Synopsis:  marathon.  Sideline reporter makes blatantly racist comment... all other commentators stop talking.  Silence ensues.

The commentators didn't think so.  That's why they wouldn't touch it.

I think it's okay because the comment was innocuous.  Everyone should lighten up a bit on this stuff.  It's all about context.

The funny part is imagining what's happening during the silence.  I imagine the commentator grimacing and quietly pounding his forehead right after saying it, and his partner pointing at him and laughing under his breath.

Nice, short comment from Malcolm Gladwell on the issue of Kenyan runners:

I really don't see what he said as "blatantly racist". He offered a reason as to why the lead runner's break from the pack was so effective, it sounded pretty reasonable to me.

Never argue with an idiot, he'll just drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
