I have been known to refer to the Fiji rugby 7s team as animals. They are big, strong, fast, and play well. I am sure a libtard would be offended. I doubt the Fiji players would be.
That’s racist!
As long as he didn’t say they must have been from the Planet of the Apes, he should be okay. ;-(
Harvey, too, was not guilty of racism. The term “800-pound gorilla” or “gorilla in the room” does not refer to race. It’s a figure of speech. Damn this obsession with PC!
How long will it be until gorillas are renamed something else in the name of PC?
800 pound gorilla is a long-standing term that has nothing to do with race. Means it is a huge problem that is very difficult to deal with.
Harvey says a lot of racist things....but he’s black and there are no rules for blacks.
“’800-pound gorilla’ is an American English expression for a person or organization so powerful that it can act without regard to the rights of others or the law. The phrase is rooted in a joke riddle: ‘Where does an 800-lb. gorilla sit?’ Answer: ‘Anywhere he wants to!’”
There will probably be some ‘manufactured outrage’ but Harvey is a total ‘Cash Cow’ for his wide variety of TV offerings.
Is calling him a ‘Cash Cow’ racist? Is it Cowist? Bovine-ist?
So stupid. ALL of it!
Zero. This is the guy who screwed up a beauty pageant, and is still working.
[What are the odds that Harvey will be fired from his various shows? ]
I hope at the least he’s fired from Family Feud.
He destroyed that show. Richard Dawson is rolling in his grave witnessing what a ghetto Ebonics freak show it’s become.
How long will it be before media tells us they are racist.
Oh, please.
Depends, did he say it was a Columbian Gorilla or a Philippine gorilla?
Gotta love Steve Harvey!!!! Mmmmm,wonder how the PC crowd is gonna respond to this!!!!
I can take him or leave him. He show is better than watching Shepard Smith on Fox but that isn't saying much.
Not likely to be fired as it isn’t racist

I’m sorry, his statement is in no way racist. He’s right. GS’s top five could be marquee players on any other team. Too much firepower. Remarkable for a town like Oakland, which I love.
I’ll also say that Jerry Brown was an outstanding mayor for that city, and had he remained so, Oakland would be a truly remarkable place. Shame he had to become governor of CA. Peter principle, and all of that.
At least he wasn’t walking about the gorilla his dreams.
So many stupid people.
