Dons_1988 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Best description I've seen for remembrance 2010s style. Gammon is delicious but it’s not appropriate for Xmas dinner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads well and truly gone all over the place here after this happened. Cancelled subscriptions, "freedom of speech" "snowflakes" "Why wasn't (democratically re-elected) Justin Trudeau fired??" Spectacular viewing for one of "those people" like me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When workers are laid off in their thousands in order to improve stock-prices or increase executive bonuses, the right-wing are all in favour of it, or at best, completely silent. One of their own gets dumped for embarrassing their employer and they're outraged. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping Sportsnet go into full troll mode and bring in the guys from Hockey Night in Punjabi to replace him on Saturday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada's version of the "Yer Da" crowd are all over comments sections of news articles and (especially) on Facebook making angry comments about "Freedom of speech" completely forgetting that Cherry worked for a private company so he is not protected by those laws 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be amazing Oh and Hockey night in Punjabi commentators are great entertainment, even if you don't understand Punjabi, sort of like watching South American football with the Spanish language commentators 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I hadn't realised that Hockey night in Punjabi was a real thing. I thought it was something Torpar had made up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone told him one of the "you people" was actually a blonde Irish guy (McLean) his head would pop out of his outrageously large collars. Canada is a country that prides itself on tolerance and inclusion but also gives an 85 year old bigoted blowhard a stump to rant on every Saturday night during hockey season. I realise this conversation has advanced slightly, but this strikes me as Sportsnet taking an opportunity to punt an increasingly irrelevant and incoherent old man with an easy excuse, rather than trying to get rid of him naturally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure this played a part in it, I also presume that pressure from the sponsors to punt him played a part 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
