Bryant Gumbel Double Standard

On HBO, Bryant Gumbel has made comments that are at best unwise and really amount to being racist.

Commenting on the Olympics he said that he didn't want to watch the Olympics because none of the people there were real athletes and that this was largely because there were few blacks there.

Now imagine if a white commentator had said he won't watch NBA basketball because there aren't very many white players.

Yet HBO is doing little or nothing to Gumbel...

And this surprises you how? Of course there is a double standard. There has been ever since Bakke was decided.

Bryant is an idiot who has nothing to lose, so he really doesn't care what happens to him on this show. If he spouts off racist hate and gets fired, I don't think he would lose any sleep. He is just a despicable human being. Need I say more.
