Will an apology save Ron MacLean from the outrage mob that got Don Cherry?
Years after Don Cherry was ousted, the outrage mob is coming after Ron MacLean after an on-air “roofies” remark sparked outrage and an on-air apology from the sports announcer.
Ron MacLean watched on as the fallout ended Don Cherry’s “Coach’s Corner” era, a controversy that many fans still see as a mob-driven outrage culture firing. Now, years later, the mob is coming after MacLean after an on-air “roofies” remark sparked outrage and an on-air apology from the sports announcer.
Before the Carolina Hurricanes lifted the Stanley Cup Sunday, Hockey Night in Canada host Ron MacLean addressed remarks he said had “serious connotations.”
“Listen,” he began. “I want to address something that I said earlier on the broadcast. It was a bad mistake by me.”
