I think the line "I’m just appealing to your sense of fair play" could be written as "I’m just appealing to your sense of 'fair play'" in reference to the Fair Play initiative from Hockey Canada that guides parents, players, and fans to be fair and respectful to each other (behavior, inclusiveness, etc) and HNiC always pushes this initiative as much as they can, but Cherry doesn't exactly act within it's guidelines (xenophobic, crass, and disrespectful commentary), almost seeming like a request for them to practice what they preach
