Question though: can we still use the theme song to Coach’s Corner for something? Because no matter what you think of the guy it was associated with, that track is loving boss. Hopefully something not racist this time.

Good riddance. Not looking forward to the conservative outrage machine that will froth at the mouth about this, but it's still worth it.

yeah good riddance, I don't know who the audience was that was even keeping the piece of poo poo on the air. Nobody from where I am cares one bit about Don Cherry, I don't expect anyone will even mention it at work tomorrow. Maybe this sacrifice is enough to get the Maple Leafs a Stanley Cup.

As with all racists, if Don had thought for three seconds about things and not singled out immigrants and chastised everyone who doesn't buy a poppy he'd be celebrated right now. What an idiot.

A blessed day.ThinkTank posted: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. Nah, he didn't deserve to go out on his terms and get some celebration tour. I'm glad he's going out shamefully.

I remember when I was a teen and there was talk of firing him for bad mouthing french-canadian hockey players, which is something we all can support. In retrospect he probably should have been fired into the sun around 1981 or so. gently caress, this was in 2002 or whatever and he is obviously lost it years before.

My girlfriend doesn’t really know who Don Cherry is and when I played that clip for her she audibly gasped when he said the really bad parts For hockey fans who are used to him is bad. For casual fans and everyone else it’s much, much worse and I think he was going to get the axe for this no matter what

It's ramped up in latter years, but Don was well-known for getting almost every player's name wrong. He got multiple names wrong in the last Coaches Corner, including Henrik Lundqvist.

A fun game is looking at the people who responded negatively to that sportsnet twitter post, going to their profiles and seeing how many have not recently retweeted some anti Muslim rhetoric. It's harder than you think!
