Cherry would not take back what he said.
“I know what I said and I meant it,” Cherry told the Toronto Sun after he was fired. “Everybody in Canada should wear a poppy to honor our fallen soldiers.”
He added to the newspaper that: “To keep my job, I cannot be turned into a tamed robot.”
You can’t speak your mind when you’re in the public eye.
Increasingly, Cherry would use his celebrity for political purposes, such as speaking on behalf of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford at his inauguration and calling those who believe in climate change “cuckaloos.”
Sports and politics is a dish best served separately.
