Did he say anything about skin colour or race? Maybe he was talking about everyone in his city. Why do people automatically assume brown people? It’s not even close to insinuated...but then again, some people hear what they want. He was clearly referring to immigrants. His xenophobic comments are uncalled for and he was rightfully fired as a mouthpiece for a private corporation that serves that same immigrant base. The constant justification on this board of racism and xenophobia is mind blowing. Stay classy, Bills fans. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has long since moved beyond its dictionary definition. At some point if you keep changing the meaning of words, they lose any meaning all together. And before anyone says it, this is not a comment about the Cherry stuff, just the use of that word in general. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to be pretty disingenuous to not get who he's referring to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess maybe he could be talking about the people who come into the Coach's Corner studio to the Kraft foods table done has set up with Milk and Honey... And who said anyone was assuming Brown people? Maybe people are assuming Asian? And he wasn't fired because of just this one comment, he has had years of cringe worthy, offensive comments that he has made throughout his career, this was just the latest one that they decided would be it for him. The world is so divided today that of course networks and media will act upon things like this harsher then before because it only fuels the hatred and division already out there.

Not abuse in any way shape or form, but arsehole lying coaches that need to be adored and praised , money being lit on fire , and promise after promise unkept. Hockey is a whacked youth sport in many ways, the junior system being the worst offender! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
