Brotha Walt when it comes to writing about sports on the internet you and a brotha named DK Wilson are the best I have ever seen.
That is real talk....
Also I wanted to point out to everyone that this is not the first time TNT has given Barkley a show to talk about race and or politics.
If you guys remember in the early or mid 2000s TNT gave Barkley a show then and had it come on an hour before the TNT pregame show. He also had a segment on CNN at the same time and would come over and discuss the latest issues.
So TNT/CNN been trying to prop him up for years and Barkley has taken full advantage of this shyt.
This also speaks to a larger issue that I have discussed with friends and family. Gone are the days when qualified folks would discuss issues on tv (50s, 60s and 70s). Now a days (started in the 90s) where anyone with popularity is picked and either given a show or thrown on a show to talk or interview folks about subjects that they are not qualified for.
Too many times I can turn on the TV and some fool is giving advice that they have no academic education in or license in or worked as a professional in. Or they are interviewing folks yet have no journalism exp. or education in that field. Some how cause these folks got some tv, or movie, or sports, or internet, or radio or Twitter or Facebook following that shyt makes them a subject matter expert.
No other place does this shyt exist to the levels it does on cable and network TV.
I mean can an engineer, professor or doctor go to an interview and the hiring manager is like so do you have any education and/or experience in this field and jokers be like naw I just read a couple of books and watched some videos on youtube and I heard some shyt from my friends.....that should be enough to get me hired.
Just the total and complete dumbing down of America.
