That’s probably what it was. Enough is also enough.Not surprising at all. I'd be willing to bet that some advertisers were threatening to pull business.
It is also ironic that after his attempt to stand up for veterans, he gets fired on Remembrance Day.That’s probably what it was. Enough is also enough.

Toronto Sun should think twice since Don can't write in proper Canadian English lol.In tomorrows Toronto Sun, Joe Warmington will spin a yarn about how Don is a victim of "political correctness" and the "liberal media"; that I guarantee.
Maybe the Toronto Sun will give Don his own column; not that I read anything that is printed in the Toronto Sun, I only look at the paper for The Sunshine Girl.
He'd fit right in with most of the Sun staff then.Toronto Sun should think twice since Don can't write in proper Canadian English lol.
Wasn't it more of making the fun of the way Europeans played hockey (non-physical etc.), unless I missed it (I was only around 10 years old back then).Back in the 80's when he made racist comments about French and European hockey players, CBC gave him a pass. Not this time.
CBC doesn't sign his paycheque anymore; it's Sportsnet aka Rogers. Rogers has the broadcast rights; they simply license HNIC to the CBC; and Rogers decided that Cherry is now more of a liability to them than an asset.Back in the 80's when he made racist comments about French and European hockey players, CBC gave him a pass. Not this time.
So basically he quit, he didn't get fired. He doesn't all this shit, he'll just retire. He's 85.I just spoke to a buddy at MLSE who is in this particular loop. Evidently Cherry was given a chance to apologize but he refused.
