Breitbart: ESPN and the SEC Network took swift action after analyst Barry Booker after he made an off-the-cuff remark about watching “scantily clad girls” on the NCAA gymnastics mats.
The comment came during Sunday’s SEC Network broadcast of a men’s basketball game between Missouri and Arkansas when Booker and announcer Richard Cross began talking about an upcoming Alabama-Arkansas women’s gymnastics meet.
Cross said he thought that being on Valentine’s Day, the meet could be a good “date night idea.”
“Go hang out with the ladies…I mean, I wanna go see some scantily clad girls!” Booker joked in reply.
Cross was immediately wary of the joke and quickly said. “No, no!” before adding that gymnastics offers one of the “great family atmospheres” in sports.
“That was Barry Booker.” Cross added, making clear that he was not the one who referred to female gymnasts as “scantily clad girls.” read more
Well at least they get a lot of exercise pulling their onesie out of their butt crack on a continual basis!
They have on more clothes than the Superbowl halftime show, Barry.
Those outfits are EMPOWERING you rotten misogynists!!
Look at me. DON’T YOU LOOK AT ME!
I’ve never seen a gymnast in a Burka.
Booker is black. This story dies today.
If Joe Biden had said it, would it have made the news?
Agreed, anonymous…Too soon after Kobe to bring this up.
Any comment coming about the whoreywood women and their trashy leave nothing to the imagination gowns seen on the red carpet?
“Thank heaven for little girls,
Thank heaven for them all,
No matter where no matter who,
For without them, what would little boys do?”
Turn into Buttigieg’s.
The new trend of female athletes’ asses hanging out of their uniforms is one that BEGS oogling. They have nothing to complain about.
They are usually scantily breasted also.
Makes you wonder how male gymnasts manage to do their routine without their ass cheeks hanging out. Just sayin.
…that’s nothing compared to Creepy Joe talking about HIGH SCHOOL cheerleaders…
“Guess what, the cheerleaders in college are the best athletes in college,” Biden said.
“You think, I’m joking, they’re almost all gymnasts, the stuff they do on hard wood, it blows my mind.”

…ick, ick, ick, ick ick, ick,ICK, but that’s Joey…
I get paid 50 dollars an hour to kill people like Larryonson and Marsocarndt.
Ew! Icky girls!
What??? You gotta bigga problem with the truth, again??
“Too soon after Kobe to bring this up.”
Meh, I guess it wasn’t “rape” rape. Yeah, that’s the ticket, Kobe, it wasn’t CRIMINAL rape, it was CIVIL rape.
…I am genuinely surprised that none of the gymnast were 300 pound dudes in makeup and leotards that got participation trophies tthroughout high school so they think they’re chicks AND gymnasts just because no one wants to hurt they’re fweewings…
I prefer scantily-clad boys ……. well, naked house boys, actually …..
Pete, while you’re here…How do you pronounce your husband’s name? Is it “chaysin”, “Chassten” or “Daddy”
Thirdtwin,
Usually my mouth is either stuffed into a pillow or … uhh … stuffed with something else … so I don’t really pronounce it at all.
He enjoys the “whip and the ride” – as he calls it.
Booker’s stupid hanging out is pretty ugly though.
So, they’re not scantily clad? Or is it just bad to actually take note of it?
Well… They are, but it’s disrespectful of them as athletes to refer to them that way publicly.

“I’ve never seen a gymnast in a Burka.”
…perhaps not, but there’s this…

…but even SHE admits, sort of, that it’s stupid…
“Yet Ruhi does feel a little different compared to the other girls in gymnastics.
“Having to wear a hijab restricts me from showing my full potential,” she said.”
…but then she backs off of it and blames Whitey, or Christiany, or, you know, something ELSE…
“Sometimes I wish I don’t have to wear it because it bothers me how people react to the hijab. They act differently than they would if I were not to wear it. Some people are very ignorant as to how I deal with my situation. I constantly get questions about how I can do dance and gymnastics without it getting in the way of my religion. It irritates me that they don’t understand.”
…yeah, it’s peoples’ REACTIONS holding you back, riiiight, go with that…good job avoiding that beating by the Shari’a police for disrespecting your medieval female oppression garment, tho, props for THAT, honey…
Super, i stand somewhat corrected. Had a feeling someone was bound to find something.😉
Women like to see half-naked (or full neked men) too. They used to call it “beefcake”, as opposed to “cheesecake”.
I took a girlfriend once to a male strip club many years ago. The women in the audience were yelling and screaming and beating on the tables with little wooden hammers the club gave them. A wild and crazy scene.
It seemed to be some kind of therapy to them: primal scream therapy.
Yeah, I wish they had better outfits, too.
One of the Columbo shows, had a well-endowed female character who had to keep telling the men, “My eyes are up here!”
Considering that unitards have been around for decades and are in fact completely modest and necessary with their complete lack of restrictions on the ligaments- I find his remarks to be really strange.
Tack on the fact that most if not all gymnastic participants are underaged and I find his remarks to be disgusting, repulsive, and prison worthy. 🙃
