Gumbel is such a racist!
Mr. Gumbel, your statement serves to create more hatred and distrust. Not witty, not funny.
Well, going by what Gumball said, half his bedroom looks like the gop.
Self selection. No one is keeping blacks off the slopes or out of the GOP.
So Blacks are better at different kinds of sports than Whites. Where does he think skin colors “originated” anyway? Sheep dip.
Yep, it’s Whitey’s fault that blacks don’t like the cold. Maybe we should give them money to compensate for that.
Does Gumbel think we need a “Chocolate Olympics?”
This is from 2006.......
He is a racists. There is no rule blacks can’t do this. Where is that written? But the games are fraught with subjective judgment of sit spins and jumps and I hate them too. Don’t do “sports” where a bunch of ambiguous subjective judging is done. Do finish line or best time events only. When they killed the kid from Georgia with criminal negligent design —I just turned it off.
what a rascist bigoted dink!...
This is yet another reason I don’t bother watching Olympics anymore....having to listen to this crap.
No thanks.
Die main stream media...just die already.
And there will be no Cool Running 2. Oh well.
So it looks like a gathering of people who base their beliefs and actions on evidence and reality? In a sense that is true because the stopwatch doesn’t lie and good intentions won’t bring you success. But isn’t he insulting blacks by implying that they as a group make their decisions based upon on emotion and hope? He should apologize.
There are no racial barriers to Americans wishing to participate in winter sports. I guess the rejoinder is that going to an NBA game is like going to Harlem.
I guess that makes the Summer Olympics a Democrat Convention.
Blacks refuse as a group to do anything “white” then cry “racist” towards any organization or event without whatever level of black partipation they think will do the most political damage. This is just one of many instances of playing the race card that has just about run its course.
I for one am sick of it. It has nothing to do with race, blood, demograhpics, skin color or anything like that. It has to do with corrupt political practices, verbal thuggery and phony victim mentality.
They can go shove their race card where the sun don’t shine. And that includes the WHITE liberals who use the same unfair and unfounded accusations to bully their opponents. Screw ‘em.
Dear Bryant: apparently, they didn’t make the cut based upon honest competition. There is no guarantee of equal outsomes in sports or didn’t you know that. BTW where’s your call for more white guys in boxing and pro basketball you hypocritical POS?
Wonder how the bitter has been likes appearing monthly on a cable premium channel with the ‘huge’ audience that implies.
So Gumbel goes on record as being both a racist *and* a bigot. If he was white and had made a similar comment relating to the shorter track distances and basketball, he would have been fired and he probably should have been whatever his melanin content.
