Victoria Ahearn, The Canadian PressTORONTO - A correspondent on the Canadian daytime talk show "The Social" has clarified her hot-button on-air comments about Don Cherry's firing from "Hockey Night in Canada."
Allen told viewers that she doesn't "worship at the altar of hockey" and found in her experience that those who do "all tended to be white boys who weren't, let's say, very nice." Allen pointed out "You can do other things besides spending your time in an arena; you can go on a trip and learn about the world, see other things, eh? The world is a big place, maybe get outside of that bubble.In Wednesday's opening segment of the CTV series, Allen acknowledged that she "struck a nerve with many people.
Lost all respect for Ron Mc Lean. Obviously told by the heads at Bell to stick it to Don
Terrible
This isn’t racism. Not even the same thing as what Don did . I swear you are all just mad because you want Don back not even thinking things through
That didn’t clarify anything to me.
FireJessAllen Not like she’d be hard to replace. Just do it.
At Least Bobby Orr knows the truth and has the balls to stand up to these left wing Liberal nut jobs.
is it racism only when its not about white people? R white people the only ones who can be racist? When you're singling out a particular race or color of skin, in my opinion it's racism. in this case, a white woman says that white boys who r hockey players are bullies, is racism.

If true free speech in this country was tolerated, I have no problem with her opinions. However, it's not. She is a racist; in fact, a self-loathing anti-white bigot. If those words were said about a black person, she'd be out. Why the double standard? FireJessAllen
She didn’t clarify anything. And she can’t clarify DC statement as she didn’t make it and has no idea what his thought process was at the time
FireJessAllen! Her comments were racist, sexist, and elitest! Her comments were far more specific and blunt than were Don Cherry's.
double standards
Great so now if I see a POC break a law I can say all POC are criminals because that was my experience. 🤦♂️ Fire her or you are enabling hate and stereotyping. End of debate.
FireJessAllen
What she said was worse than what Cherry said. Objectively and specifically. No standards for the left. Once again!!!
Strange trend - when bigots openly opine on bigotry
Double standard much?
Yeah okay, Are you that desperate?
The big question is, will she WIN this years - Best Host in a Lifestyle Talk or Entertainment News Program or Series. Will she be a nominee? (2013 she was) Inquiring minds want to know!!! LOL 😆🙃😁🙃☺️
Fire her ass
The hockey community is jessieraeallen's 'you people'
Fire her ass
Oh, she 'clarified' alright. She made it perfectly clear that she's not remotely sorry for her ignorant comments, and feels completely justified in her bigotry due to her 'lived experiences' (victimhood).
Insert black basketball players instead of white hockey players and suddenly it would be a racist tirade. Your hypocracy knows no bounds FireJessAllen
Ever heard the term “beating a dead horse” . ? You’ve made your point loud and clear by now , you’ve ignored the people on the opposing side who actually had intellectual arguments , so how about we just move on .
He a good Canadian. He successful in his career. People try to pull him to the politic situation. I was listen over and over. He doesn't mean like that. We are Canadian we should respect Canadian culture and spirit. I do agree a lot of Canadian doesn't wear poppy.
Jessica who?
Canadian media is the enemy of the people
Jess Allen is exactly what she opposes. Blind ignorant bias. Don Cherry was fired over being generically ignorant towards certain groups. Her comments are of the same generic ignorance. If she supports his termination for this act, she should support her own termination.
Boycott the Social !!
What she didn’t do was apologize for the hurt her words caused. In fact Jess & her cohosts further antagonized many Cdns by flaunting the high ratings & attention this has produced. They lost our trust & support. We will contact advertisers & boycott until an apology is given.
Why is she clarifying Cherry’s comments? she should deal with the 💩 that came out of her mouth......
Her words were far more divisive than Don’s, she’s not bright......
ctvnews We the Viewers expect this racist ignorant feminist to be firing by days end. Anything less will confirm ALL women's motion forward is actually an attack on males. FireJessAllen firejessicaallen doncherry TheSocialCTV
It's shocking how CTV endorses hate filled racism against identifiable groups in Canada. I haven't heard a blatant racist rant on Canadian TV in a very long time, and this one was significant. Looks like Racism and bigotry is OK with CTV. FireJessAllen
That she feels she said nothing wrong & that she won't be apologizing.
Clarifying is not apologizing which is what she should be doing. She's said things like this after her comments - 'when did you find out you weren't gifted?' & 'I was a prom princess.' Both of which are responses to people who have questioned her comments. To me that shows...
What your host did was no different then what her complaint about DC. She was rude,offensive and stereotyping.
Complete double standard if she does not lose her job for her remarks!!
I think she was quite clear the first time. She thought there was enough anti-Cherry sentiment going around that she could unload her bottled up resentment without any backlash. Well, I hope she thinks it was worth it and feels better now.
Jess Allen obviously wanted to date some “white” kid who played hockey who didn’t want to date her. This is her attempt at revenge — Revile every kid that ever played hockey. Use racist slurs, as well. FireJessAllen cdnpoli
She should be fired plain and simple! Her “clarification” is a joke and CTV should be ashamed of themselves for allowing Jessica Allen to continue....talk about a double standard😡 firejessicaallen
Libtard Cancel Culture spokespsperson went after all kids playing hockey, their parents. So incensed she said these kids shdnt be put in hockey programs, but should be taken on a trip, rather than hv after-school activity. Cdns are tired on cancel culture FireJessAllen cdnpoli
Seems to me Don, clarified his remarks several times. So what’s the difference, actually very simple to explain!!600millionatwork
She wasn't wrong.
She didn’t “clarify” her comments... she dug her hole deeper and now she can’t get out... she’s an embarrassment and a disgrace FireJessAllen
She needs to go
firejessicaallen
So she is given an opportunity to 'clarify' her comments, but not Don. Agree with what don said or not. This is still a double standard.
I won't be watching CTV anytime soon for allowing jessieraeallen to stay on the air. Her comments were more divisive than Cherry's. ctvdoublestandard FireJessAllen
Jess Allen should be fired. Only DC can clarify his words
Sounds like she couldn’t be bothered to even offer an apology on TheSocialCTV if all she said on Wednesday was that she “struck a nerve with many people.' That’s no different than Don Cherry in the aftermath of his comments. ShesNoBetter DoubleStandard
firejessicaallen
She didn’t clarify shit. She needs to be fired.
Clarified? Haha. Give me a break.
Why does the article not mention if the author reached out to CTV News for comment on her 'controversial' comments? I am curious to know where CTV stands on this and fully expect the same caliber of reporting that was given to Don Cherry's 'controversial' comments.
“You hockey people”?
She is not very nice, for saying this.
FireJessAllen
FireJessAllen
She is the norm now the hypocritical cry baby strikes again.
FireJessAllen now!!
FireJessAllen how is it ok for one person to be offensive, and not for another ctv everyone should be treated equally!!
Pretty much hit the nail on the head. Try being a figure skater, hockey players making catcalls to the girls , humiliating comments to the boys. Younger kids putting their sticks on the ice while the skaters are skating. Then their reward 'adulation'.
Well I guess there still is one thing left to do FireJessAllen
So jessieraeallen gets a chance to clarify statements which offended thousands upon thousands of ppl yet DonCherry isn’t afforded the same chance...& Sportsnet FIRES him...on REMEMBRANCE DAY? Utter B. S. !! Double standard. Hypocrisy! 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
_FareedB_ what do you think, fire the skunk or no?
If we don't want to have these conversations about stuff like this in a game that we love. Then we must change the culture if the sport. We must raise our children to not act like privlaged little brats. And the culture will change.
We can all agree that sometimes our mouth gets ahead of our brain and wish that the self-edit button was instantaneous. I can definitely see where Jess Allen’s point of view was coming from - childhood memories cut deep. The show is a forum for opinions and she expressed hers.
In my experience being born & raised in Canada. I have met very many nice young men who played hockey both for schools & in jr leagues. I have also met some who should have been beaten in a back alley. Some of whome have gone on to become good ppl & have gone on to have
She clarified alright. Ignorantly and foolishly. So what's CTV going to do about it?
It amazes me that so many celebs and politicians still don't get the simple concept of STFU!
She needs to be fired, can’t have it both ways!
FireJessAllen IStandWithDonCherry
Publicity whore ...... if it wasn’t for Don Cherry falling on a sword, she’d still be tryin to make a living copying the View.
Double standard or what?! We already won’t watch CBC in our house, then SportsNet and now CTV! Time to cancel cable kids. This country has gone to shit.
She should be fired, she is a bigot, and a racist! FireJessAllen
It's okay that she said this said because she ticks more diversity boxes than Cherry.
Do the right thing CTV and FIRE her! I am offended and appalled at her shallow minded comments.
Clearly talks about how she thinks Don Cherry is a racist and bigot and then goes on to say he is a representation of hockey players firejessallen
Boring
Not good enough doublestandard FireJessAllen
FireJessAllen
An elderly white man is fired for saying ‘you people’ (which he has said consistently over the past thirty years) and a young white woman bigot who not only generalized but literally painted her hateful canvass all white is still employed?
What a double standard you’re using. Why does she get to keep her job?
Fire her ass
Still racist. FireJessAllen
She didn't even clarify what she said!! FireJessAllen if you don't then I suggest don gets his job back
She should be fired
Enough of reporting on this old prejudice gezzier. Cast him aside, his glory days are on borrowed time.
Oh, I see. So SHE gets a chance to clarify, but for DonCherryIsRight .... Off with 'is head! Please explain yourselves, CTV?
Fired.
Nope. Can her
All the white folks saying hockey is inclusive...
I don’t like how she thinks it’s ok to go on a racial rant literally a few days after Don Cherrys rant that ended his life long career. Seriously don’t want to see anyone loose their jobs but honestly this should have big consequences just the same!
For those who are all 'hockey has different races!' maybe listen instead of denying the racism that exists in hockey.
Just let me no when she is fired
she literally 'freaked out' on television that Trudeau apologized but Cherry didn't......hmmmm, neither did she
Who needs her opinion. Enough already
Ok snowflakes now that one of your own has segregated a group of hard working people. Said they are bigoted, mean and basically illiterate call for her neck to be put on the chopping block. I'm guessing none of you will because it is white males she is talking about.
Nope! Not buying it.
CTV_PR maybe it's time to fire these bigots.
But it doesn't matter what she meant, it matters what she said. FireJessAllen
The double standard in the media couldn’t be more obvious . firejessicaallen
Mostly the fact that she said to go on a trip with the hockey money. Guess you can’t be apart of the local community or play sports now huh ....
Not only Jess Allen has to go but the entire cast of the Social needs to go as well. Grelo today announced the entire show front and behind the scenes supports Allen. The Social clearly is a toxic environment that encourages bigotry and hate.
She should be ashamed of herself.
Left wing media still pushing the divide agenda..CTV CANADA'S BIGGEST EMBARRASSMENT...
This privledged white guy is totally offended! I want a parade, free housing and government handouts!
I see the pattern. When you’re part of the leftist elite you get to clarify or apologize and all is forgiven. Everyone else can be cancelled.
Not to my surprise, there is a double standard in the media, amongst others. This country is headed in the wrong direction. By the time it turns 200 years old it won’t resemble a unified country at all. Let alone still be a country.
FireJessAllen
Sorry, CTV, I don't need clarification from this racist feminazi. Fire her - now.
I come from Hockeylandia and we are always persecuted. People call us Puckheads, Puckface, Stick for brains. It's terrible
He's a real trooper! U people all share the same... stand behind him! U people misunderstood oh must b à India or other folk operate convenience stores. How convenient! Love libbys too? Go enjoy more of free soup. After next election
FireJessAllen
She tried to explain but she did NOT apologize. I played hockey and football with whites, asians, blacks and we had great teams, made good friends...no bullying. I hate being generalized by hate.
Fire that racist woman
FireJessAllen isupportdoncherry
She should be fired!
Clarifies interesting terminology
She shouldn't have stereotyped and generalized. Period. If Cherry got fired, then so does she.
CTVToronto you are enablers of an irrelevant racist on an irrelevant show TheSocialCTV FireJessAllen cancelthesocial . You can’t call out CoachsCornerDC for what he said and not jessieraeallen it just doesn’t work that way! DonCherryIsRight JessAllen thesocial
Really!! She’s clarifying. Come on!! What she said was horrible, discrimatory and extremely offensive. The worst is that she is not in the least bit sorry for it for her offensive comments!!
Fire the racist pig! When its one of their own look no further than this blatant example of double standard. One set of rules for virtue signalling liberals and a whole other set for non members of their sick, nation destroying club lead by a blackface clown FakeNewsMedia
That many words to say you screwed up? And MarciIen just sat there. No need to fire anyone. You all just displayed how sad you are.
Not an apology! She obviously doesnt see her words as hateful or divisive and they were.
Fire her now.
Should she lose her job?
FIRE HER!!
CTV obviously has double standards. She should be fired for her equally “pathetic” views or is there one standard for Don Cherry and another for Libtards? Don’t bother answering - I already know the answer!
Fire this idiot!! Like seriously?!
Yeah well tell this dumb clown that Mr. Don Cherry travelled the world seeing our troops, what is she done for a veterans ?
She clarified nothing. What a farce.
FireJessAllen FireJessAllen FireJessAllen
She knows nothing about hockey or anything else . How can you take her seriously. Dump her and the show
So she doesn’t even get a dlss as p on the wrist after insulting all us and our children . She deserves no less the Cherry got .
As a role model cherry made racist and misogynistic comments all the time. There she is not wrong but not all hockey players are like that. If she apologizes indeed no issue. Cherry has openly vilified others without apology for decades. Hardly the same.
Cynthia used 'you people' referring to the sports community. cancelthesocial
This lady should not be employed by CTV. Just boycott Ctv/Bell
'Clarifies'? That's one of a helluva joke!!! Nothing to be clarified racist and bigoted comments!!! She WAS pretty clear.
She should be fired . Obviously she never enjoyed sports and blames anyone who loves the sport as privaledged bullies. The show is pretty bad with four “privileged women who some have their job due to her husband and not their ability.
Fire her or ask for a detailed apology. What she said was pure 100% hate to an audience containing those peole she hates
'The Social'. lol!
I was a fan of hers until yesterday, I think Jess should be fired immediately for her caustic and grossly biased comments similar to Mr. Cherry.
There honestly should not be any double standards, what is good for the goose...
another NoLore. Bitter from high school because she never got laid by a jock.
She should 100% be fired. FireJessAllen
FireJessAllen
Fire her
Jessica got so worked up I thought she would wet herself.
FireJessAllen
ZERO clarification needed! Bye Felicia!! If CTV TheSocialCTV don't fire her you are a pure joke!!
What she said was direct and not open to interpretation like Dons comments. If she isn’t fired it shows what a double standard exists between how comments from different genders are punished and the fraud this entire thing really is.
When does she get fired.
hjauck
Okay to be racist and bigoted because it was her “personal experience“? (She experienced it differently Wow. First off Don Cherry never stated a race or colour like she did but wasnt it his personal experience when he observed people downtown not wearing poppies? FireJessAllen
FireJessAllen
She also never addressed the condemning of families spending they’re hard earned money on they’re kids sports instead of using it for vacation? This was not an apology and felt more like she doubled down in her original statements😡
She should be fired. Do left wing supporters get different standards from the CRTC? If she not fired we will cancel everything to do with Bell Media as we do not support double standards. Or her raciest opinions! FireJessAllen
A bunch of people butt-hurt over Cherry getting fired for generalizing about immigrants now want someone fired for generalizing about hockey players!?! People a weird.
The poppy is a flower used since 1921 to commemorate military personnel who have died in war. Not wearing it doen't disrespect Veterans who fought or died. Communication is 5% words, 15% tone, 80% body language. Cherry seems to have failled on all fronts. Clarify that
Look at all those not nice white boys like Carey Price, Sidney Crosby, Mitch Marner and all the Canadian boys playing in the NHL. Of all the professional leagues, seems like hockey players are the most humble.
She could have selected a better choice of words. She did exactly what she accused Don Cherry of doing-not right, hypocritical racial slur against white hockey players. I am done with that show.
I totally expect CTV to fire jessieraeallen. You can't really allow this double standard. I couldn't believe my eyes when she was in the show today. FireJessAllen
FireJessAllen
She needs to go anger management classes, after she’s fired FireJessAllen
Not good enough. firejessicaallen Shes a hateful person. She added to the divide by painting a group w a broad brush.
CTV what do you have to say about your role in enflaming public discourse by promoting rage bait?
FireJessAllen
This woman needs to be fired for her comments. They where flat out racist.
This woman seem selfish and self centred. Probably doesn’t have kids if she does they must not be a load to play sports. Found her offensive putting all white boys that play hockey/sports in the same category. Not saying what Cherry said was right but she’s no better
FireJessAllen
CTV, what Allen said was just as racist as Trudeau wearing BLACKFACE multiple times. Allen and Trudeau should both be removed because of their Racist and divisive views. Allen even personally attacked DC with vulgar comments. This is unacceptable and she needs to be removed.
No, she really is a racist.
What is wrong with you ctv? You have racists and bigots on your show!
100% needs to be fired!!! no need for 'clarification'. especially right after don, she knew what she was saying and didnt care
She is a racist that needs to be fired!! If it’s good enough to Hold don cherry to this political correctness damn sure calling all white hockey players bullies is way off side FIRE THIS RACIST
Fire her!
So Jess clarifies and says she didn't mean all white hockey players. Grapes also didn't specify all the 'you people', just those who don't wear a poppy. And he clarifies his position as well. So they both deserve to be fired or niether deserves to be fired.
Clarified?
DEAL WITH IT: Jess, it’s 2020 all sports are not just for WHITE Kids. Or BOYS. Many are even Coed. While your comment proved you are stereotyping everyone. You need to be educated on how big CANADAS SPORTS are for Canadians. Just Because you HATE Sports. Clip your CLAWS.
Almost every nationality is represented proportionately as well as some excellent female players. FireJessAllen
Her non apology justification for her racist bigoted hate speech is not acceptable, what she said was far worse than anything Mr. Cherry said. She should be fired, not applauded for her hate filled tirade.
TheSocialCTV Loving the publicity!! - doesn’t make her ignorant rant right.
As long as ‘you people’ is whites it’s ok. Doesn’t anyone understand the rules? Look, just don’t take the bait and buy smart and the woke go broke, as always!
Nice try jessieraeallen , CTV and TheSocial. She blew it and there’s no turning back, hockey players and hockey parents around Canada are not happy.
That all changed when he went on Tucker Carlson's show.
She is obviously not aware of what happens in minor hockey, that is not a reason to be fired! People looking to add collateral damage to Cherry being let go. Firing a mom is not going to bring him back or change what he said. She is right the majority is still white ppl
Her comments were 1000 times worse than Cherry’s but no outrage from the left
Fire this person CTV TheSocialCTV
She should be fired
These women hate men
I support the dismissal of Don Cherry. His comment was bigoted and he does not apologize for that. I also don't think two wrongs make a right and Jessica Allen did pretty much the same thing as he did by indicating all people who watch hockey are of the same mindset.
Was never a fan of Cherry but saw that interview and felt he had good intentions but is old and has poor communication skills. Jess Allen was actively malign and needs to suffer the consequences. FireJessAllen
What a double standard! She was allowed to explain what she meant but he wasn't? Hypocrisy at it's finest FireJessAllen
Is he was only speaking to her own experiences. Basically that is what Cherry was doing. He was fired because of people like Allen sitting atop their high horses. She should be fired for her highly divisive rant. Don’t paint all “white” people with the same brush.
It was not good. Best to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are dumb than open it and prove they are right.
IStandWithDonCherry FireJessAllen
Don Cherry is a racist Bigot for wanting every Canadian including immigrants to respect our veterans and buy popey's Gets fired. Jessica Allen calls all hockey player rich white bullys and suggests Don Cherry is the embodiment of the poison hockey culture. Doesn't matter.
Nobody actually wants her fired, cares if she is fired, or cared for her opinion. What people seem to really want is some standard application of the rules. Bigotry against one group seems fine, but not against another. She should keep her job,but take criticism for this.
FireJessAllen Since when did it become okay to be bigoted against white males? She’s a clear bigot and her racist views should get her fired
The only real difference is Ms Allen didn’t preface her remarks with you people. Condemnation of a group based on the example of a few is wrong. I’m not a hockey parent nor a viewer of the Social so offer my opinion simply as a reader.
Fire her
Fire her ! moron
Who the fuck watches TheSocialCTV ?
I watched the statement. Her eyes did not leave the teleprompter telling me that this statement was written by someone else and I don’t think I missed it but no apology
I don’t think she should be fired for her racist comments. However, you cannot have it both ways. Either the CancelCulture applies to all people and we kill free speech altogether, or they both are allowed to provide their opinions. Anything else is hypocrisy
FIRE HER
She is on a talk show. The Canadian version of The View and generally they are expected to have opinions and express them. Don Cherry is expected to have opinions about hockey. And Sporsnet been wanting to get rid of him. No one came to his defence. Not the NHL or the Legion
Should change the name to Social Disease! CTV'S government owned Henchmen!!!
Wtf is there to clarify? Grapes lost it and said things that a whole lot of people found offensive. Go away you dinosaur.
This Jessica Allen is a bigot, plain and simple. Her remarks where very racially segmented. FireJessAllen
UNACCEPTABLE ... “white boys”, “bullies”, “That Type” should get out of our arena and expand ourselves by travelling. Really? These comments are racist, hurtful and UNACCEPTABLE . MAKE SURE YOU REPORT HER ON YOUR NEWSCAST.
She destroyed herself a few moments later when she used the words 'you people'. She and the show is a joke at best
So hypocritical! I am not saying she should be fired because I do not wish losing their job on anyone however her remarks are completely unacceptable! There should definitely be repercussions.
Good thing she’s irrelevant
What she said today was just as bad. I think she hates white males!
FireJessAllen
So why is Jess Allen held to the same degree of accountability as Don Cherry ? firejessallen
Thats so true..some of those white boys in minor hockey are racist pigs..and thats from years of experience!!! No lie
So is this “woman ‘splaining”? Asking for a friend.
Big question.....who is Jess Allen?
What she said is offensive and racist. FireJessAllen
So by the leftists own standards she should be fired or resign! Am I playing the outrage game right libs? CancelCulture DonCherryIsRight
There is NO excuse. Taking shots at “white boys” FAR eclipses “you people” being told to support our Vets. FireJessAllen
Appearing on FOX news network with Tucker Carlson is all I need to know
FireJessAllen
FireJessAllen
How does her clarification make what she said any less racist than what he said or Implied? At least, he never said anything about skin colour. There was no question about which race she was insulting.
So the mob allows Jessica the opportunity to provide an explanation, but with Cherry, they immediately demanded he be fired. Much like how they support our PM blackface.
Her opinion is worthless
CTV , these comments generalizing that hockey fans are typically white boys, rich , bullies and not generally nice is beyond acceptable , you can’t wash these comments under the rug by just saying it’s from your experience with “these types “who worship at the alter of hockey
She needs to go!
What!?!? The!?!?!? F!?!!?! This is so not good enough!! TheSocialCTV are you going to take a stance and remove her? She did not apologize- she defended her statement Don Cherry was also merely talking about what he saw and his experience. Joke!!
Blah Blah from another cunning stunt
She didn’t clarify anything. But at least she was afforded the opportunity to do so, something that was denied to Don Cherry. She said it was her experience, wasn’t it Don Cherry’s experience too? I don’t want her fired, the conversation of double standards needs to happen.
She should be fired or suspended.
So she explains that “it was her experience with white male hockey players” but Cherry’s comments weren’t his observations 🙄
FireJessAllen
Fire the bitch NOW
Fire her ass!!
Was gonna read and then changed my mind.
FireJessAllen
She won’t get fired. Can you imagine the firestorm if someone actually fired a woman for, not unlike Don Cherry, running her mouth with her brain in neutral?
So she gets to clarify and keep her job, but Don Cherry doesn't get the opportunity? Figures. DonCherryIsRight CancelCulture
FireJessAllen
Double standard it seems.
Jessica is an ignorant tool apparently
I'm sorry ctv what she said was not right and should have same as Cherry
She said, 'all tended to be white boys who weren't, let's say, very nice.' Which is a direct “racist and bigoted” statement...according to the definition...”the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race,” - is she being fired?
Her comments are kinda true tho… tbh letterkenny embodied the stereotype perfectly especially in the “produce stand” skit… js
Is that what she did?
I guess she doesn't understand that Don Cherry is a great Canadian that can see things around him the way most Canadians do unfortunately some people don't understand him...Great Don Cherry....always the best..silly lady!!
'all tended to be white boys who weren't, let's say, very nice.' Canada is a winter country with winter sports. Hockey Curling Speed Skating Figure Skating Skiing Snowboarding Bobsleigh Luge etc etc. Many cultures nationalities ALL people enjoy these, not just white boys.
There’s nothing to “clarify”. She’s a racist, sexist hate-spewing talking head. If TheSocialCTV and CTV stand by her, they are guilty of the same. Her words were vile and full of hate for a large segment of 🇨🇦 kids and their families. Shameful.
Clarifies? She should be fired immediately! Her comments and the whole hearted support of her colleagues were racist and demeaning, to white boys and All Canadians who enjoy hockey! TheSocialCTV needs to be disbanded now!
Ok cool. She’s been fired right ?
Now do her!! WE want Justice. Doublestandards!
Parent of son now an adult. He played. Hockey through early life .... She is right
I’m soooo tired of this bullshit! We have so many more important things to discuss!!half the animal population is endangered or extinct, our planet is dying, plastic is killing us and our oceans ...Who cares!!!!! Grow a thicker skin!
Cool. When is she being fired? Because what she said is far more racist than what Cherry said...
Can we please get all the stupid people off the air?
NothingworksDan
Ironically jessieraeallen does something similar as Don Cherry, if not worse, by associating a skin colour to her comments and she walks away free. No repercussions? What happened to equality? It's ok for one but not the other? What a world we live in. Smfh. FireJessAllen
She’s as ignorant as him.
She should be fired and The Social should be cancelled... embarrassing and pathetic
How does she clarify Cherry comments? Can you clarify that for me?
The Liberal outrage mob strikes again. Any emotional tiff and they can't survive unless someone's life is ruined. They try to explain the subjective as objective but if the tables are turned so do they.
Get rid of her !!
What a joke! IStandWithDonCherry Imagine if Jess Allen had said “Poor black boys” in reference to basketball instead of “Rich white boys” in reference to hockey. If Cherry is gone, she should be as well. Unacceptable double standard! Bring back Cherry!
She sounds like quite the bigot!
no one cares go away cherry
Jessica Allen's comments were worse......she specifically mentioned a race, which Don Cherry did not. But I guess it's woke to insult and discriminate against white people these days.
Not good enough. Where is the apology? Still very offended. She was so quick to condemn Don Cherry, think she should learn a bigger lesson here...there are always consequences for every action. What will hers be?!
Canadians have a double standard.
I don't think she has been to a hockey arena lately. There are many different nationalities playing, coaching and officiating minor hockey.
And he should talk about only sports. Jess doesn’t know anything about hockey or sports yet she can talk about it. Double standard. The social should ,are a statement saying we don’t support Jess comments and issue an apology and fire he stupid ass. What a hypocrite
FireJessAllen Her racist rant should not be tolerated in today’s society. The Producers of The Social need to fire this “Woke Racist”!
Not good enough. She needs to go, what she said is 1000 times worse than anything Cherry has said. Can't believe this trash is employed by CTV
do hockey moms watch the social ?
Ruffled feathers?
Yet she says in her experience. That doesn’t make it right. In Cherry experience, he spoke out. No apology was given from her nor anyone on the show. Melissa decided to say we all support her. That’s our show to talk about things. First they Rip Don about talking poppies,
big oof.
Well they never fired Marci when she went on her rant over her driving violation and the police officer.
Isn’t that double standards ?
FireJessAllen
Oh NO --- You cannot 'clarify' racist, hate speech. NO NO NO NO NO Calling 600 000 little boys privileged and bullies for the crime of playing hockey and being white ---- NO NO NO
And here’s the main stream media backing a left wing nut job.
well the outrage mob has given so such courtesy to Mr Cherry, so i expect CTV will do the right thing here.
Oh she’s allowed to clarify?
