Don Cherry has apparently received the boot from Sportsnet up in Canada:

If you’re not a hockey person, Cherry is the dude who wears the ridiculous suits and sometimes says ridiculous things (like calling the Carolina Hurricanes a “bunch of jerks”). He’s 85 years old, a former NHL player himself who also coached the Boston Bruins in the mid-70s.

Cherry found himself in headlines again because he went on a mini-rant against immigrants a few days ago. Long story short, countries like Canada, Australia, and the UK celebrate something called “Remembrance Day,” which honors armed forces members who died in the line of duty. They wear these symbolic poppy pins, and that was the topic of his comments.

Said Cherry on TV:

He’s basically saying Canadian immigrants are ungrateful. “You people,” etc.

The backlash was strong and now he’s been #canceled.
