Don Cherry is 85 years old, so world war two would have happened during his lifetime for him it was not an event that he read in a history book but experienced it. Because of his emotional ties with world war 2, he conveyed those emotions as a result of noticing a high number of people not wearing poppies. In his poppy rant, he used the words ours rather than yours. That one word is the word that ultimately got him fired. Because he is such a high profile person, his sacking from SportsNet creates a chill effect that reinforces the perception that people have. If you speak out, criticize or take a stand on an issue, you can lose your job, which discourages people from speaking out.
