Yeah but even your eleven your old knows he was joking.

Nope, she could not tell. And we are familiar with his sense of humor.

Believe me, I'm not ragging on Pollard. I believe the apology covers it. I just wanted to share a childs point of view on it.

video evidence that nobody should even care

"He shouldn't be saying things like that even if he is joking. It's irresponsible. Some kids might be looking up to him and not think it's a joke. I no longer like him."

Sounds like she knew he was joking to me...

I had to tell her he was just joking.

My sisters friend used to date this guy, she said hes nuts...

I watched the video and you can barely make out what hes saying over the announcers talking, but its there, and actually kinda funny.

Some people care what is said to their kids. Kids watch the NBA. KIDS don't always understand irony.

He shouldn't have said it. As the Cavs GM said, it was "inappropriate humor."

I find it interesting that people are even upset that he apologized. No one is calling for his head or a fine, suspension, etc.

This isn't the first time Scot has let his mouth work without getting the brain involved. Remember the tantrum he threw at the scorer's table with Grant and Jerry because he thought Jon Barry was being dissed by the crowd at Arco? He said some pretty nasty things...

I love Scot Pollard. That doesn't excuse him from showing a little more restraint in some situations. What might have been funny as a SNL skit was just wrong during an NBA broadcast. It's all about location and timing.

If it was more noticeable I might agree with you, but it was quick cut to him and the mic didn't even pick it up that well.

I found out about this from the CNN.com front page. This is not front page news. Watching the video though, it made me laugh. At least through all the hand wringing "will anybody think about the children" schtick, Scot Pollard did manage to give me a chuckle.
