66 I hate to defend Bill Cunningham because he is a BOOB, but what he said here is not that bad. While you could make the argument that it was implied, he never ACTUALLY mentioned race here. What ever happened to free speech? This guy has made a living off controversy and talking about it only makes him continue. 4014955

65 What's the beef here? How many kids do they have out of wedlock and where's the outrage at that? Do the Bearcats players have Shawn Kemp tattoo's? Daffy Duck wants some answers here! 4013442

64 This is hilarious. What ever happened to free speech? Blacks have a whole month honoring their achievements and they have black conventions and all these other RACIST events to promote their pride. The comment that Willie said isn't even racist. He said it was the basketball team. I think it is racist that people on here don't think white people can play basketball at the college level. What is so wrong with Willie Cunningham mentioning a FACT! At least it is a FACT, unlike the junk you hear from the NY Times. I think this is a travesty and I hope that the rest of the nation isn't as dumb as the people commenting on this website. If you don't like what he has to say, don't listen. I don't go to Jesse Jackson's sermons. This is America. If you pull him off the radio, it will be sadder than the day that Barack HUSSEIN Obama was elected President. 4012857

63 This is hilarious. What happened to Freedom of Speech!!!! Blacks complain about how they aren't heard and how everything needs to be about them. We have black history month and we have these black conventions and all that other RACIST stuff. How is it such a horrible thing that a radio announcer in a conservative issue points out a FACT! At least he is reporting FACTS unlike the New York Times. Bill Cunningham is a good American. Everyone else is dirty scum who is ruining America. If you're black, don't listen to Willie. I'm white and I don't listen to Jesse Jackson. It's that easy. 4012700

61 These comments are ignorant and not worth talking about. He should definately be reprimanded. We live in a day of PC. So he should represent his station with dignity and not be so rude! 4008562

58 First of all, no one said anything about race or the Black Basketball players. Second, Is it true? If He isn't lying about it then no harm no foul. He didn't say they were bad parents, he was just noting that there seems to be a trend happening. Third, If the players scored as much on the court as they apparently do off the court, nobody would say anything. Winners don't get the criticism that Losers get. 4007688

57 What is wrong with calling a Spade a Spade? Good Fathers? Give me a break! As long as someone else is supporting them they may be. These children will most likely end up in some part of the welfare system for much of their young lives because their fathers will not "man-up" to their responsibilities. How many pro players do you think are on the team today? By the way..this support system that will help feed and clothe these children was created by and is mainly funded by Old White Men. Keep it up Cunningham! 4007614

Members of the Cincinnati men's basketball team were the target of <a href="http://mediamatters.org/countyfair/200901150008" target="_blank">provocative comments</a> by a local radio talk show host earlier today. On The Big Show with Bill Cunningham, conservative opinionator Bill Cunningham posed the open question: "How many illegitimate children does the UC men's basketball team have?" "I heard it's more than a half dozen." Cunningham responded to himself, ignoring his producer's conciliatory reply. "So there's some hangin' and bangin' going on at the Shoemaker Center after the game. ... [T]hey're poppin' those things out like cherry pits out of one's mouth." <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="320" height="260" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"> <param name="src" value="http://mediamatters.org/static/flash/mediaplayer316.swf" /> <param name="flashvars" value="config=http://mediamatters.org/embed/cfg%3Fflv%3Dhttp://mediamatters.org/static/video/embed/cunningham-20090114-children.flv" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="320" height="260" src="http://mediamatters.org/static/flash/mediaplayer316.swf" flashvars="config=http://mediamatters.org/embed/cfg%3Fflv%3Dhttp://mediamatters.org/static/video/embed/cunningham-20090114-children.flv"></embed> </object> What do you think about Cunningham's comments?
