“One Man’s Opinion” by Gordon E. Curvey

As some of you know I have been speaking out on the flat out racism and sportsradio KJR here in Seattle because of the fact in their twenty years over the air here in the Seattle/Tacoma and Everett, Washington area, they have had only ONE African American over the air as a sports host. Just one!! His name is Rick Dupree.

It is the “good ole boy network” in full effect on radio here in Seattle. When African Americans and people of color dominate the three major sports in the U.S. how can we have a sports radio station in KJR that does not employ people of color? In a city like Seattle. A city known for it’s DIVERSITY!!

Now they can be charged with unfair treatment of women too. This is a station runs a yearly contest called “The Bigger Dance” where 64 basketball (like in college basketball) is replaced by 64 women. Entertainers, sports stars etc.

The ladies are put in “brackets” and callers call in and vote for the lady they want to win. By the way every year 95% of the 64 ladies are white or not people of color. It is a racist and sexest so called contest.

To make matters worse. Today on sports host Dave Mahler’s program, Mahler and producer whose last name is Abker started to talk about college basketball and if Kentucky can beat the Washington Wizards of the NBA.

Somehow the topic of the WNBA came up and Mahler blasted the WNBA (as he always does). He said  the league  plays “below the rim” Abker brought up the African American star player at Baylor University Brittney Griner who is a VERY good player who is dominating ladies basketball. And she has dunked numourous times during games.

Abker then said “Yeah HE can really play” and Mahler and Abker both laugh. This comment by Abker is SEXEST!!! And in my opinion he should be fired or suspended ny KJR’s management ASAP.

This sexest comment made by Abker is the kind of crap that these guys have got away with in twenty years of KJR. Racist comments and sexest comments but NOTHING happens to the staff.

I am upset at this comment by Abker. I am going to see what happens to him. Most likely nothing. The racist and sexest comments against African Amercans and people of color and women needs to stop on KJR.

Bad timing with Abker’s sexest comments about Brittney Griner right before the sexest so called contest held by Mitch.

And by the way, Abker also called the African American player on the Mariners Chone Figgins “a bum” over the air today. Mahler said to Abker “Will you say that to Figgins in his face” and Abker said “yes”

Dave Mahler called Chone Figgins “a common criminal” over the air last season. Something in my opinion he should have been suspended for. So Chone Figgins has been called ” bum” and a “common criminal” on KJR. What is going on readers! This kind of treatment HAS TO STOP!!
