If he refuses to address his comments I think Sportsnet is justified in pulling the segment.

Crazy. Glad I watched that game and saw this live. Cherry is a joke but he was still a staple of Saturday’s in Canada growing up.

With that said. His time was up

I'm guessing they gave him the option to apologize and he refused.

Cancel culture at its finest. I don’t even agree with what Don said but he shouldn’t have lost his job over this. Sportsnet is the worst.

Well, I guess you die the hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain

Why not? He was for sure offered a chance to apologize.

You're right. He should have lost his job long before this.

I think his "legacy" is an unapologetic old school coach. Not sure if he gives a ####. I think he is probably a bit angry if anything.

Just what I think though.

Not surprised.

You could see by Ron Maclean’s words yesterday that business daddy was requiring apologies, including mention of the values of Rogers and Sportsnet

I could see this dividing people more in your country if he indeed is so popular.
