as you know dennis rodman was on CNN and
as he was talking to cuomo about his trip to North Korea for Kim Jong Un's
birthday
he was asked about Kenneth bAE what is he gonna do too
try to get or convince authorities in North Korea to
let Kenneth Bager 0 well rudman didn't really like that question he didn't take
kindly to it and for those of you who didn't see the clip take a look at this
got 10 guys all these guys here do you want
understand that we do and we appreciate that now we wish them well we're talking
to let me know
of same know I'll have the I meant last saturday on
pay almost any you mckinney's geyser
muaaa but that is not what I don't know you don't use them as an excuse to hear
that your make sure you enjoy your shower
so he kinda went ballistic
it possible that he has watched wrestling in his life
and that was a very wrestling promoter and yet he did not handle it in the most
professional way & Poor's like to be criticized but even when you're being
criticized its not usually good idea to kinda blow up like that
well his publicist has released an apology to the Associated Press
and Robin basically says that he was unfortunately under the influence of
alcohol when he was doing that interview
again not so professional but I would like to read you guys his apology and
you can judge for yourself whether or not
you want to accept that apology he says I want to apologize I take full
responsibility for my actions
it had been a very stressful day some of my teammates were leaving because the
pressure from their families and business associates
my dreams a basketball diplomacy was quickly falling apart
he continues to say I had been drinking it's not an excuse
but by the time the interview happened I was upset I was overwhelmed
it's not an excuse it's just the truth yet this is
I can perhaps the perfect example of what Jon Stewart on The Daily Show that
it's just we we can talk about potheads and say they're stoners you know it's
ridiculous they do what they do but drinking is wholly socially acceptable
drinking has now become the catch-all excuse for any kind of behavior
I know you can smoke crack or launched a tirade
against %uh CNN host and your case it's perfectly fine
I don't think people are going to read that statement thing is perfectly fine I
I really hope here in
you have and he was he was but then I remember once he started talking
a few his buddies kind of like told them to stop
I don't know if you noticed that there's a minute I got what he said something
along those lines i'm paraphrasing I remember the exact wording a bit
but someone tried to stop him probably because they knew would be a really bad
idea for him to answer that question
and got overly emotional and that's another thing that I thought found
interesting about his critics right no one says that he's over leap
emotional right they say that he goes ballistic I guess that means he's
a motional but if I'll yeah it was like Diana Taurasi or something I think
they'd be like oh she's like
NYC going so crazy dramatic yeah motion although it's not their goal I thought
about was really interesting
blood at the end of the day we have to chalk it up to the fact that
he is just a former basketball player okay he's not there for diplomacy
I think that this is a great opportunity for him to get back into the
you know the limelight and that's exactly what happened
he doesn't really care about Kenneth bAE what he said about Kenneth Bay was so
incredibly insensitive
because he basically indicated in that interview that can it be deserved to be
detained
and the reality is north Korea has it really specified why they detained him
in the first place
so I'm not even listening to anything he has to say about creating diplomatic
ties between North Korea and the United States you bring up a good point see say
that you're not gonna listen anything he says about that
I feel like I don't determine these things you and jiang determine if things
do you think that we should institute dennis rodman billion
not just because he's ridiculous but also because I I can I do think that
he's doing at least
some small damage and allowing this veneer
love I guess cosmopolitan like
in in north korea the fact that look we can get dennis rodman come here things
are so bad
yes you help legal right to me starve you but we get basketball star
yeah I think he's doing bad things that he done i think is definitely doing bad
things as well but at the same time
I at this point I do wanna ban so if there's another dennis rodman story that
doesn't really have any type of
influence on society then I'm not doing it right but there could be something
that happens that's really really important I want to share with the
audience so
it will be I have a delight bad yeah oh well ill be like the supreme court will
have different levels of scrutiny
on this story like he it has to be good can US things anymore but the
yeah I'm getting but no we well yet one final point on a bigger but this
so it's easy to look at him as being all crazy in things like man this guy
doesn't know what's going on
but they didn't show wisdom in one thing but
in the first half of the game that they playing into north korean yeah I played
against the north koreans
the North Korea scored 47 points the American scored 39
in the first half of the game after that big companies in the mix that he has it
that way I don't get killed
you know it but it might liked the idea that they're getting beaten by the North
Korean team which is all malnourished and prolly tiny
that seems ridiculous but I think that's similar to playing board games against
the Wookie
when you're playing bass going to create you let them win and
yes definitely definitely that would have been a really tricky situation
because
as the American team do you allow the north koreans to win because you don't
wanna get
murdered or eaten by dogs yeah I i mean %uh
that would have been really difficult so and that's another thing while they're
in north korea
I don't believe for a second that they're going to be even if they wanted
to say anything negative toward the country or Kim Jong Hoon
would be willing to take that risk I certainly wouldn't let me that he loves
being friends dennis rodman but that doesn't mean that he can't be put over
the edge and and and snap and kill 'em
my not there be no consequences for him he's like joffrey from Game of Thrones
and I bus speed rightfully mentioned earlier today
