If Don Cherry’s not the most colourful Canadian ever, he’s in the running. Wardrobe alone puts him on the list, but that’s mere sidebar to an extraordinary life. The man’s iconic. Even without the 40-year broadcasting career, he’d be famous. Yet they cast him aside like yesterday’s garbage. They cancelled him, and they badmouthed him on the way out. That’s how they do it now..........
His love for Canada and Canadians was as clear as his contempt for Europeans entering the league in big numbers. Lack of physical play by Swedes and Finns was a frequent target of his wrath. When Russians started appearing in the 90s, it was as if war had been declared. On the rare occasions Don got political, he was an unapologetic nationalist. He spoke often of “Left-Wing Pinkos.”.......
The world’s changed immensely since 1979. It’s changed immensely since 2015, when Kaepernick was a QB and Woke Sports was just waking up. Today, the NFL’s unwatchable, and the NHL’s desperate to catch up.............
Overnight, MacLean changed his tune. He called Cherry’s comments “hurtful, discriminatory and flat-out wrong." He hosted a nauseating discussion on race and gender in hockey. He flagellated himself and whites everywhere. He denounced, he prostrated -- then he pivoted to pious lecturing.

He took a leadership role in the moral preening. Whites -- especially men -- must know their place. Whites must shut up and listen. Simpering submissiveness is the only acceptable posture for white males tiptoeing through a minefield of career-destroying social topics...........To Read More.....
