey instead he uses Coachs Corner as a platform to vent about his political views.

My students in China ALL memorize “In Flanders Fields” and I give them a poppy to wear that I bring from Canada! The reason?...140,000 Mainland Chinese were in Flanders in WWI. Many died but because they were Chinese, neither the Allies nor the Germans wanted Chinese buried in their cemeteries, so they were buried out in the fields. When China opened its doors to the world a number of years ago, France was the first to jump on board by letting the Chinese know that they had dug up all the remains of the Chinese who had died and finally put them in a cemetery just for them. The information was NOT full heartedly received by the Chinese because they had always denied the existence of Chinese being on the front in Flanders fighting for the Allies and Democracy! If any mention of it were made in Chinese publications, like most things the CCP does not want their people to know, it is simply purged from the documents. Kinda like being unable to find anything on Tiananmen in Chinese texts!..it’s ALL gone! Once I did my power point presentation on the Chinese in Flanders, the students became genuinely interested in the subject and their recitations of the poem clearly showed a spirit in them I had never seen before! Our ceremony never glorified war but shed light on the thousands of Chinese who lost their lives in a war where no one ever knew they participated! The truth builds stronger spirits than lies!

I have no position on the Don Cherry sitsuation. What I do know as fact is the original inhabitants of this land are truly the only none immigrant people, yet they originated from some area. Various, NEW findings are changing our knowledge monthly. Even as immigrants came to this new country, via boat, plane, or train. First Nations people needed a pass to leave their own land, which they were placed on via new Western Culture people. These lands are commonly known as a reserve. First Nations, people fought in ALL wars. Earlier, in the history of Canada, they even had their treaty rights removed upon returning from war. Thus, my point is, clear and simple "can we all just get along" To quote Rodney King. Imagine if all of this energy, right or wrong was placed on abuse, homelessness, or hunger, or even solving other horrific other causes in this Nation, would we not all be better off. Just a thought.

Yesterday I was listening to CJAD 800 in Montreal and the radio talk show host recalled an incident of a French Speaking Radio personality making an even worse and disparaging remark on two South Korean baseball players. This radio talk show host was working for the Montreal Expos in 2002, the year the Expos traded Cliff Floyd to the Boston Red Sox for Seung Song (minors) and Sun-Woo Kim. He was working for the Expos PR department and rushed into a French language radio show to announce the news. This French broadcaster whose name is unknown (the radio show host would not reveal it during the show) made a breaking news announcement on air that the Expos traded Cliff Floyd for 2 Egg Rolls! Here's the astonishing fact, this French radio host did not get fired and today is still working and makes public appearances. Yet, Don Cherry gets the axe for something less repugnant.

Wear the poppy because what we have is precious, never been done before throughout all of human existence. People died horrible deaths so we can sit behind our monitors and gripe.

How does the individual at the ice arena have the ability to uncatagorically affirm that the words "you people" were aimed at her particular visible minorities.
