Firing him was the right move. It should have happened quietly years ago, and everyone who has watched Coaches Corner in the past knows Don Cherry is not a quiet man. He's brash, outspoken, and I don't think I've ever seen him change his stance on any hot take.
That's his character flaw unfortunately.
And as much as I respect him as an ambassador for hockey, for the Royal Canadian Legion and for Canada, I don't think his argument of 'us' and 'them' is a fair take for Canada as a country.
What hurts me the most as a fan who grew up watching HNIC every Saturday is seeing all the people who, I can guarantee, have never seen a single segment of Coaches Corner take aim at him for one of his hundreds of crazy ramblings. If they did they would know:
- He is passionate
- He is patriotic
- He has the balls to voice his opinion
- He is senile as ****
Hell half the reason I watched Coaches Corner was to laugh, maybe agree, maybe disagree, but always end up saying "Hahaha that crazy old man"
Sorry grapes, you had a sour take on this one.
