On WFAN apparently Bryant Gumbel made the following statement about why he doesn't watch 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," said Gumbel.

Here's a fellow sportswriter's opinion on the issue as well:

Very unneccessary comments IMO.

Yes, Gumbel did say those comments. Happened about a week ago. Maybe 2.

Very immature and stupid comments if you ask me.

As always, blacks can say what they want about race, whites can't say anything. And so it goes.

The double-standard does exist.

It was actually on HBO he said it as a closing commentary on Real Sports.

Charles Barkley was asked if he was watching much of the Olympics and he said 'No, I don't see too many brothers on the slopes'.

The truth hurts.

Yeah, right -- and when did they last give the Winter Olympics to an African nation ...

I mean, that is an outrageous, blatantly racist statement.

What if an Asian person was interviewed on Wall Street, and said 'No, I don't think this company's long-term prospects are good; there aren't enough Asians in the company', insinuating that Asians were smarter or something.


Bryant Gumble should keep his mouth shut.
