Sportsnet releases tepid statement on Don Cherry's vile rant

Sportsnet released a tepid statement regarding Don Cherry’s offensive rant against immigrants made during Saturday night’s broadcast.

Cherry labeled immigrants as “you people” and blasted them for not purchasing poppies ahead of Remembrance Day.

“You people... love our way of life, love our milk and honey. At least you could pay a couple of bucks for poppies or something like that. These guys paid for your way of life that you enjoy in Canada,” Cherry said.

Here is the network’s statement, although there’s really nothing to be gained from this word salad.
