Don Cherry was trending on Twitter again đ
It wasnât for something he said or did â not recently anyway. Cherryâs name was brought up, as it often is on the social media platform by those that share his political beliefs, to make a point.
So Tara Slone, a former colleague of Cherryâs at Sportsnet, who left the network in July, decided to weigh in.
Slone said that she likes Cherry as a person, but added that he is a bigot that shouldnât be given a national platform. And certainly, he shouldnât be looked at as a hockey or political leader.
âI see
#DonCherry is trending yet again. I have never weighed in, but I want to now,â said the former Hometown Hockey co-host.
âI like him, I really do. I hope he is healthy and doing well. But he is a bigot and had no place on national television with a national platform. It wasnât the poppy incident, it was everything he proclaimed over three decades. Come. On. Stop with the deification.â
Do you agree with Slone? Let us knowđ
