Go right ahead and explain how it is funny or "brave"
So if we are over 35, we should be good with his BS? I am not!
Yeah, I can't believe how many people are complaining about how awkward it was when it was meant to be that way. However, funny, it wasn't and it was in poor taste to boot.
If you don’t watch local news enough to realize how cringy it is on a daily basis, especially WHO, well, congrats on having a life, I guess. Fales’ longevity there is just a testament to his dorky mediocrity. Don’t even get me started on little girl interviewer Ed Wilson. That just is not the entertainment they apparently think it is.
The bit was kind of funny- he said it without saying it. But…if he had taken a little artistic license with any other race with the same content, he’d have been fired. There’s a racial double-standard that our society is generally ok with.
There’s a part of me that thinks people need to relax a little bit and not take everything so serious and another part of me thinks…but you still can’t say stuff like that. Injecting race is almost always bad form and doesn’t really seem relevant in any situation, especially in sports.
The real tragedy for our local ‘media’ is instead of focusing on how good our team is playing, they focus on nonsense. It should bug him that the toe was completely non-competitive the week before in Columbus.

Doubt it. It's not like he was saying bad tings about him. He was saying great things about it.
My response falls under the parameters of a Ron White statement "I had the right to remain silent, I just didn't have the ability". To me this is one of the issues with todays society. Everybody is overly sensitive and has to be politically correct because "you hurt my feelings". Rather than interpreting this as a racial statement, view it as a compliment to our black athletes, or at least a compliment to Carson. There was no ill attempt here and if this didn't fall into your "humor category", dismiss it and move on. Was it done well? Hell I don't know, I'm not a critic, but it made me laugh..

That was not funny, that was just stupid. Does Andy understand football, has he heard of Christian McCaffrey?
Is it really a double standard if everyone in here is saying it is cringe for the same reason it would be for anyone else? Odd take.
Local celebrities are an interesting bunch
It’s just the episode of South Park where the Marsh ‘s move to SF and buy a Prius on repeat.
