Yup.
He just says he is a Democrat to stay safe in the hood.
He knows the D party is a fraud—and he is a rich guy!
I like it when Charles throws a few elbows. It’s rough out there, and not just only under the boards.
Barry O’Bama didn’t like how his bracket went. Or maybe Michelle’s brother wasn’t happy with college basketball. That’s why the FBI is involved in college basketball. Or that’s my theory. lol
Charles is right about some things every now and again. He is largely ignorant.
Democrats are always investigating sports. Barry Bonds finally beat his perjury charges from Congress’ investigation into doping in baseball.
That’s turrible.
He was at least at one point. He was friends with Rush way back then
Just Charles being Charles.
Charles is an idiot liberal. He hates conservatives like us and is not our friend.
Charles—not a conservative... check.
But he isn’t so lockstep that he doesn’t occasionally stumble on and protest bullcrap. Also, he doesn’t self-censor much to stay within party lines, although, as you point out, he has substantial internal biases.
Desperate for a headline...
Don’t worry, Charles. The FBI has plenty of agents to do A LOT of investigating and many other things.
Charles’ brain works as well as his golf swing.
Why should I give a damn what this guy says? He obviously doesn’t know as much as my grandchildren do about politics and why the lives of Black people in America can be so miserable. Poor dunce thinks it is because of Republicans taking care of “rich people.” Go away Milk Dud Head, go away.
Sir Charles becomes Sir Douche.
I don’t think people like Charles Barkley know it, but they’re going to kill the goose that laid the golden egg. I think we are entering a period of the slow decline of major college sports, which will eventually destroy opportunities for hundreds of young people from lower class areas.
No one wants to watch professional athletes masquerading as college teams, but that’s where we’re headed if the call to pay college players becomes reality. And that’s what most sports commentators want. It’s largely racially motivated too. The argument basically boils down to poor black kids exploited by rich white coaches and administrators.
If college athletes do become “employees” as the NLRB ruled, it’s only a matter of time until they unionize. Then rules like four years of eligibility, minimum number of credits per semester, etc will go out the window. At some point that becomes a bigger joke that the amateur status they’re trying to uphold today.
A top high school recruit has opted for the NBA’s minor league, and the NFL is thinking about starting their own minor league. These leagues and European basketball leagues are going to siphon off the best talent. If college football and basketball survive, it will be on an Ivy League level, with no scholarships and no huge TV contracts.
There will still be cheating of course. But the athlete who could never make it on his academic record will never get a shot at benefiting from college. He’ll wash out in the minors and end up in prison instead. And yes that happens now too. But Barkley had better stop to think about what he really wants to see happen before he upsets the apple cart.
Sir Charles is relatively intelligent.
His relatives think he’s intelligent.
Nobody likes big government especially when it affects them. But I’m sure he’s ok with the FBI investigating Trump.
But that being said, the FBI is now just another deep state Gestapo agency. We be a lot better off with a much smaller and tightly controlled agency.
FBI and big government suck.
I think there's one thing people can agree with Barkley on: Charles Barkley calls himself a dumb-ss - YouTube
