View Full Version : Bryant Gumbel..On The Winter Olympics

Finally tonight, the Winter Games.
Count me among those who don't like 'em and won't watch 'em.
In fact I figure when Thomas Payne said "These are the times that try men's souls" he must have been talking about the start of another Winter Olympics.
Because they are so trying, maybe over next three weeks we should all try too.
Like try not to be incredulous when someone tries to link these games to those of the ancient Greeks who never heard of skating or skiing.
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.
Try not to point out that something's not really a sport if a pseudoathlete waits in what's called a kiss and cry area while some panel of subjective judges decides who won.
And try to blot out all logic when announcers and sports writers pretend to care about the luge, the skeleton, the biathlon, and all those other events they don't understand and totally ignore for all but three weeks...every four years.
Face it. These Olympics are little more than a marketing plan to fill space and sell time during the dreary days of February.
So for only to hasten the arrival of the day they're done and we can move on to March Madness, for God's sake..let the games begin.
And that's our show for this evening....
Damn he totally rips the Winter Olympics...in a Bryant Gumbel kinda way. :dabs:

Sounds like the crux of all of this is a lack of black althletes.
Good old racist drivel.
Gymnastics and diving have "cry and kiss" areas, as well.
The luge, skeleton and biathalon are as riveting as the shotput, discus throw, high jump, long jump, javelin throw, pole vault, and triatholon and all the other Summer games that get no press outside of the Olympics. Rarely there are televised track meets, used as filler, when the major sports are dormant.
To confine the legitimate "games" as ones the Ancient Greeks would have hosted fails to relfect the evolution and diversification of sports and misses the entire concept of showcasing those who excel in sport.
Basically, Bryan doesn't like white guy sports. He essentially says that these games cannot possibly host "great" athletes because black men will be scarse.
I personally don't really care about the Winter Olympics, but I will take pause to point out overt racist, fuckwit commentary.

Damn I didn't get that the whole commentary was racist. Maybe one line out of many.
I just thought it was a good rip on the surface but underneath it was bullshit.
I think the Winter Games AND The World Championships were made to fill time.
The Winter Games just have more credence 'cause the events aren't duplicated.
He is right though that...I can't wait 'till March Madness. :w00t:

Sure it is a rip, but why?
White atheletes.
What about the slolum, hockey, ski jump, downhill, bobsled and all those other fun Oympics winter sports.
I brought up all those other Summer games that suffer from the same fate as the winter games he sites.
He brought up the lack of black athletes for what reason?
He could have just said that the Winter games had activities most never care about outside the media driven hype of Winter Olympic.
His comments were overtly racist and completely unacceptable.
What a fuck ass.
I also am totally stoked about March Madness.

I just don't get where the whole diatribe was racist.
He made comments in an "and also" fashion.
For instance, if black athletes were predominate, the other reasons would still stand on their own(even though those were flawed as well).
What's fucked up about March Madness is I will definitely be back at work.:angry: .......right when it starts too.
Oh well I'll be on light duty but it's not like I can sit in front of a TV like I do now.:lookaroun

Why did he not mention the "kiss and cry" areas in the Summer Olympics for fairness?
What did that add, other than expose his true offense.
Most summer games, which involve black atheletes, suffer the same fate as the Winter games he wants to disrespect.
The impetus was racism, pure and simple.

I actually quoted it directly from Real Sports With Bryant Gumbel on HBO. It's the current episode so it should have repeats all the way up to the 18th.
It was his last little commentary right before signing off.
Your last sentence pretty much summed it up. Hardly anyone watches the Winter Olympics around here FOR VARIOUS REASONS.

So if the one line about the "paucity of blacks" wasn't there then that would have changed the entire commentary?
Sorry I don't buy it.
And tbh, race does play a role in who watches. I can count many numbers of people who all of sudden watch golf 'cause of TigerTigerTiger Woods ya'll.
I'm one of them (I don't watch often or even an entire match but still).
Are these people racist?
This is where I say you focused on one line out of the whole commentary.
The same thing about race was said about golf ages ago.....and college basketball.....and quarterbacks and coaches in football....and...
I remember one time I made a remark about wanting to see more good white basketball players in the NBA. I was called racist. :idunno:
The only reason I know the Olympics started is 'cause I was watching PTI and they mentioned it. It wasn't big news on that sport show either.

That was the ONLY line that mattered. It setup the entire post. It was the pivot point.
I simply focused on the fulcrum, the point upon which all commentary hinged.
Why was the race of the invovled participants inculded?
Because that was important to Bryant.
The rest was just just bullshit, all he cared abourt was black involvement.
Why did he include the race of those involved?
Why did he mot mention the "kiss and cry" areas of the Summer Olympics.
To deny the obvious is an embarrassment.

Why did whites in droves root for Gerry Cooney back in the day?
Overt racism? :dabs:
You do not know the mind.
You have made race the pivot point (or the fulcrum :ermm:).
The mere mention of race at any point and time does not make it the basis of any commentary.
It is not taboo.

The answer is overt racism, as I initially stated.
One can say that that I have no interest in "x" sport, but is another thing to degrade said sport because it does not contain "blacks".
That is racism, and that is the racist, Bryant Gumbel.

It is overt racism if you decide that golf is stupid and a created only and simply because white peoplke like it and play it well. You feel it is stupid also soley because black people don't play it.
That is Gumbels' only arguement.
He hates the winter Olympics because black athletes are not featured.
He is just a racist fucktard.

What revelance does it have on the winter Olympics as being legitimate.

I have already named many more Summer Olympic games that get the same level of coverage outside the actual Olympic games.
You are in some type of massive denial.
This is ALL about race, to that fucking racist fucktard.
How can you not admit this?
Having interest in a sport because you have someone to engage your interest is far removed from telling everyone that someone is not an athlete or the Olypmics are a joke because you do not have a black athlete to follow. What a huge distinction and what a racist commentary.

Here's the thing...he mentioned more than blacks in his commentary. All you see is race.
GOP conventions have a lack of blacks in them, btw.
He said he's not watching for umpteen reasons. He even cites that some of the sports aren't interesting.

I see what he is really talking about.
I am really sorry for you that you don't want want to admit this.
His commentary is shameful, racist and ignorant.
Busy, you really have to learn to see through the words to the meaning.
He has said nothing about the Winter Olympics that could not be said for the Summer.
He has made specific points that no Winter Olympic game could be considered representive of great athletes without blacKs
When referencing a GOP convention one is supposed to think of "whites", that is why he used that specific reference. Otherwise, it would have been completely pointless.
Seriously, do you even believe the bullshit you are trying to sell?
All he had to say was that he doesn't like ice/snow related events and was not going to watch.
The very specific comment that all events involved could not be considered the best athletes because blacks were not involved, clearly points to his racist fuckhole perspective.

First off, I'm not trying to sell any bullshit.
His entire commentary was flawed.....yet it wasn't. That's why I said "in a Bryant Gumbel kinda way."
All those reasons he stated ARE reasons that many don't watch the Winter Games whether they apply to Summer or not. He's talking about Winter and it's as a whole.
Again I heard the same racial utterances for college basketball, NBA basketball, NFL football, hockey, baseball, golf, and tennis.
Flaw - ancient Greeks didn't have basketball in the Summer Games either.
However - there were no Winter Games AT ALL.
---
Flaw - blacks on a whole either don't have the interest and/or mainly the access to be involved in many winter competitions.
However - whites do not nearly represent the entire world.
---
Flaw - the Summer Games have subjective judged events also (I think more).
However - he's talking about the Winter Games. He's talking on a whole why he isn't watching.
---
Flaw - the discus and some other events in the Summer Games get very little time either
However - most people know those events very well and they are quite common outside of TV. You most likely did them in high school. Biathlon, skeleton, luge?
---
I don't know the origin rationale behind the Winter Games (marketing?, cater to those that live in colder climates?) but he's on the money about March Madness.
Bryant Gumbel hosts a show called Real Sports on HBO, which purports to celebrate ALL sports, and is generally expressive of a universal respect of and for all sport; it is the very basis of the show.
Gumbel chooses to devote a commentary exclusively to his view of the Winter Olympic games as a boredom- and ennui-inducing non-spectacle, and cannot muster within himself the least interest for them.
It would seem to be at least slightly inappropriate for Gumbel to knock sport in any form (save cock-fighting, possibly) given that it is the milieu from which he derives a paycheck, and, in any case, one wonders whom he intended to take note of his pique, and why?
The answer to these questions is contained in that single sentence about the "paucity of blacks" causing the proceedings to resemble nothing quite so much as a "GOP convention".
Absent that sentence, his little rant is nothing other than an inappropriate comment in an inappropriate forum; it would have conveyed the message rather well, though, had his point been only that he couldn't be bothered to tune in to the games.
Inclusion of the sentence reveals his compulsion for the entire piece; it is his raison d'etre.
That makes him a racist, smarmy specie.
Period.

He mentioned so the entire piece must be race. Maybe those people that made comment about the paucity of blacks on certain college basketball teams were racist too. Adolf Rupp anyone?
Oh and on that same show there was a lengthy story on the 1984 Winter Olympic skiing champ, Bill Johnson.
Oh and Bryant Gumbel has one black reporter, James Brown, on his roster for the show.
Oh and I'm watching PTI right now and they are talking about why they aren't watching either.
If they had mentioned race, their entire talk about it would have made them racists.
I understand now.
Sorry to break it to the "white men" that don't get it but race sometimes plays an important role in drumming interest in a sport.

Because Bill Johnson has fought his way back from an accident that damn near killed him.
I'm sure if he was black, Bryant would have done the interview himself...
WTF has Adolf Rupp to do with anything in this thread?
The subject of your thread was Bryant Gumbel's view that the Winter Games were a waste of his time.

You got that he wasn't watching JUST 'cause of lack of blacks.
...THAT is his reason for speaking up?
Why doesn't he favor us with everything else he doesn't like about sports?
I imagine you probably watch his show at least semi-regularly; what was the last sport or event he set aside special time for the "Gumbel Treatment"?
It might be 'cause you're white.
Oh, I see; perceptions having to do with race are not valid unless uttered by a black man; if I may be granted your gracious permission, I'll go ahead and conclude you've just called me a racist.

My comprehension was flawed. I missed "not". You missed an entire post. I also forgot to correct it when I said "Sorry man. Read it again."
I read it again.
It still says "yes", and it still says "no".
Which is it to be?
If you want to edit it, fine; I won't jump your shit like manker does.
Sorry. Post 34. I didn't go back to the original.
You don't have to jump my shit. I'll throw it at you willingly.

Busy uses "a broken link" as a racial insult towards white people :dabs: (http://www.busymancallseveryonearacist.com)

Don't confuse people who are whacked out on painkillers. That's just mean.

1. What's a GOP Convention.
2. They can be described as the best athletes in the World, because they are the best in the World at what they do.
3. The fact that not many black people compete, is because they aren't interested in the sports and consequently not good at them. That has no effect on point 2.
4. To use the paucity of black people as a reason to decry the games is silly. It can be applied to many sports. Swimming and Horse Riding are obvious examples.
5. There won't be many Asians there either. Again that will have no effect on whether those who do compete are the best at what they do.

All this is of no moment to Mr. Gumbel.
He hates the Winter Olympics on principle. :)

A strange position for the host of a TV sports show, if I've picked you chaps up right.
Perhaps he doesn't consider skiing down an almost vertical slope at a whore of a speed to be a "Real Sport", like darts.

What of Ice Hockey, does he look on that as a parlour game. It seems quite fast, skillful and physical to me. However I'm no expert.

Your surmise is correct.
BTW-have you cleared space in your in-box?
