Why is Charles Barkley commentating on hockey?

[PensPlz]

Hockey fans "we need to grow the sport"

Also Hockey fans "omg why is this super popular black guy commenting on hockey?"

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

Just like the title.

Why?

He's not

 

[pb1300]

Just like the title.

Why?

Why are you commenting on hockey?

 

[Mobiandi]

I’d fire Ron MacLean for Barkley yesterday

 

[Satoru Gojo]

Chuck is a legend

 

[End of Line]

OP loves those big ol' women.

And churro’s

 

[OKR]

Because he has been watching hockey for longer than 90% of hfboards users, and because he is more known than any hockey player not named Gretzky.

 

[MadLuke]

Betting site and Network synergy ? he probably has to the rough audience popularity metric they try to use (and he try too moneytize)

 

[Matty Sundin]

He’s an actual fan of the sport and not paid to be there like most famous people are involved with the game

 

[Steppin Razor]

And churro’s

And he can't get the stuff from Victoria's Secret.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Why isn’t Charles Barkley commenting on more hockey?

 

[phillyb]

Nice thread OP. Well done.

 

[Ducks DVM]

He’s a big hockey fan and a larger than life media personality that people love to watch.

And I haven’t watched the NBA since he was still,playing, so I’m not saying that because I like basketball. He’s just that entertaining.

 

[le_sean]

Why are you commenting on hockey? At least I know who he is

 

[GMR]

He's doing some political show too isn't he?

He's entertaining but doesn't know spit about these other topics. It's just for ratings, which makes sense because that's TV.

 

[End of Line]

And he can't get the stuff from Victoria's Secret.

It’s definitely a secret for him

 

[JimmyH]

why not?

Why do you make useless threads?

Because he’s Charles f***ing Barkley?

This is your brain on ESPN

 

[Reality Check]

Complaining about Barkley, complaining about NHL-themed championship belts.

Who said NHL fans are boring?

 

[piqued]

Charles is a legend and a huge hockey fan. Show some respect

 

[ViD]

Those intermission panels are typically boring as heck so that adds some flavor to it

 

[bl02]

Because he's awesome and a national treasure.

Bingo! I literally watch almost no basketball but will tune into watch him on TNT during the half and postgame.

 

[Gnashville]

some cities have both NBA and NHL playing in the same arenas and those players share the training facilities and actually become friends. Charles started watching hockey in Philadelphia and is a huge fan.

 

[drktmplr12]

Did you ever see Space Jam?

Are you 23 and don't understand why sports networks pay famous athletes to comment on things?

Have you ever seen serjay bobobka play hockey?

[Bozo Nicholson]

I think I’ve figured it out, the OP is either from San Antonio or Galveston

OP all up in them churros.
