The only people upset are the 22 racing fans that frequent these boards that heard it. The reality is that racing is VERY LOW in the rankings of what sports fans watch and care about the most and what he said is true. Racing IS a joke and all of us here know it. Getting upset at him saying it is the same as when we can talk about our own family.....but let someone outside of the family say the same thing and it's grounds for a fight.
I've always thought that Wilbon is one of the most well-rounded sports journalists out there. Very educated and articulate. There probably aren't 100 people watching that show that give a damn about horse racing. I'm not sure there are 100 people in the country that do.
