Exclusive:
Winnipeg Man Proves Don Cherry Is Correct!
Research Report Reveals Grapes Statements on French accurate
DETROIT,
MICHIGAN FEBRUARY 10, 2004
The Grapevine Online has obtained a fascinating
thirty-one page report titled
"Was the CBC
Justified in Censuring Don Cherry?" from a man
identified simply as "Curt from the 'Peg".
The document essentially proves that Don Cherry's
statements made on the January 24, 2004 edition of
Coach's Corner were correct. Cherry, who often
goes by Grapes, stated that most players that wear
visors (or masks) in the NHL are "Europeans and
French guys". This has led to an investigation
by the Canadian government and the decision to put
Coach's Corner on a seven-second delay to allow
statements deemed inappropriate to be censored.
Here is a summary of his findings:
-
35% of the players in the NHL wear visors;
-
North Americans make up 61% of the NHL and
represent 35% of the players who wear visors;
-
"Europeans and French guys" make up 39% of the
NHL and wear 65% of the visors;
-
20% of the North Americans that play in the NHL
wear a visor;
-
55% of the "French guys" who play in the NHL
wear a visor; and
-
59% of the Europeans that play in the NHL wear a
visor.
Yes folks, Curt went through the entire roster of
each NHL team, classified each player, determined
whether the player wears a visor. Incredible
work.
Still interested? Curt gave the Grapevine
Online permission to publish the complete letter
that summarize his findings and describes how he
built his model. Check out the data:

Grapes Under
Investigation!
What happened to Free Speech?
DETROIT, MICHIGAN FEBRUARY 5, 2004
Here we go again! Don Cherry is under
investigation by the Canadian "official languages
commissioner" (whatever the hell that means!) for
his comments on the January 24, 2004 installment of
Coach's Corner on CBC! This rings surprising
similar to Grapes' comments on the March 22, 2003
show where he railed against the Canadian government
for its lack of support for the Coalition War in
Iraq.
A group made the compliant accusing Grapes of
"anti-French" comments. The groups name, and
I'm serious, is called "Canadian Parents for
French". Losers.
Apparently someone was offended by his
characterization of NHL players that wear visors (or
protective masks) as "Europeans and French guys".
And tough guys don't wear them (like Domi). He
went to add that he always knew that mandatory
requirements for protective gear were coming for the
NHL.
Our Comments: Are you kidding me?
What has this world come to? Come on, you know
this stuff drives you crazy. Here is a
link to the January
24, 2004 show. See below from YOUR emails and
letters after the March 22 show.
