This isn't Kerr's first foray into silliness. In 2010, while GM of the Phoenix Suns, he likened Arizona to Nazi Germany because of Arizona's Anti-Illegal Immigration Law (SB 1070). Reasonable people can disagree on the merits of the law, of course, but generally he who first likens his opponent to Hitler or Nazi Germany loses the argument and respect.
Just as he presumed (incorrectly, I think) that all Americans of hispanic descent favor illegal immigration and/or that anyone opposed to illegal immigration is by definition a Nazi...It's really elitist and a bit arrogant. He made the presumption that a football player had to be poor and unable to afford luxuries...
It's their job to question thingsWhy?
It is an NBA TV analyst's job to question who is in attendance at an NBA game and how they paid for their seat. Got it.It's their job to question things
I remember, and always cheer for every ASU opponent because of, this...Kerr should certainly understand insensitive remarks. From an old SI story about fan behavior:
• In February 1988, Arizona senior guard Steve Kerr was cruelly reminded of the murder of his father -- Malcolm H. Kerr, the president of the American University of Beirut -- by terrorists in Lebanon four years earlier. In a game against archrival Arizona State, in Tempe, Kerr was taunted by Sun Devils fans, who yelled "PLO, PLO.""
I thought that was an usher's job? lolIt is an NBA TV analyst's job to question who is in attendance at an NBA game and how they paid for their seat. Got it.
NICELY done, Audio!Sure, how's that?
:biggrin:
Kerr was just using" Johnny Courtside" ® as a medium to attack the SECThat would be like journalists questioning why Greg McElroy was driving around Tuscaloosa in a Land Rover. It doesn't take much digging to discover that Manziels parents, like GMAC's, are not short on cash. That is why his Dad could move the whole family from Kerrville to College Station and put his daughter in the very expensive Allen Academy in Bryan, just to be near Johnny and help keep him on the straight and narrow. That is why Johnny tools around College Station in a bright red 2012 Camaro. I don't think Daddy Manziel has a regular day job. Seeing as how they are originally from Tyler, TX I would posit that it is good old fashioned East Texas oil money.
Kerr should have done some Googling before making comments like that.
The ignorant announcer has now started apologizing on his Twitter feed and saying it was a joke. He obviously missed the memo that Johnny Manziel has wealthy parents who can easily afford these tickets. Move on.
Oh, I guess Kerr never got anything on the side at Zona. They don't do that in the Pac-10.Steve Kerr makes a stupid SEC remark, too.
To his father, those seats are pocket change. Should he slink around in sack cloth, despite the wealth of his family, in order not to give the wrong impression? I suppose GMac shouldn't have driven an expensive SUV or not treated the team to steak dinners after the team won, just because his family had money and he needed to hide the fact? This whole thing is ridiculous...I don't know how many folks have priced NBA tickets, but they are ridiculously expensive. Especially given the fact the Heat were in town, the seats he had could easily have been $1,500.
I'm not saying Kerr was right, but my eyes got wide when I saw Johnny Football in those seats. At the least, it didn't look good. Who knows, though? Maybe he actually did buy them for himself as a birthday present.
