CBS analyst Doug Gottlieb got coverage of the NCAA tournament's Sweet 16 off to an awkward start, saying he was there to bring the "white man's perspective" to the network's pregame show.

Doug is why nobody can look at a white man without worrying that their credit cards are about to be stolen.

So much stupid here it's ridiculous.

Obviously it's a stupid comment that is only going to cause trouble.

Equally stupid, however, is that somehow it's wrong or racist or controversial to acknowledge race.

From the linked article:

"I know this has nothing to do with the game; I want to say something about Doug Gottlieb," Barkley said. "He made a joke earlier tonight and people are going crazy. All those idiots on Twitter, which I would never ever do, all you people at home who've got no life and are talking bad about Doug Gottlieb, get a life. It's over with. It's no big deal."

Charles Barkley, the level-headed voice of reason.

Barkley is right in this instance.

I find Gottlieb's past at OSU to be much more offensive than these comments.

I find his desire to have the spotlight, by arguing every part of the game with some of his colleagues offensive..

[Sooner95]

When he opened up his segment with that, I was kind of wondering why? But I didn't think it was a big deal. No one else seemed to care to much on the set either.

Having said that, why is he there? He offers nothing..lol

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Barkley is right in this instance.yes. Wish he was more often.

Add one.

Tell the pansies to keep their mouths shut. Its like people sit around all day just waiting for something to offend them.

I agree. There is a lot of outrage by proxy these days. It gets old.

Gottlieb is a dweeb, and he's an even bigger dweeb for apologizing. Hell, if Barkley had said something like "I'm here to give a brother's opinion" it'd have been laughed off and he'd never apologize - and shouldn't. The PC apologists in this country make me wanna vomit liver bile.

Gottlieb is white, Barkley is black. Gottlieb apologizes, probably forced too. Barkley would never be asked to. Not for something so ridiculous that isn't even close to 90% of what they say on their TNT show.

Jewish people are white?

That makes for a very necessary fun fact
