He’s 80-fucking-5 years old.

 

Truly a shame that a horrible 85 years old person got his career cut short so early for constantly saying horrible things on air for like 35 years.

 

Fuck cherry, fuck Rogers/cbc, and fuck every shill that comes out lamenting cherry being fired (throw in the cowards who've been eerily quiet about all this too).

 

oh no this mean steve dangle is now the face of HNIC doesn't it

 

Here I was thinking he'd be fired

 

Are they... are they good?

 

Ron flat out saying he was wrong instead of pulling the whole "we're sorry to anyone who was offended" horseshit was surprising. Didn't think they would actually fire him because the old guard drives so much of their viewership and most of them share the same shitty viewpoints. Guess the blowback finally got to them. I don't know why it took until just now. What he said was disgusting but this is like strike 100000 for him. That full clip from Dear Coaches Corner about First Nations people would have gotten most people canned in a normal situation.

 

Don Cherry’s Firing Was Overdue—but the Problems He Represented Remain

 

Comes to put it back: "Oh well, I guess it's mine now"

 

So glad Cherry was fired. He's been spewing horse shit for decades.

 

yikes

Here's a short thread with insight into the firing:

Bart Yabsley was appointed to the post like less than a month ago

 

Huh, I knew that they got rid of Kypreos and some of the other meatheads over the summer but they had cold feet with Don. I feel like I'm watching a broadcast from 30 years ago whenever I watch Sportsnet (especially HNIC) so it makes sense that they want to move forward.

 

You hate to see it!

 

Haha ok well who is gonna be shocked when he thrives on a new team that isn’t molten hot trash

 

Detroit is hot trash but I would take him with a sweetener

 

Jaw dropper

 

me

because he is terrible

 

Or how about how he probably doesn't give two absolute fucks for being cut because, get this, he's still getting paid and is only here for the money and LA living.

 

NBC stole my line but pretend I said it

Also that pass wow

 

If the Ducks lose to Detroit tonight I’m leaving civilization forever.

 

NBC and Richter both trapped in 2013 with that phrase
