You don't think Don's good buddy Ron MacLean and network people that worked closely with Don weren't privy to what Cherry said off air and what he was capable of? This was a guy that in the 80's and 90's would pick on european players that came into the league. A guy that grinded Brian Burke for having too many american players on the Leafs. We all know that. We all know what Don Cherry is about. Ron, Rogers, and everyone else were totally fine with what Don was as long as he was the golden goose. Keep him on air as long as possible and once he slipped up they just wiped their hands clean and moved on. It's disgusting IMO.
