IT’S TIME FOR BRIAN BURKE TO REPLACE DON CHERRY ON HOCKEY NIGHT IN CANADA
Don Cherry's offensive comments during Saturday's Coach's Corner segment should be the final straw. It's time to move on.

In 1988, two years after Cherry began his run on Coach’s Corner, Jimmy the Greek had some vile things to say about African Americans that got him fired from CBS Sports. That was more than 30 years ago. What Cherry said has never had a place in the public discourse, but in 2019 it’s inexcusable. Not including his one season when he ran the Mississauga IceDogs of the Ontario League into the ground, it has been almost 40 years since Cherry stood behind a bench. His run on Coach’s Corner after a stint of being an “average coach” (Harry Sinden’s words, not mine) was longer than anyone could have imagined, but it’s clearly time to put an end to it.

I have to wonder if Cherry is prepared to speak like this on national television, how ugly must be his real thoughts when not under the spotlight?
