Sports broadcaster Ron MacLean addressed Don Cherry's dismissal on 'Hockey Night in Canada,' saying he still loves his former co-host but ultimately had to choose 'principle over friendship.'

Last Updated Saturday, November 16, 2019 10:25PM EST

“We are all hurting. I have collapsed a hundred times, if not more,” MacLean said. “How can you choose principle over friendship? But I had to.” MacLean said he’d spoken to Cherry in the past week and called him a “fantastic human being,” telling his long-time co-host, “I love you so much.”“We honour what you’ve meant to the game,” he said.

So unfair to those of us who loved it...just replace the ranting one ....keep the sensible one upgradetointelligence

Why ? People like Ron sounfairto many

Maclean's comments just like Trump, 'there are very fine people on both sides!' It is like flushing the toilet, a lot noise at first and eventually quiets down and the pile goes away

That’s bullshit

Because nobody would take the job for a few common sense reasons. 1. Respect for Don Cherry 2. Ron Maclean is now an embarrassment to hockey 3. Nobody would watch it

no problem with that-- it was not about ice-hockey anyway. No loss.

The power of media somewhere some one hears and recives a different message?

That because Don was thew show. Ron was just a sidekick.

Jeez Ron, you threw him under the bus and now you lament what happened?

Sportsnet can you kindly Replace / Fire RonMacLeanHTH ?

Get some balls Ron. You messed up too and Don’s gotta go. getballs

Freedom of speech and voicing your opinion is dead (unless you are on the left).

1997 HNIC ! You people who fired Don Cherry should have told Don Cherry in 1997 that he shouldn’t say “you people” because 2019 the “ you people” who don’t watch HNIC but only lurk for opportunities to scream racism! And OMG CBC & Sportsnet CEO’s your the ones who should be fired

I've been watching Coaches Corner since I was very young. It was time for Don Cherry to leave, although I really wish it had been under different circumstances. It's unfortunate how you have to censure every word that comes out of your mouth these days.

If you're going to brag publicly about your part in this pathetic scenario at least take a bow, bow like you do in front of BlackfaceTrudeau before kissing his silk, Nickelodeon themed socks. Had to pick hockey to use as a race baiting launching pad, huh. Desperate hypocrites

Probably thinking he should of backed him up then

I’m done with MacLaine and I’m done with Sportsnet

It’s almost 2020 DEAL WITH IT. The Best CANADIAN WOMAN HAYLEY WICKENHEISER should replace Don Cherry.

CTVNationalNews LightfootInHwd Thought you may want to read this article.

Such a sudden ouster after almost four decades of service is not palatable...

Good riddance Maclean. Too bad we can’t get rid of the hypocritical liberals as well. Btw why does that cow Allen Still have a job? Oh right, liberal woman

Gee, wish I lived in a glass house and have never said or done anything REMOTELY out of context or have someone impose another meaning on it.

Ron MacLean is great at his job, but that was a rambling mess. After 34 years, Sorry Don. Sorry Bobby. I called you at 9:30 this morning. I love you Don. Canada loves you, but, yes, well, it’s over, blah, blah, blah... Robin without Batman. 🍇👍🏼

And you can blame Don Cherry.

Ron needs to step down after his chicken shit response to this.

Keep it, just replace him with an actual coach

standwithdoncherry

Any attempt to try and bring back Coaches Corner would probably not gone well. They probably got zero interest when they checked possible replacements anyway.

Time to collect that OAS MacLean.

Ron needs to go too then.

And when will ignorant jessieraeallen be fired?

Well that wasn’t too hard to realize, was it

That’s ok - time for something new - half the time Cherry was incomprehensible

It is what it is and let’s move on. Learn from it and grow as a united country.

The new Coach’s Corner..
