Plus laughing about a guy hitting a horse with a closed fist can't be good either.

I thought you were on the side that what the outrider did was bad?

Well you have a habit of needing to justify your opinions. You’re trying to do that here but I actually watched the show and you’re being misleading at best.

Not sure why you’d think I was on any side. I said the optics were bad (they were) and that the sport missed an opportunity to educate. Honestly, I’ve seen very little backlash about what happened outside of this thread. The entire thing is much ado about nothing and distracts from the race.

I’ve seen more chatter about a dumb tweet Eric Reed made months ago than this.

I've seen quite a bit of conversation about the incident. Running about 4-1 against the outrider.

I feel bad for the guy. I've never heard anything but great things about him. I rode horses for his wife when I was an agent.

I'll never come off my opinion that irregardless of the situation he was mistaken to take the action he did.

That much is obvious.

You’re entitled to your opinion. Just like people are free to disagree.

My only point was I felt you were playing fast and loose with what was actually said, in an effort to bolster “your side.”

Andy agreed with me that Wilbon HATES horse racing.

Over the years I've heard him say a myriad of ignorant, insensitive things.

What does any of that have to do with what was said today?

What did Wilbon say TODAY that was anti racing or about this topic other than is it normal for one horse to try and eat another horse?

I was more disappointed by Kornheiser today than Wilbon.

That’s fine.

I saw nothing wrong with the segment and appreciated Kornheiser saying he loves the Derby.

We can agree to disagree

If I recall correctly, you once said you’ve never said anything good or bad about Bob Baffert. But you’ve now spent three days blasting an outrider at Churchill Downs.

Kind of bizarre, imo.

Ok. Sounds good.
