His continued employment after the Burrows hit piece is something Sportsnet should be ashamed of. Terrible broadcaster and terrible person; I want no part in contributing to the prevention of that worthless piece of garbage from starving to death.

JeremyCuddles Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 (edited) Not a fan of the guy, but I don't dislike him as much as most, and they fired Cherry for less. Just get em outta here. The NBA is way ahead of the NHL in the analyst/personality front. We need more Bieksa's, players with personalities. Need fewer Ron McLean's. Hopefully when Subban calls it a career they bring him onto the panel. He's well spoken and has charisma. Just like Juice.

I don't mind injecting some personality in the NHL but I feel like the NHL is more forcing or trying to hard to do so and it just doesn't feel natural. I do agree with Bieksa and Subban having a future in broadcast and adding them would add some personality but only when that time comes. I remember that period where I was watching the NBC broadcasts in the NHL, the analysts there tried hard to sensationalize every angle and every story that it became quite off putting.

Paging John McCaw... I don't even like Ron, I'm just pointing out how stupid you all are for trying to turn a nothing comment he made into a big social issue. Like I said earlier if you want to hate him that's fine, if you want him fired because you don't like him then what do I care but I'm honestly sick of all you idiots trying to make a big deal out of what he said. Why don't you go after the person in this thread who actually made racist comments? Maybe you should find out where he works and get him fired? Isn't that what you all crave? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear it's like arguing with a pile of bricks, so according to you it's perfectly acceptable to be racist or homophobic on a internet forum but totally unacceptable for someone on live tv to say something that was neither racist nor homophobic? keep digging that hole there bud I'm loving this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for anyone defending Cherry - his views were relevant back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. He has always been entitled to his opinions but not on a platform like CBC and we are better for him being removed from the public airways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twilight Sparkle Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 my first time speaking on this and say what you will about ron, but i dont think the comment was homophobic, and im saying this as an lgbtq+ person. the wording out of context sounds bad but i dont think there was anything malicious about it. he's done a lot of good for the lgbtq+ community to try and help hockey be more inclusive. he apologized, gave context on the wording, time to move on 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it was directed towards all immigrants in general and have no issue with his firing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
