One last point, CBC was a profit making machine when Hockey was aired on there every Saturday nite. Their stats went through the roof, it was so amazing, that even the dreaded French Canadians would change their channels for the first 5 minutes of the 1st intermission, just to see what Grapes has to say.
Ever since he was fired, CBC has lost their great Hockey Nite in Canada, lost their theme music, lost their 1st intermission golden status and their overall broadcast numbers have hit rock bottom.
CBC alone has gone to the way side because they got rid of Don.
It sickens me as a Canadian and friend that he has been treated like he has, period.
Don Cherry is the least racist person I know. He is 100% pro Canadian, supports all the blue collar jobs, stands strong with all military and veterans.
His comment was taken out and re-shaped to give the left winged sicko’s their fire they needed to silence him. Even sicko Ron, jumped on that hate ship.
He is a coach of the year award winner, he has the current record and will never be beat, as the coach with eleven 20+ goal scorers in a single season.
He has had rules created and amended because of his style of coaching. He was a player coach and always supported the players on his teams.
Now, he has never been recognized for the Canadian Walk of Fame, he has never been considered for the Canadian Hockey Hall of Fame. Don finished officially 7th, in the greatest Canadian poll, but what the public doesn’t know, he was 1st overall, by a landslide in votes. Politics said, no way we can have him finish first and changed it.
Why do we degrade and undermine our own promoters and people that speak out for Canadians. I for one have felt Don was treated so unfairly by so many, when in all, he has kept his composure and never spoke against them.
The world of hockey should be ashamed, because when he is gone, they will have lost their biggest supporter of the game and our country. However, money drives everything and Gary Betman hates the Canadian teams.
Well said. Grapes is a legend.
