I've always found it rather ridiculous that Don Cherry, along with other sports and entertainment personalities, depart from talking about things about which they may know something (sports, entertainment) and spout off about things they are often singularly unqualified to comment on in a meaningful way. Don't get me wrong, they are free to do so, if their employer tolerates (or encourages) it, and they are free to do so as private citizens, just like the rest of us. But, with rare exceptions, Don Cherry and virtually all of the actors, entertainers, athletes and others who proffer opinions on politics, social or cultural issues, science, or anything outside of what got them in the public eye, are no more qualified to do so than virtually any member of the public. (You may as well pull random people off the street.) Yet because of their media profile, the viewing public listens to what they say on these issues. I don't and what Cherry has said here is the reason why.
