On Sunday, Jason Whitlock of the Kansas City Star criticized Cowboys tight end Martellus Bennett for a YouTube video featuring the “Black Olympics,” a competition between Bennett and his brother involving the eating of fried chicken and watermelon and the drinking of Kool-Aid.
Mike Freeman of CBSSports.com also ripped Bennett. “Somewhere W.E.B. DuBois, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Ralph Ellison and Dr. Huxtable are rolling over
in their graves,” Freeman wrote.
Bennett addressed the situation on Monday during an appearance on ESPN 103.3′s The Michael Irvin Show. The second-year reserve tight end claims he was just having some innocent fun.
“I don’t really think it’s offensive,” Bennett said, via Richard Durett of the Dallas Morning News. “It depends on your sense of humor and how you look at things. We were just having fun and it was very funny for me and my brothers, when I look at it I just can’t stop laughing. If someone takes offense, I apologize. That wasn’t my intention. It was just us having fun.”
He claims that he wouldn’t be offended if a white person had made the “Black Olympics” video, which might cause some neutral observers to question whether Bennett is qualified to, say, drive a car.
“There’s white comedians that do stuff like that all the time,” Bennett said. “I think it’s funny to attack stereotypes. It’s funny how people just put people in a certain light and say that’s what all the people do of a certain race or particular person, so it’s fun to attack those stereotypes.”
Bennett also addressed the question of whether he should be goofing around off the field until he proves himself on the field.
“Every time I step on the field, I do something meaningful,” Bennett said. “I’m the blue collar guy. I do a lot of stuff I don’t get credit for. Every day I work on my game. Every day I’m becoming a better player. I would tell them, ‘You can say what you want to say, but you don’t see me working hard at practice.’ They think I’m at home doing nothing, which is none of their business actually. Don’t worry about me until football season. If you don’t like it, don’t watch it.”
Regardless, Bennett doesn’t expect his questionable attempt at humor to impact his football career.
“The first time I got in trouble because I was cursing and I had the Cowboys helmet on,” Bennett said, referring to the fine that was imposed by the team for his profane (and inane) rap video. “Now it’s just me doing me. It’s no different if I was being a standup comedian at a show.”
But that was Whitlock’s point. Bennett isn’t a comedian. He’s an athlete. And so he lacks the license and the skill to publicly poke fun at stereotypes. When he does, it potentially desensitizes the public to such behavior, making it potentially acceptable for anyone who says or does something offensive to hide behind the notion that he was “just having fun,” or that he’s hoping to become the next Carrot Top.
Jay Cutler is white
Oh please. “Lacks the license”? So now, just “approved” people can speak their minds or poke fun at things? Athletes aren’t approved, apparently.
Isn’t it about time that people… regardless of their race or occupation … can poke fun at each other without the Offended Class getting, well, offended.
Go for it, Martellus. Have fun, enjoy life, dude.
I am black and I was not offended. These sports hacks are just sucking up to their white bosses so they will look good. Yea I said it , So bite me if you don’t like me ! Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence and a host of black comics say far worse that this . So these two suckups need to shut up and watch some BET , If their blackness can handle it !!
That’s actually really funny. People need to get off his back for this.
Lighten up Francis.
oh, florio, so you want to shut marty b up so nobody else who “isnt approved by or in the media” can use their 1st amendment rights.
so… where are these “skill schools”? how does one “get a license” to poke fun at stereotypes or themselves or someone else? why should only so-called comedians, most of whom arent funny anyway, get to have all the fun?
welcome to another episode of “mike florio, thought police”!
free speech means free speech. even if that illegal resident osamabama doesnt like it. and even if you dont like it.
Where do you get a license for comedy? It is a stereotype, get over it. Its the same as two white guys having a marathon of wife beater t-shirts and nascar, or hispanics and eating the most bean burritos. Maybe I am desensitized because I just don’t see the big deal.
C’mon. It’s just joking about stereotypes of what his own race may eat. Just like someone might joke that as a Jewish person, they eat bagels or a German eats Kraut, Asian eats rice etc. Harmless fun and I’m sure no one was offended.
“But that was Whitlock’s point. Bennett isn’t a comedian. He’s an athlete. And so he lacks the license and the skill to publicly poke fun at stereotypes. ”
you need a license to be a comedian and publicly poke fun at stereotypes? by the way, are we defending stereotypes now? Because, I always thought they were like, you know, a bad thing.
Are you kidding me? This is a kid folks! Just a kid “having fun” . . . . . . and for me that’s OK.
Watch the video. These kids were obviously having a ball. I thought it was hilarious.
Are you saying here that only professional comedians are allowed to have fun? Give me a break!!
Oh, and if this is offensive, is it any less offensive for Bennett to make this video than it is for Chris Rock, Eddie Murphy, and on and on and on to make the same type of comments/videos etc. about white people? Why is it that that’s OK but, by God don’t EVER poke fun at black people – EVEN IF THE ONE POKING FUN IS BLACK!!
Oh, I forgot, he’s not qualified to have fun.
Give me a break.
Good thing he didn’t make fun of homosexuals or lesbians. Our wonderful country is on the brink of making THAT a crime.
Give me a break!
Go for it M.B. You’re rich and young making a living playing a game. Have all the fun you can grab. Life’s way too short to do otherwise.
He claims that he wouldn’t be offended if a white person had made the “Black Olympics” video, which might cause some neutral observers to question whether Bennett is qualified to, say, drive a car.
Is the end of that sentence, the part outside of the quotes, something that Bennett said, or something that you made up Florio?
“But that was Whitlock’s point. Bennett isn’t a comedian. He’s an athlete. And so he lacks the license and the skill to publicly poke fun at stereotypes. When he does, it potentially desensitizes the public to such behavior, making it potentially acceptable for anyone who says or does something offensive to hide behind the notion that he was “just having fun,” or that he’s hoping to become the next Carrot Top.”
Pull that stick out of you butt Florio. Bennett is allowed to have fun just as much as the next guy, and by the way what qualification do you need to be a comedian, is there a B.A. offered at the local college? Sterotypes are fun to attack and i think that in doing so it has the oposite effect that Whitlock and you are suggesting. I’m white, actually Irish/Italian and i love fried chicken and watermelon as much as the next guy, and I’m constantly messing with my black friends about those sterotypes, just like they do with me when imitating a white guys voice ( see martin lawrence , chris rock , etc…) stop taking things so seriously.
People’s ability to laugh at one another and themselves allows us all to see how much we are the same.
In some sense, he has a point. How many people associate black people with the word yo, or rap music. When someone is “acting black” don’t they just start saying yo, turn their hat backwards and start talking in ebonics? Really can’t ignore all of that and then make Marty B out to be some sort of deviant or act like he is desensitizing people when the media and everyone else does it all of the time given their indication of what black people are supposed to act/talk/dress like.
Dr. Huxtable? Whats bill cosby gotta do with this? there was no mention of jello pudding cups
marty b- tell whitlock get off his soapbox, and to florio’s comment as to whether marty b is an athlete remains to be seen!
“But that was Whitlock’s point. Bennett isn’t a comedian. He’s an athlete. And so he lacks the license and the skill to publicly poke fun at stereotypes. ”
————————————-
95% of the so called comedians out there lack the license and the skill to be on stage. They too have day jobs and should stick to that but they don’t.
As long as he isn’t wearing the Cowboys uniform he should be able to make a fool of himself if he wants. Like he said, it’s none of our business….if you don’t like it, don’t watch it.
The Black Olympics?
They only did 3 events! Fastest to eat Watermelon, Fried Chicken, and drink Kool-aid the fastest.
Go for the decathalon to be a true Olympic athlete= 10 events.
Add in playin the dozens.
Hambone and chitlins.
first to yell DISCRIMINATION
first to learn how to swim
best rapper
most gold chains
and the final event:
The first to get a white woman.
So if you aren’t a professional comedian, making jokes is inappropriate? That makes no sense at all. Maybe if we would stop being so stuck up and sensitive to race, it would actually go away, Mike. It isn’t like he had them get arrested at the end, or pistols stuffed in their waistband, so who did the “Black Olympics” hurt? Chris Rock cracks jokes about blacks all the time, and I think it’s funny as hell. Even the friends I have who FIT some of those stereotypes laugh. Exactly what topics are fair game for us non-professional comedians? Can I talk about the chicken crossing the road, or is that stereotyping chickens as road crossers?
Your last paragraph makes you sound like those two reverend jokers who jump on every issue and call it racist.
And by the way, this Freeman character should really check up on Mr. Huxtable, he’s not dead.
“Bennett isn’t a comedian. He’s an athlete. And so he lacks the license and the skill to publicly poke fun at stereotypes.”
Why does Bennett need to be a comedian to rip stereotypes? Stereotypes need to be constantly ridiculed at all times in all places to ensure no one really thinks they fit who they pretent to discribe. And the people who don’t get the joke, and think that’s how black people are, well they are just racist and or ignorant. (not finding the joke funny is another matter as an individual’s sense of humour is all relative)
Also i truely doubt W.E.B. DuBois would be rolling over in his grave, more like concerned that a black person ridiculing stereotypes about black people has caused people to rise in uproar.
“it potentially desensitizes the public to such behavior, making it potentially acceptable for anyone who says or does something offensive to hide behind the notion that he was “just having fun,”"
How is a black man ridiculing stereotypes about black people offensive?
Give the poor kid a break! Fried chicken, watermelon and red Kool-Aid jokes are always funny and self-deprecation is way undervalued but always appreciated.
Really?!!! C’mon, license? Since when do you need a license to have some fun? That sh*t was funny, hilarious actually. I’m Mexican and I make Mexican jokes all the time; now I haven’t put them on you tube, but if I was a little famous I don’t think I’d hold back….LMFAO!!! Black Olympics!!!
I think it would be hilarious if if me and some of my friends had some blacklympics. In addition to the stuff mentioned above, there would be the ‘fastest blunt rolling contest,’ the quickest liquor store hold-up, and then we’ll see who can nail the most over-wieght white women…..
I’d say considering the MASSIVE amounts of rap songs, black comedians, etc. that use white, latin and asian stereotypes in their media, this has to be the stupidest criticism I’ve ever seen. People are wound up so tight that they snap at the slightest thing, either unintentionally or intentionally, aimed at black people… It could be the most innocuous of statements and the next thing you know its blown so far out of proportion that so called “leaders” of the black community are calling for the stripping of the “offenders” livelihoods… The media is doing more harm than any of these so called “offenders” by taking something that should be settled quietly without fuss and turning it into something that gets more press than the Iraqi war effort… Media = Mass Hysteria = Happy Media Execs
Way overblown
Friends joke with one another. “Hey, um, you’re poor.” “Well hey, your mom is dead.” That’s what friends do. It’s… you’re so white.
No hockey? Check
No basketball? Check
Baseball at the All-Star break? Check
Football down for the summer? Check
I guess sportswriters have to find something to write about.
When we stop laughing at ourselves, we have become really f-ed up as a society. Whitlock…and PFT…should just leave it.
For the love…. Honestly….
This country is going down the tubes, with all these over zealous idiots, screaming about what is politically correct, and what is not.
This is a shame. He was having fun, and I am sorry, he didnt offend me in the least bit.
White or Black.
two words : WHO CARES!
God forbid a white guy made these comments. He would never live this down.
ENOUGH already!
The hobgoblin of small minds, Political Correctness, strikes again.
“Bennett isn’t a comedian. He’s an athlete. And so he lacks the license and the skill to publicly poke fun at stereotypes.”
Yeah that sounds like the same kind of criticism a lawyer who’s trying to be a journalist in his spare time would hear.
I think there’s plenty of room for people to express multiple facets of their personality.
If Dave Chapelle did this same thing, with the same content and delivery, we’d all be calling him a genius for having the guts to confront and discuss the preconceived notions we have about each other due to race. I mean, it really does sound like a Dave Chapelle sketch.
Bennet sounds like a creative guy stuck in a profession where being different makes other players look at him funny. It’s a locker room mentality and I’m suprised you hold that viewpoint.
He may have just become my favorite player. If you can’t laugh at stupid things like that then you are taking things too seriously.
I’d have to go along with Bennett on this. If we’re EVER going to get beyond racism, then everyone has to start being a little less sensitive as time goes on. I never really understood the offensiveness of this particular sterotype anyway – heck, I’m white and I like watermelon, fried chicken and kool-aid as much as any black person, so what’s the big deal, especially since Bennett was having fun showing how ridiculous this stuff is, when we perpetuate the offensiveness of the stereotype rather than the utter absurdity that the stereotype exists in the first place?
I like Whitlock, but he is starting to wear out the seat on that high horse he trys to ride. Bennett is right.
Things could be better… things have never been better. The old stereotypes are becoming stupidly funny and should be broken down once and for all. Even white people should be able to make fun with them, then we really will be one big dysFUNctional family!
So Marty B is a goofy black guy and he gets ragged on for making a video about goofy black stereotypes… Yet Jason Whitlock is morbidly obese and black yet is a journalist because he writes columns calling phenomenal athletes fat and ripping on young black guys for doing goofy stuff.
Whitlock’s act is so old… will people stop giving him press clippings.
I know its July and you need something to be angry about, Florio, but come on, lighten up, Francis.
“Won’t somebody, PLEASE think of the children!”
Black people don’t like fried chicken, watermellon and kool-aid? What’s racist about saying so?
I can’t jump and “if you go black you don’t go back?” …that isn’t racist?
i’m so sick of this shi*…
Honestly, I don’t see a problem with ‘Marty B’ doing all this stuff. He’s not a good player anyways, so he might as well waste his time. Who are the top 15 TEs in fantasy football? Check out fantasyfootballtalk.net to find out
I say the more offensive, the funnier it is–the best hamburger comes from sacred cows.
(That reminds me: How do you know when it’s bedtime at MJ’s house? When the big hand touches the little hand…)
Have we really gotten SO PfreakinC in this country that now we can’t even make fun of OURSELVES, and/or whatever social/minority groups we might belong to?
So it’s wrong to call myself a potato-sucking lush? Or a dumb Polack?
The govt. dictates A LOT of things these days, but they’ll NEVER be able to tell me what’s funny and what isn’t.
“Bennett isn’t a comedian. He’s an athlete. And so he lacks the license and the skill to publicly poke fun at stereotypes. When he does, it potentially desensitizes the public to such behavior, making it potentially acceptable for anyone who says or does something offensive to hide behind the notion that he was “just having fun,” or that he’s hoping to become the next Carrot Top.”
Couldn’t we say the same thing about your whole “that’s what she said” bit?
It objectifies women and blah blah, potenitally desensitizes the public to such behavior and blabbity blabbity blah?
Or are you “hiding behind the notion that you’re just having fun”?
Come on.
Lighten up. Um, er, I mean RELAX… (because I don’t mean that LITERALLY–I’m not trying to be racially insensistive or anything by saying “lighten up”).
I don’t see the big deal. He’s a clown. Just goofin’ off.
Florio, stop being so “politically correct.”
“..lacks the license and the skill to publicly poke fun at stereotypes.” You can argue his “skill” level, but that is opinion argument. Dane Cook sucks, but there are enough people that pay to watch him that find his humor funny.
To say that you’ve NEVER made fun of a stereotype is bulls*$t. Grow a sack and take it for what it was. Hell, he was making fun of a stereotype that he considers himself to be a part of!
Next, you’ll tell me their not keeping score in Florio, Jr.’s football games. Because, you know, everyone is a winner and no one is a loser!?!
If I described myself as white, live in the South, have drank moonshine out of a mason jar, and own a pair of over-alls…….what would you call me? Kin, maybe?
It’s really sad when people are so wrapped up in something that they can’t see the humor in stereotypes.
The fried chicken, watermelon, and Kool-Aid stereotype should be a lot easier to laugh at then the reality that the #1 killer of young black male adults is another young black male adult. Now THAT should be offensive and THAT should garner anger, but a joke like this gets all of the attention…
Too sad.
Are comedians licensed? Some aren’t even “skilled.” Depends upon perspective…right? Whitlock’s perspective was truly his own and he has every right to have it; and write about it. I agree with MartyB. Its funny to take jabs at stereotypes. Seems kind of personal to you Florio. Is it a “Cowboys” thing or is it because he doesn’t have a comedic “license?” Or both….lighten up man.
He has the right to do whatever he wants! Ever hear of free speech? Or is it only free for those who think like you? Let the holier than thous criticize Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton for their purposely racist HATEFUL speech.
When did Dr. Cliff Huxtable die?
It is funny to attack stereotypes, but our overly pc self-entitled public consciousness won’t allow a white person to do it.
If someone wants to make fun of white stereotypes? Have at it everyone, especially blacks. Ever see the Red Stripe beer ad “helping white people dance for over 30 years?”
White men can’t jump?
Every day I find some reverse descrimination examples, at the same time as I’m told what a racist I am for noticing/lampooning persistant tendanicies of other races, and I’m getting tired of it.
Would a column have been written if it were an Irish player drinking beer and eating potatos, or an Italian player eating spaghetti and drinking wine?
Jason Whitlock, who in the hell do you think you are. you know you have an opinion about what you think is out of line, fine. I may or may not disagree with that opinion but I certainly will accept it as your opinion. The problem is you want to qualify who can cross certain lines and who cannot. Is a comedian allowed to make these jokes from the beginning of their career or do they have to wait until they have impressed upon you their skill. Please let me know who’s been vetted and who hasn’t I really think it’s important that the world knows who’s allowed to do what in your opinion.
I don’t know. I can definitely see how a lot of people would be offended, and I kind of doubt his point that if a white comedian were to do it it wouldn’t be offensive. But isn’t the point of youtube to give people who don’t have the license or skill to do something a forum to do it in? While I think “Marty B” is a bit of a clown, he has every right to use YouTube in a way that doesn’t violate YouTube’s terms of use. I’m willing to bet dollars to donuts you could find a lot more racist, xenophobic, anti-semetic, bigoted stuff on youtube then a guy and his brother goofing around.
Also, we should all be so lucky if the players on our team were as ripped as Carrot Top. Have you seen the guy? He’s turned into a roided out body builder.
I’ve been a backer of yours Florio, but there is no such thing as a “comedic license”. And if there was, just about every one of your articles here would be in violation of the “you’re not allowed to do anything outside what you’re paid to do” code… Mr. Lawyer/Blogger who thinks he’s also funny sir.
Jason Whitlock is a Class A D-Bag along the lines of Skip Bayless. Loud for the sake of being loud. Just because Bennett’s business card says “athlete” instead of “comedian” doesn’t mean that the guy can’t do whatever the hell he pleases, including poke fun at a stupid stereotype. I’ve never once seen any of a plethora of black friends I have either A) eat watermelon, or B) mix up some kool-aid. The chicken? That may be a little more common, but it is for my white a$$ just as it is any black guy too. It’s always been a stupid stereotype though and Bennett’s right… don’t act like white people don’t poke fun at white people, etc…
Get over yourself Whitlock and anyone else who wants to say that Bennett is painting himself into an ignoramus light. From the sounds of it, I think he’s addressed this sufficiently. And… he is indeed a good TE. We’ll see that this year even moreso when Romo has to look to him and Whitten more because of a subpar WR corps.
-Sincerely,
Not even a Bennett or Cowboy fan
This guy is just an idiot. What more do you need to say? He is getting paid very well to play a sport that most of us dreamed of doing at this level and just doesn’t get it. Sad…
Whitlock is a typical race-baiter. Anything said by anybody that doesn’t conform to his political correctness is loudly condemned by him. It’s because of people like him that honest communication between blacks and whites hardly exists. Bennett’s antics “desensitizes” the public? Give me a friggin brake. Bennett’s antics were hilarious. We actually need more of such antics to lighten the tension caused by hacks like Whitlock. If we could all lighten up and laugh at ourselves the racial climate would improve. You politically correct hacks actually hurt relations.
“But that was Whitlock’s point. Bennett isn’t a comedian. He’s an athlete.”
Whitlock’s not a writer. He’s a race baiter.
I don’t know about you but I want my athletes to have personality. I used to like how Clinton Portis would dress up, how Warren Sapp runs his mouth, how Peyton Manning made me laugh my ass off on SNL (pretty sure he was practicing comedy without a license), and how Marty B did with this one. If all athletes were so one-dimensional then we would have nothing to read here.
So glad Green Bay took Finley over this guy…
Lets see in the past couple days a linebacker proclaims he still holds a grudge against the backup quarterback…you have this clown saying “Every time I step on the field, I do something meaningful,”….and everyone knows the whole romo saga of allegedly falling apart being a teammates fault…..who else is waiting for epic train wreck anyone who thought last year was bad sit tight my friend…..but serious everything over this past year has shown they need a new head coach and now!!!!!!!
“This guy is just an idiot. What more do you need to say? He is getting paid very well to play a sport that most of us dreamed of doing at this level and just doesn’t get it.”
What does that mean? Since he can play at that level, he’s not allowed to do anything else? Why is he an idiot in your eyes for having a little bit of fun on youtube? He’s not fighting dogs, smoking crack, getting busted with tranny hookers, throttling anybody in Denny’s, sipping lean in a parking lot, driving while intoxicated, beating his woman, breaking into anybody’s house, betting on football, smuggling drugs, killing other people, screwing underage girls, fathering multiple children with multiple women, cheating on his wife, cheating on his mistress, throwing any teammates under a bus, etc.
You opened up a can of worms Florio. Actually, closer to snakes. With venom. Maybe you should stick to, you know, just the facts and leave personal opinion of a non-football nature at home. Or create another blog, and call it something like “NBC-Liberal-Agenda-Talk.com. I’m sure you’d get a ton of nut jobs going there, screaming racism at raccoons and trying to kill all cows for greenhouse gas emition, or whatever crazy stuff liberals do…
People like Jason Whitlock are what is wrong with this country these days. He acts like he is ashamed to be black and so he takes it out on anyone who is not politically correct in his world. Back in the 70′s, when All In The Family, The Jeffersons and Sanford and Son were on TV, we all, white, black or hispanic, would get a big laugh out of something like this. Whitlock needs to get a reality check and shove some fried chicken in his fat piehole!
Jason Whitlock is the biggest hack in sports journalism. Period. Who gives a &%$ what that guy has to say about anything. Hes always getting involved in this racial crap in sports now because hes looking for the spotlight. If you want to look at a living stereotype its Jason Whitlock, the man wouldnt have a job in the business if he was white, because he can’t write.
“Bennett also addressed the question of whether he should be goofing around off the field until he proves himself on the field.”
I wonder how many NFL TE’s could catch 20 passes and 4 TDs playing behind Jason Witten?
“So glad Green Bay took Finley over this guy…”
They didn’t take Finley over Bennett. Bennett was long gone by the time the Packers drafted Finley. Finley’s another guy with multiple kids from multiple mothers.
Florio, why are you and Whitlock so uptight about this? People joke about stereotypes of others and of their heritage all of the time…it’s funny lighten up.
And when the hell do you need to be licensed to make jokes about races?
You’re getting beat up bad on this one Florio. I didn’t think anyone could get Jets, Pats, Boys, Eagles fans, etc. to all agree, but you did it.
Did the peacock bite you this morning?
Vox gets a 5 for each of his comments.
The more I read about Bennett, the more I like him. This country could use more people like him, instead of the PC whiners and the “nanny” government leaders that we have.
Bill Cosby is dead? why would he roll in his grave.
Sorry, didn’t mean to make that joke, I know i dont have a license to be funny.
Why do people feel the need to take everything so seriously? Marty B is a kid having fun, Whitlock has a stick up his ass. Leave the guy alone already, no one is forcing people to watch his youtube videos. Also, to compare what Marty B has done to taking away from what Dr King, Dubois, and Malcolm X have done is the most assinine statement I have ever heard….next to throwing in Dr Huxtable (who isn’t even a real person). Lighten the F up and learn to take a joke for a joke Whitlock.
Florio, he’s a lot closer to being a real comedian than you are to being a real journalist! Give up now while you still can!
Florio, he’s a lot closer to being a real comedian than you are to being a real journalist! Give up now while you still can!
I am a HUGE EAGLES fan and if there is one thing I can’t stand is anyone that plays for the Cowboys, that being said Bennett is now one of my favorite players. Give me a break!!!
I’d be curious to see what Jim Brown has to say about this.
Mike, I’m typically with you on most issues. And I really appreciate your site. But you’re wrong on this one.
It’s refreshing to hear Marty B joke about the fried Chicken, Watermelon and Kool Aid stereotype. You and Whitlock are being too darn serious. It’s not a problem until people like you 2 make it a problem.
I’m Italian and I’m always making jokes about our ways and my loud obnoxious and overly emotional family and friends.
Believe it or not, Marty’s type of humor breaks down racial barriers. In fact after reading this I wish he was one of my NY Giants.
Great talent.
Not too smart.
Lacks focus.
Needs a strong influence in the locker room.
Not Wade. Not Jerry.
Maybe people should stop complaining about this and its effects on their kids and sit down with the kids and explain what’s right and what’s wrong with this video. People it isn’t the media’s fault its the parents who can’t control their kids.
If the purpose of this article was to get people to comment then congratulations you suceeded.
I understand that it’s summer and there’s not much to write about at this time , but if you plan on keeping up with this kind of crap writing during the season you will have one less member of the PFT nation.
I suggest doing what you have done in the past……when there isn’t anything new to write about then shut it down until there is. Perhaps you need a vacation at one of those body detox spas, maybe they will be able to yank that stick out of your A$$
Is anyone else confused when Florio seems to have these momentary lapses and writes things that are so outlandish they leave you scratching their head, given some of what he writes on this very site? Are there two Mike Florios?
And how is this different when you make jokes about Christians (or other religions)?
Should we pull your card?
Gamedays Decathalon rocks!
When everyone can joke and make fun of each other and themselves without the wimps of the world crying about being offended, then we will be getting somewhere with finally fixing our “racist” problem. To get there we need to start allowing people to have fun without wimps crying about “licenses” or worrying about idiots taking it the wrong way.
I think Whitlock was pissed off he wasn’t invited to the games,..If you look at the events, his fat ass would have been the Black Olympics Michael Phelps, taking home the gold in every event…..
DAMN, DAMN, DAMN! You’ve done it now, Mr. Florio, sir. I can’t stand the Cowgirls and now you’ve got their fans and our fans (Eagles)agreeing?!?
You fargin’ icehole, I neva forgeta face, you rat bastage!
If my fingers weren’t so greasy, from the Popeye’s fried chicken, I’d pour my black cherry kool-aid all over this screen!
Start a poll: best friend chicken by state…..

That is the funniest thing I have heard all week!!!
and the reason that the black olympics are funny is because where I’m from its true. Maybe in West Virginia black people get offended by this but here on the Louisiana Texas line, they are proud of this and will tell you.
Roger the Dodger:
read his post……Exactly, nice drop in. Think about what was said in his post.
I hope that fried chicken was juicy. NOM NOM NOM!!
Wow! Besides being in poor taste, I think it was unfortunate that children were in the room during this “joke” (you can clearly hear the kids in the room towards the end of the clip).
What’s next for Bennett and his brother…making fun of lynchings and cross burnings?
