Given that Actual Remembrance Day moment of silence is on the 11th minute of the 11th hour and Everyone in the pacific time zone was doing this at 12:11 MT, I think the Brass at Rogers strategically had it timed that Cherry’s firing was announced 12:30pm (20 min as a buffer)
Why this is important is because:
1) I think they truly wanted to give Cherry enough time to change his mind and apologize
2) they didn’t want this to become a distraction leading up until the ceremonies held coast to coast
3) once the ceremonies were over, all public attention would now be completely focused on this issue. waiting any longer for his firing would have snowball even further on Remembrance Day and damage Sportsnet’s brand and reputation
Rogers/Sportsnet knew exactly when they would fire Cherry
