Probably not a surprise to anyone that knew Don Cherry. Definitely will be a bit conflicting for many Canadians but I doubt many will really oppose this.
Loose thoughts:
Sportsnet, Rogers, the NHL, and Cherry's co-host of 30 years instantly apologized. Don Cherry still hasn't. Kudos to all those people for jumping on this immediately, not waiting for any outside pressure before apologizing. Might be the fastest I've seen any organization (let alone two and a person involved) respond.
All he has talked about is supporting the troops, but nothing about the actual message about immigrants he did articulate. Not a peep.
He got fired on Remembrance Day over his rant about Remembrance Day, lol.
After decades of going after Quebecois, Russians, women, and countless other groups, his crazy immigrant rant is what did him in.
Of fucking course Joe Warmington gets the scoop. Doug Ford goes to that guy too when he wants to put something out there. Warmington, and the garbage rag he writes for, are scumbags. I don't think Cherry going running to Warmington is going to have the effect he hopes it will.
Poor Ron MacLean. I get the feeling he's been tired of Don Cherry's shit since almost the very beginning. He must be among the most patient people in history.

When it comes to working with Cherry his job was often to smile and nod but if you grow accustomed to the pair you'll notice the awkward looks and embarrassed faces. I'm not going to get video working with my Firefox setup on nationalpost.com but if there is a youtube link or something I'll check it out. Either way Ron has always been a decent, thoughtful and all around more knowledgeable person than Don. If he looks bad here that's unfortunate, but probably not the first time it's happened in the decades he's been working with Cherry. It must be a constant battle to not insult Cherry to his face while also avoid looking like you're agreeing with him on his bullshit. Not an enviable position, I would think.

Huh? I have no idea who these people are, but he was enthusiastically agreeing in the video in the OP.

Ron Maclean has a 30 year long career of either smiling and nodding politely or getting told to shut up by Don Cherry, live on the air.
