CBS Announcer Apologizes For Comment About Chris Johnson
Filed Under: , , ,

CBS announcer Gus Johnson apologized on Tuesday after making a controversial remark describing Titans RB Chris Johnson on Sunday. As Chris Johnson broke through the Jaguars' defense for a 52-yard TD run, Gus Johnson, in his excitable style, said of the Titans tailback, "He's got getting-away-from-the-cops speed!" Gus Johnson gave this statement about the comment to USA TODAY's Michael Hiestand: "If there is a perception of racism in this analogy, it is not coming from me. People of all races have run from the law. However, to those who are offended, I apologize."

WTF?? So, if he'd said that linemen are "slow as molasses" then he'd have to apologize to them and to syrup manufacturers? This is beyond absurd.

who cares, is this country that fucking pussified that we can't move on from statements like this? It's his opinion, so what...God we are a bunch of ninnies. Some people believe we evolve from apes, some don't but in the end we all have our opinions and suspicions.

Nothing wrong with getting away from the cops speed...I'd love to have it.

Be careful, Sweets. You could be accused of being racist, an animal hater or blasphemist.

Yes, we all know there is racism. It's not a good thing.

But do you you seriously think the comment from this story was racism? Give me a break.

If you're referring to the line by 86WARD, that's something we call call sarcasm.
