This merits its own thread. https://twitter.com/joe_warmington/status/1193974618404655104 Joe Warmington is plugged in to the Rob Ford Don Cherry part of the world, so if he's reporting this there's a good chance it's legit.

Wow, I thought Grapes would die on air before he would be fired. Is Barstool going to sign him?

drat, I expected him to die doing it. Likely by Ron's hands on camera. Knowing our luck, Coach's Corner will continue with Milbury because nothing good can come of this

Well that's a thing. Was there really any other way this would end? It wasn't even his most vile comments that led to him being let go. Just the most out of touch with the social mores. I'm certainly not sorry to see him go after that, but man it's a little sad to see such an institution dumped so unceremoniously. Perhaps it would have been best he'd been quietly let go over the summer like it was rumoured. I can't wait to see the agonizingly awkward Ron McLean "apology" and explanation during next week's broadcast. That and Don's next interview which will definitely include the phrases "too sensitive" and "PC leftists." RIP coach's corner. You sucked yet were somehow better than anything else the CBC did WHO'S READY FOR MORE CHEVY IDESK?!

As I posted in the thread good gently caress him and gently caress anyone who's ever defended him for whatever reason giving racist shitheads a pass because "well he's just been there for so long and it's just part of the show" is a lovely loving thing

Nah the rumour was they wanted to fire him over the summer, this is just a great excuse. He costs way too much these days. Paying some replaceable young broadcaster to read tweets live on air is far cheaper.

I'm actually surprised he was fired. I fully expected that they'd just keep him on then let him go at the end of the season. Too bad his replacement is going to be Brian Burke and not somebody who's actually worth watching and listening to.

Freedom of Speech in Canada is dead.Our PM JustinTrudeau can wear blackfaces and have sex with minors and hey that's okay PATHETIC. #IStandWithCherry quote:A Canadian icon down the drain for what? quote:Far left hockey twitter is sooo excited to see Don Cherry ousted. They got the one person that disagreed with them on things off the air. Pure leftist unity in the entire NHL media now, hooray! quote:Wow - He's the ONLY reason I watch!

i'm gonna miss calling him a shithead and arguing about it, rip. time to replace him with 2-3 faceless suits with no character. he was at least sometimes interesting, unlike milbury or roenick or anything we have stateside where it's clear it's just entirely put-upon

also lmfao at anyone giving credit to any company that fires him when he's been exactly this person for 30-40 years and they've finally made the determination that this loses them 51% of their desired viewer base
