TNT's Charles Barkley apologizes for 'attempted joke' after allegedly telling female reporter 'I would hit you'
Charles Barkley apologized to a reporter Wednesday for what he called an attempted joke, following claims the NBA Hall of Famer had told her I dont hit women but if I did I would hit you.
The TNT basketball commentator's response came a day after Axios reporter Alexi McCammond tweeted about the alleged exchange.
McCammond, a politics reporter covering the 2020 presidential election, wrote: Just FYI Charles Barkley told me tonight I dont hit women but if I did I would hit you, and then when I objected to that he told me I couldnt take a joke.

Not a joke.
Maybe she deserves to be hit. Charles could be correct.

TOTALLY looks to me that Charles Barkley likes to beat on women - and sexual assault is probably involved.
Guys like Barkley have a prediliction for violating younger virgin women.
Wonder how many he has bought off the child sex-trafficking market?

...and it’s getting worse, like the NFL. Their attitudes and “showmanship” are destroying sports.

It crossed my mind that Barkley may not have meant “hit” like Rocky Balboa; but rather like Laz. In the photo she looks rather like a child. Is SHE the reporter? Man, I’m really getting OLD!

He just failed to put in the "on". But pictures would only prove this
No harm, no foul just some free throws

So, was he talking a “hit” hit or a “Laz” hit?
To get the Left off him, he can say he meant if he was attracted to women, he would have hit on her but he just doesn’t hit on women...

She ran straight to twitter to explain what he said. Guys have to understand that most of todays generation of women are looking for a look at me moment and will share everything on social media
To: BenLurkin
And that’s what I believe Charles was saying.

Not to my knowledge - I prefaced my comment about that with “To get the Left off him,”
Because if he was “non-binary” and she was a plain vanilla woman, the Left would trash her instead of him.
