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.

Wilbon is a racist and his disdain for racing is rooted in his racism.
