The announcer and his sidekick (Bobby Hansen—ex Iowa and Chicago Bulls) are clearly wimps incapable of defending a non-offensive remark that the continually offended and mentally unstable crowd serve up daily. Quite pathetic.

Everyone knows King Kong, while probably a majority would have no clue had he said Mighty Joe Young. However, when they found out who Mighty Joe Young was, the same reaction would have occurred, because they are both big gorillas.

So that would have only delayed the outrage.
