Yes, he did. In an analogy that would make multi-millionnaires who play a kid’s game for a living slaves.
Potential for delicious irony: when Obama pushes through his surtax on “the rich,” Gumbel reappears from his big white house to declare the President racist for imposing a punitive tax on, among others, a bunch of slaves already being kept down by The Man.
— Which, now that I think about it, is probably better than being raped.
So there’s that.
Ha ha ha … Gumbel looks at a group of extremely well paid, mostly black men, and sees slaves. That’s rich. There must be some dog whistling going on. CODE WORDS.
re: Joey Hairplugs
Bbbbut Cheney once told someone to perform an anatomically impossible act (except maybe for the former Veep) on himself! And Dan Quayle once misspelled potato! That’s news!
I feel sorry for those
poorunfortunate men. It must be horrible to have to jump when they’re told to jump…I wanna be a slave!
Buncha overpaid thugs with a glandular disorder.
Now if he’d said the NCAA, he might have a point.
He must be trying to move a little more to the right on the Wayne Brady – Malcolm X axis.
Ever notice how we don’t know if Greg Gimbel is a dick head or not?
My guess is he’s sucking up to all his buddies in the NBA because I honestly believe that’s how they see the NBA- a bunch of white owners taking the money that’s rightfully theirs (and they think its primarily theirs because a. they’re egomaniacs and b. they don’t have the slightest idea how economics work and how the owners, not the employees, tend to make most of the profit). Listen to them talk when interviewed- they think they’re victims and so put upon.
They’re not allowed to bring there 9s into the locker room anymore. “Nobody know, da trubble I seen.”
That was insensitive.
But the owners and the players know that nobody can live without the fundamentally sound b-ball that is played in the NBA.
Who among us doesn’t know the entire schedule? Which one of us Philistines doesn’t know the nuances of a Kobe Bryant elbow to the face while he’s taking his 89th shot of the night? It’s America’s game.
BTW, there’s a cop for each of you, and he has your rapist in a headlock right now. Do you want that to go away?
