Maclean made his comments Saturday night during the first intermission of “Hockey Night in Canada” as the Toronto Maple Leafs took on the Pittsburgh Penguins. Sportsnet fired Cherry on Monday after a rant which many felt was critical of immigrants for not wearing Remembrance Day poppies. In the wake of the controversy, Maclean apologized for giving a thumbs-up on-air reaction to Cherry’s comments. Cherry has not apologized.
It’s too bad that when Don Cherry says the truth he gets labelled as a racist. For all you man hateing ,wanna be Canadians ,go back to where you came from
Craziness! People are taking things to seriously, you can’t say anything anymore, without the media (liberal) spreading it like wildfire! Ask any other person without the media being involved, and we all agree!! Media only shows the bleeding hearts!
Ron McLean broke the code, his days in broadcasting are over, he has no honor, no loyalty, the game will eliminate guys like McLean who don’t follow the basic code.
can someone tell idiot Ron Maclean that Don Cherry is not dead!
I love you so much but when it comes right down to it I still want my job. So I’ll keepthe segment alive without you. Sorry Ron but grapes made you.
Then threw him under the bus
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
'I love you so much'just hollow empty words, don't reflect the action, sad
While he continued to self-justify and rationalize his existence and run over Mr. Cherry.
No sportsnet for us
mail a cherry or grape to Roger's.
Don is like old uncle Ned that you're afraid to take to a restaurant in case he asks the non white wait staff where they come from, and Ron is the nephew who looks down and says nothing.
Ya, I love everyone that I throw under a bus as well.
FireJessAllen
Coward. No wonder Don didn't answer the phone.
FriendGotYourBack
I'm pretty sure Brutus said the same to Ceasar before stabbing him in the he back RonMacLeanHTH has no credibility
“...but I love my job more”
Ron your time on tv is done take jessallen with you.
You did the right thing! People are attacking you because what Don did was obviously wrong. Sad that they want to take you down to. Even sadder that Don doesn’t see its right to apologize for making a statement that implied immigrants dont buy poppies when it’s a broader problem
I got your back CoachsCornerDC TWO WORDS BACK-STABBER
I can’t watch hockey night in Canada anymore and certainly not Ron Maclean . He could have admonished Cherry more diplomatically. After over 50 years ,I am done with professional hockey.Johnny Bower had more depth of character than the whole league combined.
Come on people!! Don has been Don for 80+ years. The ones complaining don’t watch hockey or COACHES CORNER!! The interesting thing about all this is that SN/ Rogers knew this about Don! We all threw Don under the bus for not making a bigger stink over his firing!!!!🇨🇦
Throwing someone under the bus isn't love, Ron.
He has no shame
Weasel
Don has your back when they were going to oust you, nice friend you are . Coward
Finally we can say good bye to the racist, sexist, trash!!
Hard to watch..step down RonMacLeanHTH ,with the smidge of dignity you may have!
What a bunch of bull Ron just resign!
McLean, you’re a piece of shit.
🤮
RIP DON & RON!
Apple’s latest offering... the Ron MacLean iPhony.
While stabbing Mr. Cherry in the back. Well it must be tough love MacLean has for Cherry.
I believe Ron maybe does love Don given how hard he fked him last night.
Just like that! Poof! Pretty thin, Ron.
Where was he when he denied hearing what the patriot of Canada said about the subject instead of saying he didnt hear him. Just trying to save his own skin
coward.
I feel like I was watching Justin explain a water box drink type thing
Obviously a fairweather friend. So sad whats happening. I dont see any problem on standing in behalf of war veterans.
CTVLondon Jess said you people, Greta said you people, apparently that's a phrase only females can use
Need new people on Hockey night in Canada, Sportsnet this is not a good response to Dons racism over the years. Change is needed!
Sad to see CC end. One of my favourite segments. I'm old enough to remember Don dodging many bullets in the past. He lasted this long. In a way, a fitting end for Don. Respect Ron as a pro, person & his wit. Gracious genuine sincere close.
SJW BS!
Ron Maclean will be a shadow without Don Cherry. Best SportsNet can do is move Maclean sideways and get rid of Coaches Corner. It wont be the same without Cherry. Forget Brian Burke as a replacement.
That took courage. I see tweet after tweet about how much of a 'coward' Maclean is. I'd challenge all of those commenters to put themselves in his shoes. Xenophobia is toxic, and nationalism and divisiveness sets us all back. Ron took a brave stand against it. That's honourable.
Maclean showed his true colours by getting on his knees and kissing corporate butt.
Too little too late in the eyes of the public RonMacLeanHTH
What are you, a ***?
The Pontius Pilate of HNIC.... MacLeaning his hands of any responsibility.
what you guys did to don is a descrace to even think you might be Canadian I will not watch another that's broadcasted on.CBC or SPORTSNET ill watch WHL I like it better anyways don made the show him and ron to didn'T pussy foot around he told it like he saw it
I love you but I’m going to screw you over!
Don was absolutely right! Ron is a weak man.
Beautiful
firejessallan
Maclean, more like a backstabber.
Kevin Bieksa- seriously HNIC - you’ve had a bad week! Fitting though as Don Cherry could never get his name right👎
Yeah diversity is our strength... 🤣 A diverse house that is not united soon falls.. The people loved Grapes and the only ones who didn`t were the virtue signalling left, the same group who is out to destroy this once great nation. To them I say, you guys fucked it all up...🇨🇦
🎶I want you, I need you ... I love you ...🎶
The guy should have been a politician. Great for back paddling . Everything he says 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Traitor Ron
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
🍒
Coward.
'I love you so much' ('that's why I didnt back you up when you needed me') FU Ron Maclean
Ron is tuned out now by most after tonight. Let’s just roll rock em sock em video from now on
Ron is NOT the guy you want to share a foxhole with. 100%.
Kind of like when an abusive spouse says that it's because 'I love you so much...you make me so crazy and you end up getting hurt...you cause it to happen!'
When I think Canada cannot go any lower we have this on one of our national networks. Just. Wow.
On the topic of gutless! Even Don would struggle to explain that performance by the Leafs tonight.
Wat a piece of garbage this guy is
JudasMaclean
Sorry Ron. Not good enough. Principles without loyalty don't mean a damned thing. IStandWithDonCherry firejesseallen
Only saying it to look good to the public. Gutless weasel.
While driving the bus over Cherry!
Ron you may love Don , as many of use do. In today’s world we are all quick to criticize people because of political correctness , but we all need to chill . Anyway I wish Don and you well I for one have moved on and think Don probably has too .
He should be gone for selling out his friend.
CTVLondon Ron your a sellout and you should be ashamed You should of been the man that stood there beside Don, knowing he was right with every word spoke I hope it haunts you every Saturday night
How many Caesars in Roman History were loved by family and friends were then stabbed in the back by same family and friends!!
That’s what Judas said!
Racist, bigoted, big mouth loses his tv job because we have evolved as a society and his privilege is not sacred. I'm good with that.
What a sorry excuse for someone who’s trying to save his own job and career by turning his back on Grapes.
Ron McLean won’t survive without don Cherry it’s over !
Horrible to watch. Ron needs to step down.
Not as much as he loves far left radical ideologies.... What a coward. Pure coward
Weasel Ron needs to retire.... Some kinda self restoration 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Ron is weak as is . Ron please leave the game of hockey so you don't taint it any longer with virtue signaling liberal bullshit. I wouldn't answer your call either. The only thing you did today was back the bus up over Don again.
Cherry’s over the line remarks didnt shock me at all. Don McLeans acceptance & agreement did bother me. I feel tonight was a step. I align amwith Ron as a ref & a hockey lover. This will take some time.
CTVWindsor Real shame to end a great history on an assumption
Sorry Don , you lose on both principal and friendship 😒
Be respectful Ron and retire. There is no Coach’s Corner without Don Cherry
RonMacLeanHTH should have left 5 years ago when Don stood up for you!
Ron is a Rat with a capital R, if he had any sense of character he would quit....Ron is a coward!
Get rid of McLean too.
If you loved Don - you would have stuck by him, but I guess you love your job just a little bit more.
Couldn't get Grapes on the phone lol
Donnie is a repeat offender who had a platform to incite misogynistic, xenophobic and racist rants on live TV. He was a very privileged individual who felt entitled to say anything he wanted on live TV without having any consequences. He can keep his views and words to himself!
I can't hear you over all your racist comments firejessallan
Ron ‘Judas’ MacLean tells Don Cherry “I love you so much”, kissing him on the cheek while pocketing 30 pieces of silver.
Next week he will be apologizing for Jess Allen
You stab him in the back and you say you love him? That’s how Ron shows his love to Don Cherry. I don’t want friends like that.
Social credit score +1
CJBK Sorry not enough and too late!
Ron McLean, you threw Don Cherry under the bus! How do you really think he’s feeling? Just leave well enough alone already!?
Ron is a contemporary Canadian. Weak and apologetic. Don is old school Canadian. Strong and proud.
Ron you were always expendable, and you still are. Hope Grapes shows up somewhere else with his own show.
A fiasco. A Canadian media farce. These Toronto centre media are a national detritus. Hall of Shame!!!
ctv sucks 🖕
Too late for RonMacLeanHTH to try and grow a set of balls now
Mr Cherry stood his ground&defended Ron. Remember that
Ron Maclean, so disappointing!
Sportsnet can take the long running segment in whatever direction they want to, but they will be doing it without the viewership they had previous to Monday's firing of CoachsCornerDC Don Cherry, who is what made that segment what it was. No one else will fill the bill!!
The only solution , Time too QUIT Ron it’s time to QUIT H N in Canada 🇨🇦 Coaches Corner
'...Which is why I stabbed you in the back when I could have defended you.' - RonMacLeanHTH, probably Hey Judas, you had your chance to do the right thing. You couldn't man up and be there when DonCherry needed you. You don't get to play pretend that you're his friend now.
The end of Maclean.
Backstabbing shill bringbackdoncherry
Ron throws Don under the bus again. We know what your up to trying to save your backside and your $1 million dollar annual salary.
KyleMooreCTV He ran over grapes last week with the bus then backed over him this week with the bus. That’s sad
Yep, Judas got paid. Wanna bet that they cashier him out within a month
Didnt watch .for cherry
Its hard for him he was the bottom guy for so long .he just want to keep his job
Ron MacLean and Don Cherry could both earn a huge boatload of 'woke points' if they got same sex married right now. 😂😉
Nope....not enough ton...sure glad you’re not my “friend” 🙄
No Ron you stabbed him in the back people that love other people don’t do that You should leave
Who the Hell is Don Cherry? 😱😭😭😭
Ron has to live with himself, not Don. I personally think he made the right choice for him. At the end of the day, they both made a choice... now move forward.
I watched and tried not to cringe. It was awkward. The piece following up was to me, a repudiation of last week's 'you people' slur, plus Labatt (Budweiser) is giving some financial support to the women's pro League. Well thought out move, pass me a Bud.
Not a bus ! I like in Saskatchewan! Lol
CTVLondon Shallow
JudasMclean
You sold your soul Ron. Loyalty means nothing to you, go away.
Time for Ron and Don to head to a Tim Hortons and reminisce about the good old white days.🤷♂️
Not interested in listening to Ron at all...
CTVLondon
KyleMooreCTV Be crazy to give that job up for nutty Don Cherry
Last 1st intermission segment I will watch
CTVLondon Groveling: definition, to lie or crawl with the face downward and the body prostrate, especially in abject humility, fear, etc. Ron Maclean, say what you want now that you still have a job, and stabbed Don in the back. A cowardly thing to do.
CTVLondon Their time is finished.
But I love my job more
I just don't understand you nodding throughout Don's 'you people' rant! Or were you nodding to production in your ear insisting you move it along? Hope you can look Don in the eye. I know you have to eat some crow to retain your $1Mil salary
Your principles are screwed up, your friend who defended you Ron had principles. You have nothing but your 30 pieces
New Saturday night podcast with Wheelerj28 and CoachsCornerDC
CTVWindsor the media is joke in canada
The ironic thing is Ron looks like a spineless weenie who threw Don under the bus to save a job he might not even keep. Most hockey viewers I’ve heard from support Don. I can’t imagine Ron will be great for ratings now.
Then why did you throw him under the bus Ron...... WHY!
Rons a real hero. Cherry is a bigot
Ron Maclean said he needed a week to think about what he was going to say tonight. What he came up with was a weak, feeble, rambling, nonsensical statement. Disappointing.
Sorry Ron Maclean but you are nothing to me anymore. IStandWithDonCherry
Embarrassing. Disappointing.
Ron quit tell sportsnet and CBC to stick it where the sun don't shine.
Sorry Ron friends don't throw friends under bus standwithdoncherry
That was weak Ron
Coaches corny does not exist without 🍒
Too little too late. Maclean should be out too. Time for a new collaboration.
Coaches Corner changing its name to Policy Correctness Corner. We know fuck all about hockey but we know how to piss people off.
FireJessAllen
Ron needs to go bye bye
Really!! Seriously!!
