LISTEN: Bobby Orr Defends Don Cherry, Says “What They Did To Him Up There Is Disgraceful”

“I know grapes better than anyone. He’s not a bigot and he’s not a racist.”

While Ron MacLean and Sportsnet disgracefully threw Don Cherry under the bus, hockey Icon Bobby Orr is defending him.

Speaking on the radio, Bobby Orr said “I know Grapes better than anyone. He’s not a bigot and he’s not a racist. What they did to him up there is disgraceful.”

You can listen to Orr’s comments below:

Bobby Orr on Don Cherry (@CoachsCornerDC) fired from Sportsnet: “I know Grapes better than anyone. He’s not a bigot and he’s not a racist”

Orr’s comments are exactly what Ron MacLean should have said, and what Sportsnet should have said.

But instead of giving Cherry the benefit of the doubt, MacLean and Sportsnet threw him under the bus, in a totally cowardly move.

Meanwhile, ‘The Social’ still hasn’t fired Jess Allen, despite her clearly bigoted remarks.

It’s a total double standard, and as Orr said, the treatment of Cherry is disgraceful.
