Tell me about the rabbits, George
I just saw the documentary on Detroit's Red Line last week, and getting this news today after seeing his comments about Federov and the guys is very satisfying.

no he was terrible and his opinions were bad but they were bad in a very unique way that was extremely funny. hockey is slightly less interesting because of it, even if it is Good And Just

Thanks, humanity
Is this going to make so many horrible people with good old conservative values so mad, that they make the world a worse place than it would have been with Don Cherry on air, is what I think about whenever things like this happen.

Maybe that just stupid spectrum talking, but I'm so down on how the world is going nowadays.

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.

Yeah, I think long term he was done regardless, but if he wasn’t a piece of poo poo about it, they probably would have would have “let him retire” Bob Cole style at the end of the year rather than telling him to GTFO.

Same ok boomer views about hockey, but replacing the “support are troops” segment with a weekly pro-LGBTQ+ rant would be hilariously awesome.

Oh yeah, a forums prize to whoever finds the full video of the Christmas 2007 Coach's Corner, where he goes from ranting about Andrew Ference and environmentalism, to Chris Simon and indigenous peoples, to an image of a big pile of ammo. Part of it is still on youtube as "don cherry on natives" and it's also the origin for the excerpt that starts Dear Coach's Corner. It used to be on youtube in full as "DON CHERRY IS EFFIN CRAZY" but it's been gone for years now.
