Don Cherry Destroyed By Former Sportsnet Host
Don Cherry is still one of the most recognizable faces in hockey. The former broadcaster is no stranger to media scrutiny, and he is still often trending online.
Former Sportsnet host Tara Sloane was prompted to comment on Cherry after his recent time on the trending page.
I like(d) Don as a person because, like many of us, he wasn't just one thing. But I loathed his perspective, more and more as the years went by
He sort of tolerated Hometown Hockey but was jealous of Ron (MacLean's) other job/co-host,» she continued. «He thought we were soft and woke and focused on too much outside of hockey. HTH wasn't for everyone, so that didn't bother me
He had some good points He has tons of charisma, which is why he stayed on air for so long. But this incessant and nostalgic elevating of Don as some figure who we should look to as a hockey and political leader? Come ON.
She ended off by calling Cherry a "bigot who had no place on national television"
All things aside however, Sloane still wishes health and wellness to the icon of the past.
