Another Racist Moonbat Dumbass ~ Bryant Gumbel

In the history of Sports, there have been many examples of commentators and other personalities stepping on their proverbial dicks with politically incorrect utterances. In most cases that have gotten media attention, those mistakes were made by white sports figures or commentators about black athletes. Although not always hateful or critical, it has been an unspoken rule that one simply leaves the race thing alone. Here are some examples:

On black athletic superiority, "During the slave period, the slave owner would breed his big black with his big woman so that he would have a big black kid—that's where it all started."
Jimmy the Greek - Fired by CBS 1988

On Washington Redskins wide-receiver Alvin Garretts break for a pass, "That little monkey gets loose, doesn’t he?"
Howard Cosell - Resigned from ABC's Monday Night Football 1983

On Tiger Woods' impending victory at the Masters Cup Tournament "Tell him not to serve fried chicken next year [at the Masters Champions dinner]. Got it? Or collard greens or whatever the hell they serve."
Fuzzy Zeller - Apologized profusely and dropped out of the Tournament 1997

So much for history. How about LAST WEEK?

Referring to the Winter Olympics, "Count me among those who don't care about them and won't watch them...so try not to laugh when someone says these are the world's greatest athletes, despite a paucity of blacks that makes the winter games look like a GOP convention."
Bryant Gumbel - NO CONSEQUENCES (imagine that?)

Bryant Gumbel shows us the inequity in Political Correctness. With a reputation for coming off like he's just a little better than anyone he interviews, he represents a liberal elite that can throw racial and political jabs willy-nilly into a sports program. Hey Bryant! This is supposed to be "Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel" - not "Real Moonbat Hatred with Bryant the DUMBASS!"

The National Leadership Network of Conservative African-Americans, also known as Project 21, had this to say about Gumbel's remarks in a press release:

"Everyone can understand a person's disdain for a particular sporting event, but for Gumbel to castigate an entire field of athletes who have worked a lifetime in pursuit of a dream - and then injecting race into it - is unforgivable," said Project 21 member Mychal Massie. "HBO, the station that employs Gumbel, features a lot of boxing. Should they be condemned for having too many Mexican boxers or not enough white ones? Should he be condemned for only having one other black on his news team? Following Gumbel's rationale, I would expect the answer to be yes."

"Interest in sporting activities are often dictated by environment. That's why Nordic and European countries have excelled in past Winter Olympics," said Project 21 member Deneen Moore. "It's a simple fact that winter sports are not part of black culture for both geographic and economic reasons. Accessibility, affordability and motivation are key requirements for individuals to excel in sport activities, not the color of one's skin. Mr. Gumbel should be aware of these obvious facts and not try to score cheap racial political points."

It seems to me that these folks are none too happy with Bryant "Teflon" Gumbel. And although they are themselves very politically correct in their remarks, it can leave one wondering why they are being so nice. Here, let me translate for them:

"Bryant Gumbel is a Racist, Moonbat DUMBASS!"

Here are some classic political Gumbelisms for you "Today Show" fans:

"Largely as a result of the policies and priorities of the Reagan administration, more people are becoming poor and staying poor in this country than at any time since World War II." -- July 17, 1989

"The bottom line is more tax money is going to be needed. Just how much will be the primary issue on the agenda when Congressional leaders meet with the President later today, Wednesday, May the 9th, 1990. And good morning, welcome to Today. It’s a Wednesday morning, a day when the budget picture, frankly, seems gloomier than ever. It now seems the time has come to pay the fiddler for our costly dance of the Reagan years." -- May 9, 1990

"We keep looking for some good to come out of this. Maybe it might help in putting race relations back on the front burner after they’ve been subjugated so long as a result of the Reagan years." -- On the Los Angeles riots, April 30, 1992

"This comes at a time when Republicans are looking to gut the Clean Water Act and also the Safe Drinking Water Act. What are our options? Are we now forced to boil water because bottled water is not an economically feasible option for a lot of people?" -- June 1, 1995
