Howard Cosell

[bigunreal]

Aside from Muhammed Ali, no other figure in modern times had a more
disastrous effect on the sports world than Howard Cosell, IMHO. Not
only did this ugly and arrogant sports "journalist" poison
the airwaves with his total lack of knowledge about sports for decades,
he did it in the shrillest, most annoying voice this side of Rosanne
Barr. Thanks to Cosell, we have to listen to Chris Berman's even more
annoying imitations of him. Before screwing up pro football every
Monday night, Cosell was primarily known for promoting the antics of
Muhammed Ali, and participating in many of them as a willing foil. Just
in case the audience didn't catch the brilliance of Ali's kindergarden
rhymes, Cosell was there to tell them how brilliant "the Greatest"
really was. Once he went to MNF, we had to put up with his repetitive,
tiresome soliloquies of political correctness. We also learned that
Jackie Robinson's middle name was Roosevelt, because Cosell managed to
say his entire name over and over again during broadcasts that
supposedly had nothing to do with a Brooklyn Dodger who broke the
modern color barrier in baseball. During his stints doing Major League
Baseball, which he also managed to ruin in his familar way, Cosell
would usually branch off into editorials that Karl Marx would have
approved of, when he wasn't glorifying the overrated, obnoxious Reggie
Jackson. Anyway, guess you can tell I didn't like him.

It's difficult for people under the age of 30 to realize what a huge impact Cosell had on society. He was the superstar of broadcast announcers, more of a celebrity than any today, though he was mostly reviled.

He was an early in-your-face change agent used by the system. He represented an alien style and an alien value system, not to mention he was personally repugnant to most people.

Like many comedians, Cosell seemed driven by self-loathing. He enjoyed all the negative attention he created. I remember seeing him leaving the stadium after a Monday Night football game, and everyone was booing and hollering his name in a derisive fashion. He loved it!

Self-loathing is a good way to describe Howard Cosell. Ali would publicly humiliate him and Cosell would sit there and take it. Ali once puled off his toupee, can you imagine that!!! Yet still he was a shill for blacks and the beginning of the caste system. The peak occurred when Cosell was in the middle of a furor over his MNF remark calling a black Redskins receiver a "little monkey". None of the black people he worked so hard to please came to his aid. He had to humiliate himself further by issuing a public apology. He set the level of humiliation that announcers aspire to today.

Yes, I remember the incident involving the Redskins' Alvin Garrett very
well. The joke was that the champion of p.c. nonsense in sports
"journalism" was caught up in it himself. The very idea that Cosell,
who set the bar for white announcers as far as overrating, overhyping
and idolizing any and all black athletes, could actually be prejudiced
against blacks was hilarious. Had it been anyone else, I would have
sympathized. Of course, because he was so essential to the culture
warlords who run Don King's America, Cosell survived his little slip of
the tongue. Virtually no other white figure has survived this kind of
thing, so that ought to tell us something about just how powerful he
was.

Cosell was very anti-white. But not surprising, since he was part of the bunch that has been working for over a century to destroy America - not to mention working for centuries to undermine or destroy whites.

The best part about Cosell's "monkey" remark was his return to MNF. Don Meredith said, "... good to have you back, you old orangutan." It was priceless.

Cosell was openingly Zionist........
