Who shall cast the first stone?
One of the best lessons from The Bible is not being observed enough in our hypocritical modern society. Challenged by a crowd to judge a woman accused of adultery, punishable by stoning, Jesus stated: “He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone at her.” Listening to their own consciences, the gathering disassembled in the Biblical account.
Current and former NHL players, coaches, management, fans and broadcasters are all apparently without sin. A few weeks ago those people cast their stones at Don Cherry, and last week those same people cast their stones at recently fired NHL coaches Bill Peters and Mike Babcock. You’d think those two men shot their dogs.
The angry mob, all without sin themselves, have now cast their stones at the Sutters, and Marc Crawford. As former NHL coach Ken Hitchcock said last week, “They’re coming for everyone.”
It’s quite disgusting to watch the cowardly piling on.
First, Don Cherry, a good and charitable man beloved by millions, had his reputation and career destroyed . . . contd.
