Based on Gumbel's requirements, I guess swimmers and cyclists are not great athletes. Hey Bryant, let me know when your boys drop and your voice finally changes.

Agree 100% Dave. Double standards strike again.

i wonder, as a caucasian, if i could get away with saying something like:
"Why would I watch the NBA All-Star weekend? There is a paucity of white athletes so it is not worth my time".

i have a feeling that it wouldn't go over that well... hmmmm - i might even be called "a racist".

[Axegrinder]

I heard a Bryant Gumbel reference on ESPN Radio last night and I didn't understand it.
My computer is bugging out,so will someone please summarize what he did or said?

Bryant Gumbel has always been an moron.

That's exactly what you'd be labled Booser.

White commentators have fired for saying such things....

Axe, I can't remember exactly how he stated it but it was something about watching the Olympics is like watching a GOP convention. Due to all the white people I guess.

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. Try not to point out that something`s not really a sport in the pseudo athlete waits in what`s called a kiss and cry area, while some panel of subjective judges decides who won. And try to blot out all logic when announcers and sports writers pretend to care about the luge, the skeleton, the biathalon, and all those other events they don`t understand and totally ignore but for three weeks every four years.

I know any white anchor would have lost his job but that's double standards for you......

I absolutely agree.
Maybe he's trying to get his street cred back?

[RedskinsDave]

I guess Bryant can watch now.....

Davis became the first black to win an individual gold medal in Winter Olympic history Saturday, capturing the men's 1000m speed skating race

Hey Gumbel, try not to laugh as a team of Hockey players stomp you into little frozen red bits and peaces for telling them they're not athletes.

Then go watch your rhythmic gymnastics, trampoline, synchronised swimming, ping-pong, and badminton in the summer games you stupid racist hack.

I can't believe you all would knock the man who did such fine work as Gumbel2Gumbel. Possibly one of the best shows ever. Excellent for father-son bonding.
