I just think he is who he is and that is what makes him Don Cherry. If he was just another boring analyst, talking the same hot garbage, Coaches Corner wouldn't have the same ratings. For a VERY long time, it was the highest rated segment on Canadian TV and it still may be. Viewers aren't turning into the segment to see Ron's head nod and his white shirt and blue tie, it's for the crazy and sometimes, spot on takes from Don and his outfits.

no, its not new to me. my disagreement with you is that don cherry doesn't get a racism pass just because hes don cherry and that's his thing, which seems to be the basis of your argument. agree to disagree.
