Bobby Orr came out and said Cherry is not a bigot and didn’t deserve to be fired, if Ron was actually his friend he’d use that platform with everyone watching to do the same. That’s not mutually exclusive with disagreeing with dons words, a true friend would make that point. If Ron does actually believe that Cherry is a bigot, which is possible, then why are you calling him your friend. It’s a pretty big wiener move. From their 30 year relationship either you believe Cherry is a bigot in which case why are you saying he’s your friend and you love him, or you know he’s not a bigot but you’re too big of a coward to say anything defending your friend. Weak sauce from Maclean.

Because Maclean doesn’t agree with Cherry’s “you people” message. He’s mentioned it at least a couple of times in his speech. Cherry has taught him that he should stand for his beliefs and that is what Maclean is doing, Standing his ground against Cherry’s rant
It’s still possible to be friends with someone and disagree with their views. Think Xavier and Magneto
