I stopped watching Coaches Corner 10 years ago due to Cherry "losing touch."
Not suprised in the least they fired him for his comments. He's literally hated Europeans for years...can't pronounce players names proporly to save his life (regardless which Country they are from) and usually spends his segment to "Prove" he was right the week before. Is there ever a counter point of view said during a Coaches Corner that gets the "proof" the week after? Nope. Totally one sided opinion, which is what they pay him for and I get that. He should have just stuck to talking about "Hockey" and not about "you People."
Sure he's done a lot for the sport but the guy is 85 and it shows.
Sorry for the rant...

No need to apologize at all.

It was like 6 or 7 years ago myself and few buds were watching coaches corner and he looked like he was starting to go senile and I dont mean that disrespectfully. He was screwing up his words and forgetting poop...there was dead air for seconds a few times. This kind of thing was repeating itself on the broadcasts back then. We thought for sure back around then he wouldnt be on the air much longer...

I think cherry is an idiot I just don’t know how anyone could be offended by what he said unless they are an absolute moron with no perspective on life.

This.

He was entertaining because he’s a loud mouthed bumhole. Nobody took his perspective on hockey seriously. Now everyone is shocked he said something an bumhole would say?

Speak for yourself there bud, youre softer than babypoop

Lmao you can’t call someone soft when you report posts.

I hear ya...my friends and I were thinking the same things back then too. I'm actually suprised it took as long as it did.

I dont know if thats entirely true...in my neck of the Canadian woods it was said today on one of our local radios that they could play all the phoned in messages about Cherry being fired consecutively without break and it would last until tomorrow sometime...they also said about 75% of these callers support Cherry and are against his firing. Interestingly enough though, about 75% of our population (in my neck of the Canadian woods) voted for Liberal (Trudeau/blackface)....so that doesn't add up to what you and others think regarding this.

That blackface poop was like 20 years ago at an Arabian Nights themed party for the school he was a teacher at, not on national television two nights ago haha.

I wasn’t implying anyone defending cherry wouldn’t also support PM blackface.

Exactly. We are talking about a dude that intentionally pronounced European players names wrong and would ramble on about a good ole Canadian boy for something stupid like a blocked shot. It was basically parody.

Big issue for sportsnet is the precedence they have now set. Gotta fire anyone that says anything remotely offensive now.

Yes this is 100% true...and probably a good thing.

At this point, the constant female doging about the female doging is more annoying than the blogs...how far are you willing to go?

I don't think the rangers are really that bad, 7-6-2. +0 Goal difference. I don't think they are good, but they definitely are not trash.

They are absolute trash just like your first sentence.

Someone brought up on twitter that he refused to have Euro's on his OHL team and they won a total of 16 games in the first 3 season combined.

It’s like people who go to see comedians known for being offensive and then getting offended at their jokes.

Sure if you want boring vanilla coverage of a game that desperately needs some personality.

I was dying when Trump Jr. called that old hag on the View out for wearing black face as an African queen on Halloween. She’s like “I did not” meanwhile you can go back to the view and hear her say “I was an African queen.” That poop was hilarious. Also called Whoopy our for saying Polanski didn’t “rape-rape” those 14 year old girls lol.

Indeed you didn't ...and I wasn't implying that you did. Just giving an example that where I live around 75% of people support Cherry AND voted for PM blackface.

It's almost as if left/right isn't black and white and there's a pile of grey around and within us.

Either way. (frank) the government.

To be honest, that’s the way that it should it. Technically it should all be grey. The idea that poop is only two sided is so dated.

Like I said earlier, I haven't watched Coaches Corner in 10 years and so I'm already used to "Vanilla coverage."

Yeah I don’t watch HNIC because I see enough maple leafs knob gobbling elsewhere but the point is it gets even worse when there’s firings for even the slightest offensive comments.

It should be 100% black because the government should cease to exist.

No, frank that. He deserved. He deserved it 20 years ago.

Not trying to look too much into it but Sullivan wouldn’t answer if he would rule Sid out for Saturday.

Cherry is a clown and sure he should have been gone long ago but the way he was canned sets a bad precedent
