CBC’s Don Cherry’s remarks that women shouldn’t be in male dressing rooms continue to spark controversy

Don Cherry says the men’s locker-room is no place for a woman.
The outspoken CBC hockey broadcaster made the comments during his weekly Coach’s Corner segment of “Hockey Night in Canada” on Saturday night while discussing the controversy around Chicago Blackhawks defenceman Keith Duncan.
Keith was  criticized earlier in the week after delivering what some considered a sexist post-game putdown to a female radio reporter in Vancouver.
Cherry believes the reporter — Karen Thomson of Team 1040 — shouldn’t have been allowed in the Blackhawks dressing to begin with.
“I don’t believe women should be in the male dressing room,” said Cherry, causing his broadcast partner, Ron MacLean, to grimace.
