Barkley Sparks Outrage with San Antonio Comments

NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley has reignited his long-standing controversial feud with the women of San Antonio during the NCAA men's basketball championship festivities. Barkley repeated his infamous 'big ol' women' jokes at the Capital One JamFest, despite having reportedly been asked to retire the bit due to accusations of fat-shaming. The audience's reaction was mixed with cheers, laughter, boos, and online criticism, indicating the divisive nature of his comments. Some San Antonio locals on TikTok took the remarks in stride, while others criticized the sexist undertones. Barkley has consistently expressed admiration for San Antonio's sports culture, praising the city's NBA team and its coach, Gregg Popovich, before making his controversial remarks. Despite criticism, Barkley remains unapologetic, attributing attempts to censor his humor to cancel culture.
