Actually, no. Kevin Rowland has admitted asking for the backdrop of Jocky as a joke. (And it was very funny ) | |

To Americans who follow basketball, of course. I’m British and I swear I’d never heard of him until this tragedy. | |

Ah! don’t say that, mun. I’ve been laughing at that for thirty-odd years. | |

Most I know would be as likely to be able to name him as they would the captain of the Ukrainian womens’ curling team.
The wall-to-wall press coverage here is completely baffling.  | |

He’s probably better known over here for being a rapist rather than a basketball player. | |

The implication is they couldn’t tell the difference between two black people and presumably they wouldn’t have made the same mistake if it was a white mega star.
In reality, it’s clumsy and unprofessional. It’s not racist. Human error is a fair summary, even though it’s a very embarrassing one. | | | |

Tell me about it a girl came onto me in Swansea last week and asked if I was the fella that played Aquaman. | |

Exactly. And I’m sure you weren’t racially offended. Must be the hair | | | |

Well , at least it goes some way to dispel the myth that KR had no sense of humour ! | |

Somehow I don't think that Gareth Edwards passing away in a crash would make headline news in USA. Why this is major news in UK is a bit strange. | |

BBC News channel had the story on continuously from around 8.10 until 9.30 last night. No other news was mentioned apart from that. Truly staggering. The BBC news channel is shit now, should be renamed the American news channel. Sad that people have died but most people in the UK wouldn't even know who he is. | |

Because Gareth Edwards isn’t a world renowned sport star. Whatever we think of basketball, it has a massive global audience and he was one of its biggest stars. | | | |
| Kobe Bryant Rest In Peace on 16:28 - Jan 27 with 1035 views | jack_lord |
I agree that the revered Mr Edwards isn't globally recognised and it will, possibly be headline news in Wales when his time comes but whatever we think of basketball is important. I lived in USA and can understand how they may feel and also that it may be a major sport in a few countries with a big audience but I guess most of us could probably reel off a handful of Basketball players. | |

Lived in USA?
You couldn’t find your way to Florida ffs. | |

| Kobe Bryant Rest In Peace on 17:21 - Jan 27 with 1006 views | jack_lord |
Ha, I lived in New York and I even drove to Florida on a great round trip that took in Philadelphia, Washington DC down to Florida, over to New Orleans up to Tennessee. A few other places before back to NYC.
That was a good while back though and I prefer American Football to basketball and could only mention a few players of that sport too. | |
