Fox’s Terry Bradshaw causes stir with ‘bucket of chicken’ comment
An attempt at an inside joke by former NFL quarterback and Fox studio analyst Terry Bradshaw during the Fox halftime show on Sunday has caused a bit of a controversy. While describing Miami Dolphins running back Reggie Bush's remarkable 18-yard touchdown run against the Indianapolis Colts, a play where Bush made half the Colts defense look completely silly, Bradshaw took a shot at his colleague, former NFL head coach Jimmy Johnson. "Look at this, Jimmy," said Bradshaw, "like he was chasing that bucket of chicken that the wind was blowing the other day." Because Bush is African-American, many have jumped to the conclusion that the mention of a bucket of chicken means there was a racial element to Bradshaw's comment. In the video, Fox studio host Curt Menefee, who is African-American, audibly groans and asks, "What are we going to do with him?" http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-sh...5262--nfl.html On Monday morning, Menefee took to Twitter to say that Bradshaw's comment was actually an inside joke at Fox, where Johnson's love of fried chicken has apparently reached a mythical status, and that this whole affair is much ado about nothing. |

If a black person said this, no big deal.
It's a shame that there is such a double standard. |

Even if he meant it as a racial thing, is it actually a derogatory comment? Can't people just joke about racial differences, in a fun way, without people getting upset.

Nope. Not ever. None of us are allowed to joke about our racial differences in a fun, jovial way.

Of course not. The Colonel is most certainly black.

Romeo is black, but my guess is, if somebody made that comment about him... there would be no accusation of racism.
