Let us all also keep in mind, he could have set the record straight, he had the opportunity afterwards to do the grownup thing, and admit that he perhaps misspoke or to clarify/correct himself, or apologize, as his friend and co-host ron maclane did, but once again, he chose NOT to.

No that's not true. He offered to set the record straight but SportsNet refused and fired him. Ron MacLean is a company YES man, that's how he got the job replacing Ken Hodge. He was always a coward and a backstabber.

you're right
maybe it'll be setup that he'll get shanked
sharpened bed spring to the kidney in the shower room
fooking rat!
grapes will see to it
"Sportsnet and CBC should not cave into a mob of liberals and twitter activists, and should immediately restore Cherry to his job."
So angry, and so unaware CBC isn't remotely involved - those damn leftists.
WARMINGTON: Grapes feeling the love from supporters
If hockey icon Don Cherry was given a second shot at making his point about too few people wearing poppies, the former Coach’s Corner star knows how he’d say it. But, Cherry said, he was not given that chance by Rogers or Sportsnet. “Rather than ‘You people who come here,’ I should have said ‘everybody,’” he said. “I told management I would go on Saturday and explain what I meant. They didn’t want to do it that way.” Instead, said Cherry, Sportsnet’s Bart Yabsley wanted a humiliating mea culpa-style apology that bowed to the notion his comments were racist. “They were not,” insisted Cherry. “I wish I had said it better, but I am not going to apologize for something I didn’t mean.” He also knows if he had read out what they wanted him to say, there would be no going back.
Cole's Notes: Cherry could have gone on air and given a Sportsnet scripted "apology", but Coach's Corner would no longer be Coach's Corner as we know it going forward.

with hindsight
it's likely Cherry would want to call a mulligan
if it had been a one-off
even the leftiest of Canada's Progressives would have been along
but it's a decades' long problem
no bueno
other than being a small town bigot with a big mouth
I really don't see the attraction, never worked a day in his life
that seems to be enough for small brained Cons these days

He publicly backstabbed Cherry. Isn't that enough for you? And the net doesn't go back far enough to prove the fiasco at CBC with Ken Hodge, when he criticized the Corpse publicly for cancelling programming for the NDP convention. Ron was right there to take the assignment, a junior chump same as he is today. Ron takes care of Ron. Everything he did this week proves that. Now he's looking for a cowardly way to weasel out of getting blame for selling out Cherry. He can wear it, and so can Sportsnet. And their advertisers are fooling themselves if they think they won't be touched by this too.

why assume vitriol?
after a mediocre career as a player
he tried 2 jobs, 6 months each
selling cars
and construction
former should have excelled at
it's ALL verbal
except you can't be an azzhole: this would be a problem for him
latter: running your yap, which is all that guy knows
is not a good trait in that industry
so as the old saying goes
if you can't do
teach
Swedes and Russians. He's talking about white Europeans taking Canadian's jobs in the NHL FFS.
